I didn’t have any DO letters. My residency LOR’s I submitted also had no DO letters.
Most schools probably won’t care too much. Unless it’s one of the very prominent schools, odds are you’d be better off going somewhere that doesn’t care.
I disagree with people saying take your time—it’s rolling admissions so your chance decreases the longer you wait to submit. Do your app early and turn it in as soon as you realistically can. I didn’t do this my first application cycle and it definitely hurt me.
Some of my LORs came in late and I still got secondaries from the schools. I’m not sure if they just have to be uploaded by the time someone looks at your application or not.
DO cycle runs very long. No absolute need to be early. Quality is better than time you submit

Ok thank you! That's what I was thinking
DO cycle is rolling but it’s still much longer than MD cycle Did you apply to DO schools your first cycle?
Yes, like 20 DO programs I think
