Hi guys,
I was wondering if it is too late to submit my primary application. I just decided I may be interested in osteopathic medicine. I am done with my primary application but still need to get transcripts sent, etc. Is it worth it? I am only going to apply to two schools (CA). Thanks!

Exactly, every year people freak out about this. I wasn't complete at a lot of schools until October-November and I still got a lot of interest from them; my numbers weren't incredible either, just a little above average.
 
I'm not going to be able to submit until Jan. and most of the schools I've talked with say this is fine, of course this puts me at a disadvantage because there are less spots left, but for you, aug is right on time
 
no, you're fine, i'm sure there are a lot of others out there haven't submitted yet due to the last mcat being in sept
 
You're only applying to 2 schools? Is there a reason for this? (Are you trying to stay in one specific city?)

You know how unpredictable those CA schools can be, right? 🙁
 
Ah, gotcha. Thought they would be competitive as well (due to location)...maybe not?
