I am considering submitting an application for osteopathic schools for this upcoming cycle (2019) - but, I am worried that it is too late to apply?

I have already collected my letters of recommendation, MCAT scores, written my personal statement, and submitted official transcripts.

A little bit about me:
URM male (Mexican-American): cGPA: 3.4, sGPA, 3.15 (strong upward trend), 510
Clinical: 1,500+ hours as a scribe
Research: 2,000+ hours + research fellowship post-grad
non-clinical: here and there

It's definitely not too late to apply. PCOM and Touro-NY haven't even sent out secondaries yet! You're probably in a good spot for this cycle, but I'd just pre-write your secondaries while you wait for them to come in. I'd also consider throwing in a few lower-tier MD schools if you can afford it as well depending on how strong of an upward trend you have.

It's still early by some standards. You'll likely get interviews and an acceptance or two. I was complete on 9/12 and got 8 IIs. You're more than okay

Oh yeah, definitely apply. It's still early for DO schools and still fairly early for MD schools.
