If you thought that NEOUCOM offers only an accelerated B.S./M.D. program, here is a new perspective: normally 20 percent of our first-year medical school students are admitted via the traditional four-year premedicine route. NEOUCOM offers a "small school" atmosphere, personalized attention, and what our students describe as a friendly and caring environment. We also have three consortium universities, 17 associated teaching hospitals, 6,500 teaching beds and nearly 1,800 clinical faculty members.

Application requirements include demonstrated proficiency in appropriate college course work and competitive scores that are no more than two years old from the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). Other admission criteria include faculty recommendations, student commitment and exposure to the field of medicine, and extracurricular and work activities. The medical school interview, by invitation only, is a vital part of the screening process.

Upon receipt of the AMCAS application and supplemental materials, the NEOUCOM Admissions Committee determines whether to keep the applicant’s file active for interview consideration.

Early Decision Program     Top of Page
Competitive applicants to the M.D. program who consider NEOUCOM their first choice school are encouraged to apply through NEOUCOM’S Early Decision Program (EDP). All EDP applicants must have MCAT scores and apply through AMCAS by August 1 of the year prior to anticipated enrollment. Notification regarding admission is given by October 1.

EDP Facts and Benefits

  • Earlier admission consideration.
  • A means of preferencing NEOUCOM as the medical school of your choice.
  • Status notification date of October 1. This is an advantage because of the limited number of seats in the M.D. program. The actual number of available freshmen openings is not determined until June of each year.
