Hi guys,

I'm curious, would it be too late to apply to DO schools now?

Thanks.
 
It depends upon your overal stats and application, if you have a strong GPA, MCATs, and very strong ECs and LORs you still might have a chance, if you consider yourself an average applicant you would be late. Generally speaking you should have your primary submitted by July at the latest, applications this year are climbing to some very high levels and considering the fact that the economy is terrible a lot more people are applying to medical school and other graduate programs so don't be surprised if its getting more competitive.
