Our admissions team reviews each application holistically, considering academic performance, service, leadership, and alignment with the values of osteopathic medicine.

Selected applicants will be invited to participate in an asynchronous, multiple mini-interview (MMI) to further assess their preparation, interpersonal skills, and commitment to patient-centered care.
5. Interview
Based on MMI results, applicants may be invited to a live virtual, one-on-one, semi-structured interview on the Kira Talent platform.
6. Admissions Decision
Following the interview, applicants will receive an admissions decision. Offers are extended on a rolling basis from March through June.
