Like there's a touro in NY and one in nor cal and there's a LECOM in Florida (I could never refuse medical school in florida) and PA. Is there any issue if I apply to multiple ones? I'm looking to apply super broadly to DOs tomorrow.

No problem doing that.
The application opens May 5, you can't submit your apps till June.

You have to make a preference between touro middletown or harlem and lake erie greensburg or erie. Otherwise no problem

It opens May 5th, just like AMCAS (this year at least).

The NY, CA and NV schools are all separate and actually competitors of one another.

Nothing wrong with a little competition I guess! Happens all the time between PI's in the same department here!

so you have to apply separately? they don't automatically consider you for all campuses with 1 app. ?

No, they don't. Only ones that are same application are Touro Harlem/Middleton and LECOM Erie/Seton Hill
Edit: Sorry if I was unclear initially. You must apply to all programs separately except for the ones that I listed

 

[Goro]

My understanding is that you need to make separate app for each school.

The only school that does this is VCOM with VCOM-VC, VCOM-CC, and VCOM-Auburn. LECOM also has one application for both LECOM-E and LECOM-SH, but LECOM-B is separate.

I think western is another one were you give preference to one school. I don't exactly remember though.

The Touro's don't even have remotely similar secondary questions if I recall correctly. I only applied to California, but I looked into the other ones in case they had the same essays and I could just press a button like CCOM and AZCOM.

I was under the impression from your applicant sticky that you could submit it anytime in may?

You can submit in May but submission doesn't mean your app goes out to schools. It just means you're submitting for verification. Once June 15 hits then your app will be sent IF it is verified. Hence why it's smart to complete as early as possible and submit to allot time for AACOMAS to complete the verification process.

So that's my mistake in terms if terminology. Let's consider submit to mean actually pressing submit on the application online. My apologies for the confusion!

 

[Drrrrrr. Celty]

This is only an issue with applying to the multiple campuses of VCOM. You're only allowed to apply to a single VCOM and then rank your desired locations out of the three.

 

[Mad Jack]

I applied to all the Touros and all the LECOMs, got invites to all of them.

Thank you, that clears it up nicely!

What did OP do to get nailed by the banhammer????

 

[deleted158872]

so... does applying to more than 1 campus increase my chance of admission?

I suppose so, in that it increases the number of schools you're applying to. Beyond that though, no.
