Is sept mcat too late? Aacomas already verified but delaying my August mcat to sept 7, is that too late for this cycle?
Not if you score really well (29+)
Late, but not out of the running late.
Would it look bad if I took it twice? August and then September, if August doesn't go as well as I want?

Not really. The DO cycle is longer than the one for MD schools. At the worst, you might interview in, say, Feb/Mar, instead of Nov/Dec if you had your packet in by now.
3.3 Cumulative 3.4 science, solid ECs/LORs. Take it in August, and then sign up for September retake?
Goro,
How does one's chances of being accepted post a Feb/Mar interview vs. Nov/Dec? Typically, what percentage of total seats is still available by Feb/Mar?
Late, but not out of the running late.
Concur: DO schools have much longer cycle than the MD ones.
This is not the case with me, but if one were to apply early with subpar stats (say...3.2/3.2/23 very early on in the cycle, would they have a high chance of acceptance? I only ask b/c over in the MD section it seems almost suicide if you don't apply early. I keep on seeing DO threads with people asking about applying in late aug/sept and people telling them they'll be fine lol
I think the 23 would be too low..

Contacted some schools, some said that it would be late but not too bad, and would more likely interview( if offered) January/February. Seems like schools are starting interviews earlier this year.
Touro-NY said I should aim for 30+ with 11 in Bio
KCOM/NOVA both said late, but still should apply and referenced rolling admission..
MSU is apparently starting acceptances in September..so probably the Canadian spots will be gone..
So get a 30+ and hope for the best
Did Touro lose its mind or something?
Don't forget, OP's Canadian.
Actually, Touro-NY is rumored to be quite picky this cycle. They want high stats, in particular the Bio section.
Supply and demand.
I won't be surprised if half their class is pulled from wait listed applicants. Simply put the supply is not there.
Idk man times are tough, and getting into med school is already hard as it is. I think there's more than enough people willing to apply and be grateful for a spot at Touro

I'd agree with this, way more competent applicants than seats.

I guess their mcat average is probably 29+... I guess in that case it would not be crazy to suggest OP to get a 11+ in BS
