AACOMAS is a centralized online application service for prospective students applying to participating colleges of osteopathic medicine. It helps applicants organize the core information and materials required for osteopathic medical school applications in one place and send a single completed application to selected programs. Program-specific requirements, fees, deadlines, and supplemental steps can vary, so review each program carefully.

Key AACOMAS Benefits:

  • Program Discovery: Search and compare participating osteopathic medical programs and review each program's admissions requirements.
  • Efficiency: Enter core biographic, academic, and experience information once instead of repeating it for every selected program.
  • Centralized Document Submission: Request transcripts and submit required supporting materials through one application account, subject to each program's requirements.
  • Application Monitoring: Track application progress, transcript receipt, and program submission status in one place.
  • Application Support: Use application instructions and available applicant support while completing your materials.

How to Use It:

  1. Create an account and research the specific requirements for each program you are interested in.
  2. Enter biographic and educational history details into the application portal.
  3. Request official transcripts or upload unofficial transcripts to be sent directly to AACOMAS depending on program requirements.
  4. Request recommendations from faculty or employers via the system, if required by your designated program.
  5. Submit the application before program deadlines to allow for processing time.
