First, stats:
3.4x C/S GPA. 519 MCAT. Lots of paid healthcare experience. 250+ nonmedical volunteer. 150+ medical volunteer. 1+ year research, no pubs.
I applied everywhere early, most of my secondaries complete mid July. I am aware that it's early still, but I haven't received the love from M.D. schools that I would have hoped for (1 II). I am still hopefully, but am starting to think of back up plans.
Whats the viability of applying to D.O. schools this late in the year? What about Podiatry schools? I would much rather start D.O. school in 2018 than be a re-applicant next year for M.D. However, I just am not very familiar with the D.O. process. I don't have very much money left after 30 M.D. apps, so if it's getting late for D.O., I probably would just save what little money I have left for next year. Thoughts/Advice? Thanks.
TL;DR: Whats the viability of applying to D.O. schools this late in the year? What about Podiatry schools?
