I don't think AACOMAS mandates that time. It will depend when a school starts interviewing and their timeframe to render a decision. Some do not begin to interview until September and then a few weeks to allow a committee to meet and render a decision and then time to get the decision out to the applicant. Can be a 6 week turnaround.
my school has first round of interviews this week, and has been know to send out acceptances in august. It is totally school dependent

Unlike MD there is no official start date at which schools are required to wait to start giving out acceptances.

If you get accepted at my school you'll be notified in late September
It varies school to school, but some of the ones that send out interview invites in early August you would know as early as late August.
Piggybacking off of this thread: is it true that per AACOMAS rules, DO schools cannot send out email confirmation of acceptances until October 1st?
I've seen someone on Reddit claim that they've already been accepted to a DO school this cycle.
Yes. I have also been accepted to a DO this cycle and know at least one other person who has at the same school
which school if I may ask
I can share via PM!
