I don't think that's late. I submitted in August and was complete at all my schools around the end of October, including secondaries.
its just not worth it to apply that late. At that point secondaries are already being sent out and you are behind the game. Plus, i remember waiting on aacomas to verify all of my information was such a peach...
that takes 3 wks in itself (I applied in august as well).
If you have the grades where you're not worried about rolling admissions I wouldn't worry. (>3.5gpa, >27MCAT ballpark)
Otherwise, it only helps to apply earlier
I completely disagree. I received two interviews and two acceptances with only a 22 MCAT and my shining personality . I'm glad I didn't think it wasn't worth it to apply that "late".

You guys are completely misunderstanding me. I'm not saying you wont get in at all, by any means.
What I was saying was that scores that were below those would probably benefit from rolling admissions, as those are pretty competitive for DO schools.
I'm sure there are plenty who applied later then that with worse scores...
Yeah, but you went to the notorious pre-med powerhouse, Johnson Bible College. Their students always get the benefit of the doubt from adcoms.
I think we are arguing about different things . My only point you should have a good reason to apply in august, don't do it out of laziness
I'm submitting today or tomorrow but still working on LORs. I hope its not a bad idea. I want to get it in and have nothing holding me back besides LORs. AHHHH.
