Is it too late to add schools?

I have been starting to get the courage and money to add more AMCAS schools. I initially only applied for like 6 since as a TX student I felt it was a waste. But with no TMDSAS love and a few AACOMAS As under my belt, I'm wondering if I should add a few. It might be too late but I saw a few open on AMCAS. Should I apply to one of these:
Roseman
Drexel
Quinnipac
Temple
Howard

I have a 503, 3.8cGPA, 3.6sGPA w/ a preventive med/primarycare/public health ffocus (ORM)

N = 1 but I am still submitting secondaries, so you aren't alone. However, I would submit to schools that are more or less within your stat range and strong mission fit. For a school to look at our applications this late, it needs to be reasonable, you know?

Wishing you the best of luck and congrats on your current acceptances.

I wouldn't. Even though you may be within deadlines at those schools, we're late enough in the cycle that I'm not sure it is worth the secondary fee. If you're looking to apply to just one school and are looking for your best shot, Methodist Cape Fear just started accepting applications for this cycle so you're actually still making good time there.

Agree with the above. I can only recommend Methodist this late into the cycle and see how it shakes out.

I did add Methodist Cape Fear and am honestly really intrigued by the location and their mission. Hopefully that works out. I wish finances worked out when I sent out the primaries to shoot my shot wider.

So even Roseman would be a donation?

They are on a traditional schedule again for their 2nd class. I do not know how much trouble they had last cycle, but it appears they were able to fill the class on time based on the school-specific thread here on SDN.
