Late DO Application?

Hello,
I applied to 4 MD schools, 2 IS and 2 OS. Basic stats are 3.9/517. I've had one interview and one rejection (no interview), heard nothing from the other two schools. I know that some DO schools have March 1 deadlines. I haven't set up an AACOMAS application, nor have I shadowed any DO's. Is it worth trying to get an application in to DO schools before this deadline?

It is too late to apply to apply to DO schools for the current cycle. Why did you apply to only 4 MD schools ? Where is your state of residence ? What are your ECs ?

Just to clarify, "too late" as in the deadline has passed, or "too late" as in not worth it?
I applied to few schools because of the cost of applications and because those were schools in my state/neighboring state/state to which I have close ties. AL resident.

Don't bother, it's too late. My school is already rationing seats and it's only mid-February! This is the earliest it's ever happened for us.

Work on interview skills instead.

And next cycle, apply to more schools.

Got it, thanks!

If you do not receive an acceptance from the one school where you interviewed, let us no in June and we can suggest a much larger number of schools to apply to.
