More About the Medical School
NYITCOM’s admissions process is holistic, considering academic performance, leadership qualities, and commitment to service. Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree and complete prerequisite courses, including biology, chemistry, and physics, along with the MCAT. The primary application is submitted via AACOMAS, followed by a secondary application that includes additional essays and a fee.
Interviews are conducted by invitation at one of the two campuses, assessing interpersonal skills and suitability for osteopathic medicine. NYITCOM follows a rolling admissions process, with the AACOMAS application deadline typically on February 1, and secondary applications due shortly afterward.
Prospective students should also meet technical standards in areas like observation and communication. Dual-degree programs may have additional requirements, and international students must meet specific criteria for eligibility.
