2010 DO Medical College Application Service Now OPEN
The Association of American Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) Announces Opening of 2010 DO Medical School Application Cycle
AACOM is very pleased to announce the live launch of the 2010 AACOMAS application today! Applicants will be able to begin their application to the nations’ 25 Osteopathic Medical Colleges and branch campuses, and submit as soon as they have completed it. The URL link is here.
They have implemented a few new enhancements to the 2010 AACOMAS which are highlighted below:
For applicants the most significant change is the opportunity for re-applicants to “roll forward” their 2009 application – this means that they will not have to enter all of their coursework again. This process does still require the applicant rolling forward data to review and affirm the data that are on each page of the application before submitting.
In the past, applicants who did not read the instructions for the application may have experienced a delay in processing when we opened their application for verification and discover that they did not entered any coursework. We have added a required checkbox for them to indicate that they have entered all coursework.
The Instructions for Completing the Colleges and Coursework section of the 2010 AACOMAS is also available from the library area in 108 Norton Hall. It was recently attached in a prehealth listserv announcement.
Applicants will now provide their 8-digit MCAT/AAMC number that was assigned to them when they registered for their MCAT exam. AACOMAS must have this number in order to accurately match their MCAT scores to their AACOMAS application.
Applicants will be asked the following on the 2010 AACOMAS: “I authorize AACOMAS to release information about my application to pre-professional health advisors at the colleges and universities that I attended to assist in the counseling of future applicants”: (X)Yes ( )No
Please consider checking off “YES” in order to allow your data to flow into the Advisor Information Center (AIC) portal for use (confidential) by the Office of Prehealth Advising Services.
