Hi, due to some special circumstances, I must push back my interview date from the beginning of November to the beginning of December. This won't hurt my chances too much right? Considering the DO cycle is very long, the class size won't be filled up by December right?

I believe you will be fine as long as your stats are close to the average or above. It is not that late in the cycle either.

Depends on the school. I read that last year KCU filled up in December. Check with 2014-2015 forum on the school and see when they filled up

Overall, yes it will be disadvantageous to do such a thing.

To what degree it's disadvantageous, is a variable factor that considers your stats, background, and the school. Me personally, I'd rather not push it that far back. Unless your reasoning is that you're undergoing surgery, family member died, or something of that sort.
Good luck!

If you have to then you have to. However, it can be a disadvantage if the school uses rolling admissions
