One cached rendering of the same official page still exposes an older 2025–26 table with a December 2 supplemental deadline. The current indexed 2026–27 table and the live general application text both state December 1, which controls this guide.
How selection works
NEOMED screens AMCAS applications before sending the supplemental, then reviews complete traditional-path applications on a rolling basis. The current pages require academic preparation, personal statements and MCAT but do not publish a regular-path GPA or MCAT cutoff. Apply
The school does not publish quantitative component weights, its secondary-screen formula, interview scoring, committee-vote rules or the timing formula for rolling decisions.

Who this program may suit
NEOMED frames its medical education around competence, communication, caring, curiosity, character and commitment to community. Applicants should connect those qualities to concrete decisions and sustained experiences rather than relying on general claims. College of Medicine admissions
