Admission requirements

LUCOM participates in AACOMAS. Applicants meeting minimum requirements receive an application checklist, $50 fee instructions and three required letters: a board-certified MD/DO, a science faculty member or pre-health advisor/committee, and a pastor, volunteer coordinator, employer or faculty member. Applicants must agree to technical standards and institutional policies. Foreign coursework requires a course-by-course evaluation.

Important dates

The current application-process page does not publish a complete year-labelled Fall 2027 deadline table. It says applicants should schedule an interview within 30 days of application submission; seat deposits and checklist deadlines are communicated through the portal. Recheck https://www.liberty.edu/lucom/admissions/application-process/ before applying.

How selection works

LUCOM reviews AACOMAS information, recommendations, personal statement, professional experience and interview information. The admissions committee considers academic and mission criteria after the interview; an interview does not assure admission. Source: https://www.liberty.edu/lucom/admissions/application-process/

Interview details

Confirmed

LUCOM hosts in-person interviews; virtual interviews are typically offered during inclement-weather months, December through February. Faculty interviews are approximately 25 minutes, with student, financial-aid and admissions presentations. Source: https://www.liberty.edu/lucom/admissions/application-process/

Not published

The current pages do not publish a Fall 2027 invitation calendar, station count, scoring rubric or question list.

Who this program may suit

LUCOM may suit applicants who can articulate osteopathic-medicine motivation, professional service and readiness to engage with Liberty's learning environment and policies. These are preparation cues, not an admission prediction. Source: https://www.liberty.edu/lucom/admissions/application-process/

Practice and next step

Original Videoath practice: Use the linked general ethics prompt to rehearse a concise faculty-interview answer. Record a timed spoken answer, review feedback tied to the recording, choose one weakness, adjust the answer, record it again, and compare both attempts. This is general practice, not a LUCOM question.
