Application Procedures Top of Page
The application process begins in August of each year for the following summer and is an online process. There is only one "common" application. This application is submitted to NEOUCOM then forwarded to all three undergraduate universities; a separate undergraduate admissions application to each university should not be completed - the common application for the B.S./M.D. program is considered both the application to the program and the application to the university, even if the applicant later decides on a different major.
The application deadline for the B.S./M.D. program is October 1 for Early Action (non-binding) and December 15 for Regular Notification. All of the required materials for a complete application must be postmarked by the deadline date. It is the applicant's responsibility to make sure that all of the required admissions materials meet the postmark deadline. Letters of recommendation are not required and will not be reviewed for consideration into the program.
A select number of students will be invited to participate in the interview process. The interview selection process is determined independently by each admissions committee at the three consortium universities. Applicants selected for an interview are notified by the university admissions committees in late January.
Application Fee Top of Page
You may pay the application fee by electronic check or credit card when completing the online application. Cash will not be accepted.
Applicants may qualify for waiver of the application fee based on receipt of the following documentation: Fee Waiver
Application Status Notifications
Automatic email notifications are sent each Wednesday to those applicants that have yet to finish the online application. This email lists the applicant's items that are specifically needed. Applicants can also log back onto the system and review their missing items.
Once the application is complete, NEOUCOM processes the application and forwards to all three consortium universities for consideration.
For Early Action applications that are not complete by the October 1 deadline, they will not be considered for Early Action, but will be considered for Regular Action as long as all application materials are received by December 15.
Interviewing for the B.S./M.D. Program Top of Page
The NEOUCOM-University Admissions Subcommittee will review applicant files for highly qualified applicants to the B.S./M.D. program. Competitive applicants will then be selected to interview at the undergraduate institution(s) and at NEOUCOM. This interview component at NEOUCOM will provide a greater opportunity for applicants to:
- provide multiple examples of insight into their abilities;
- meet with NEOUCOM faculty and staff;
- visit the Rootstown campus;
- obtain more detailed information about the program and the institution; and
- meet with medical and pharmacy students to discuss the interprofessional curriculum and life as a medical student.
