Wait List / Alternate List on MD, DO acceptance

Hey all,

I am on the alternate list at an MD school which happens to be my absolute top choice.

However, I was also accepted into a DO school as back up. Can I keep my for-sure seat at the DO school past May 15 and still stay on the Alternate list at the MD school in hopes that they will accept me by the start of their classes July 28th?

I want to know so that if I don't get on the alternate list by the start of the MD school's classes, I can still just start school this year at the DO school August 4th.

Thanks!

There are traffic rules that prevent an MD school from accepting a student who has started at another MD school. There is no communication between MD and DO schools, however.

So I can just stay on the MD wait list and then just attend school at the DO school if I wasn't accepted?
I know there probably isn't a website or specific source for this information, but hopefully someone has had the same problem / experience.

Thanks for your replies.
