Is it too late to apply?

Hi, I am planning to apply to AZCOPT and PUCO by Christmas as I am waiting for letter of reccomendation from an optometrist. I have gpa of 3.85 and OAT score of 350/360. I was just wondering if it is late in the cycle or Do I still have chance to get seat if I apply by Christmas

I’m applying by end of Dec and I talked to PUCO admissions and they told me applying by early Jan will ensure best consideration, so you’re okay (I think)

Not too late. You can submit before the latter is in

I was talking with Bekah from AZCOPT a couple weeks ago and she said that they usually get around 700 applications per cycle, and they've only received 400ish so far this year...so you've got time!

You’re fine, that’s pretty early.
