How selection works

PCOM Georgia candidates submit a separate AACOMAS application and $75 fee. Although requirements and process are shared across PCOM's three locations, an individual Faculty Committee on Admissions evaluates each location-specific application. DO application requirements

PCOM uses holistic review. It considers grades and MCAT alongside research, clinical exposure, leadership, extracurricular activities, community involvement, motivation for medicine, recommendations and autobiographical statements. Qualified applicants receive rolling interview invitations from the Georgia admissions office. DO application requirements

The school publishes no numerical selection weights, GPA or MCAT cutoff, interview scoring or weight, committee-vote rule or final score-combination method.

Not published

The current page does not publish the number of interviews, one-to-one, panel or MMI structure, duration, interviewer roles, file access, question categories, preparation time, scoring rubric, weights, assessor calibration, committee-vote mechanics or final score-combination method. It also does not explain whether virtual and on-campus interviews are assessed identically.

Who this program may suit

PCOM Georgia is a branch campus in Suwanee, 27 miles north of downtown Atlanta. Its focus is recruiting and educating students from Georgia and surrounding states and retaining health professionals in the Southeast. The curriculum combines lectures with applied learning, simulation and live patient actors, followed by clinical education in hospitals and clinics across greater Atlanta. PCOM Georgia DO program

Applicants should be prepared to connect a specific experience to Southeast health needs, whole-person care and community service. The separate AACOMAS identity and individual Faculty Committee support a campus-specific page even though the requirements are shared across PCOM locations.

Practice and next step

Record one response to the featured prompt. Use a specific clinical, service or leadership example to show what you observed, how you acted, what you learned about the person's wider context and why it matters for care in Georgia or the Southeast.

Review whether the answer demonstrates empathy, resilience, clinical understanding and a grounded reason for PCOM Georgia. Record it again with one improvement, then compare both attempts. Practise for both conversational and structured delivery because PCOM publishes modality choice but not interview structure.
