How to Apply

How to Apply

Step 1:

  • MSOM participates with other osteopathic colleges in a centralized application processing service called the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine Application Service (AACOMAS). To start the application process, prospective students must apply directly to AACOMAS.
  • Applicants must request all official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended be sent electronically directly from the institution(s) to AACOMAS according to the AACOMAS instructions. Students must also ensure that all MCAT scores are forwarded directly to AACOMAS from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). 

Step 2:

  • After receiving the verified AACOMAS application, students will be invited to submit an online Secondary Application. Students are responsible for ensuring they have met MSOM’s admission requirements (e.g., specific letters of reference, prerequisites, minimum MCAT score) prior to submitting a Secondary Application. 
  • Complete the MSOM Secondary Application and pay the $100 non-refundable secondary application fee. MSOM will waive the secondary application fee if the applicant has an approved AACOMAS fee waiver document. Students will be required to provide documentation of the AACOMAS fee waiver in the Secondary Application.

Step 3:

  • The MSOM Admissions Committee seeks individuals who are a good match for our mission and capable of meeting our academic and professionalism standards. Applicants are screened for academic achievement, clinical involvement, interpersonal skills, leadership qualities, service, perseverance, maturity, motivation, and knowledge of the osteopathic profession. Applicants who pass this screening will be invited for a virtual interview.

Step 4:

  • Admitted applicants must notify the Office of Admissions of their intention to enroll and pay the non-refundable enrollment deposit fee within a specified time period to secure their seat for fall 2025 (Class of 2029).
