Admission requirements

CCOM lists a bachelor’s degree before matriculation, a minimum cumulative and science GPA of 2.75 for supplemental consideration, MCAT scores no more than three years before planned enrollment, and two recommendation letters. One letter must come from a premedical advisory committee, pre-health advisor or basic-science professor; a U.S.-licensed D.O. or M.D. is preferred for the second, and osteopathic letters are strongly recommended (CCOM program admissions).

The current CCOM catalog lists biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry and physics with labs at 8 semester hours each, plus 6 semester hours of English composition; grades of C or better are required. Anatomy, physiology and biochemistry are recommended. Applicants must show interest in osteopathic medicine, service orientation, healthcare motivation, communication skills and readiness for the College’s technical standards (CCOM catalog).

Important dates

The current official CCOM catalog lists April 1 as the AACOMAS and completed-application deadline and says the application is typically available in May or June. It describes rolling review, with interviews generally beginning in September and ending in April, and status notifications within four weeks after interview. These dates are annual/no-year guidance, not verified Fall 2027 deadlines; confirm the next year-labelled CCOM and AACOMAS calendar before applying (CCOM catalog).

How selection works

CCOM reviews completed AACOMAS files in a rolling process within a competitive framework. Interview eligibility is assessed after the application, MCAT, transcripts and two letters are received. The interview panel evaluates academic and personal preparedness using a standardized evaluation form; the Admissions Committee may recommend admission, denial, hold or alternate-list placement, subject to Dean approval (CCOM catalog).

Interview details

Confirmed

CCOM’s current catalog describes virtual and on-campus interviews, typically from September through April. Applicants meet an interview panel that may include basic scientists, current students, administrators and clinicians; panel members assess academic and personal preparedness using a standardized evaluation form (CCOM catalog).

Not published

The cited official sources do not publish station count, duration, scoring rubric beyond the standardized evaluation description, question list or a Fall 2027 interview schedule. Do not infer an MMI format.

Who this program may suit

CCOM emphasizes osteopathic philosophy, patient-oriented care, teamwork, integrity, professionalism, service and communication (CCOM program mission). Applicants who can connect service, healthcare experience and a clear interest in osteopathic medicine to those themes may find the program relevant. This is preparation guidance, not an admission prediction.

Practice and next step

Original Videoath practice: Use the linked general fairness prompt to practise a concise response for a panel interview about a patient-care trade-off. Record a timed answer, review feedback tied to the recording, choose one weakness in structure, empathy or decision explanation, adjust it, record again and compare both attempts before choosing the next practice target. This is general practice, not a CCOM question.
