WesternU COMP DO Admissions (Fall 2027)

Quick facts

• School: Western University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (COMP), Pomona, California (apply now).
• Program: Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO).
• Cycle: Fall 2027 application cycle.
• Application: AACOMAS primary, WesternU secondary, supporting documents, and prerequisites.
• Review: rolling admissions; applications should be completed early.
• Verification: official WesternU sources checked 2026-08-08.

Admission requirements

Applicants must complete the AACOMAS application and WesternU secondary, submit required documents and MCAT scores when available, and meet COMP prerequisite and application requirements (requirements). The current requirements page directs applicants to confirm course prerequisites and supporting materials for their entry year; the public page does not expose a complete course table in the rendered text, so do not invent one.

WesternU says international applicants may apply but must satisfy the same requirements and may need a foreign-course evaluation. Applications are processed after documents post, and the admissions committee selects candidates for interview. Transfer applications are case-by-case and require a separate counselor review; this page is scoped to the standard first-year DO application.

Important dates

• May 4, 2026: AACOMAS primary application opens.
• March 1, 2027: primary application closes.
• March 15, 2027: WesternU secondary application closes.
• September 2026 onward: WesternU says interviewing begins in September.

COMP advises submitting the secondary within two weeks of receiving the link and applying early because review is rolling. Confirm all dates and required documents in the live WesternU portal before applying (apply now).

How selection works

WesternU describes an AACOMAS-to-secondary workflow followed by document processing, holistic admissions review, and interview consideration (apply now). The school advises early completion because admissions are rolling. The current public pages do not publish a scoring formula or threshold beyond the listed application and prerequisite requirements.

Interview details

Confirmed

The admissions committee selects applicants for interview and WesternU says interviews begin in September for the Fall 2027 application cycle (apply now).

Not published

The current official pages do not publish interview modality, station count, duration, interviewer assignment, scoring rubric, or a current question list. Do not infer an MMI or a California-campus-only format.

Who this program may suit

WesternU describes a humanistic approach to health-care education, collaboration, mentorship, and early clinical experience (apply now). Applicants who can explain why osteopathic medicine fits their goals and connect service, teamwork, communication, and patient-centered care to their experiences may find those themes relevant. These are preparation considerations, not an admission prediction.

Practice and next step

Original Videoath practice: Use the linked general fairness prompt to practise a concise answer about allocating a scarce clinical resource. Record a timed response, review empathy, reasoning, and the action you chose, adjust one weakness, record it again, and compare the attempts. This is general Videoath practice, not a WesternU COMP question.
