Hi. I submitted a bit late in July, but completed all my secondaries by the end of September. I originally submitted to 12 DO schools because my MCAT score isn't fantastic. I have gotten a few responses but am still waiting to hear back from almost all the schools. I was looking through some of the other schools stats and realized there are quite a few that I could be in consideration for, but I wasn't sure if it was too late now. I don't want to pay the fee to apply if I have no chance, but I also dont want to potentially miss an opportunity to interview if there is one.
for reference, I am considering schools like NYITCOM, touro, UNECOM, WVCOM, WCUCOM, LMUCOM, and Noorda

It's probably too late unless you apply to the newer schools.
