Career goals and the mission (4,000 characters)

The MISSION of Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine (CUSOM) is to educate and prepare community–based osteopathic physicians in a Christian environment to care for the rural and under-served populations in North Carolina, the Southeastern United States, and the nation. Briefly describe how your career goals align with the CUSOM Mission

Three core values (4,000 characters)

Identify three of your core values, and discuss how these values align with the CUSOM Mission

Editor's notes

Read the mission as a checklist. It names a Christian environment, community-based practice and rural and underserved patients in North Carolina and the Southeast, and two of the three secondary essays ask you to align with it. The residency data shows the school means it: 36% of the Class of 2026 stayed in North Carolina.
Your physician letter is required, not optional. One of the two letters must come from a DO or MD, and the file isn't reviewed until it arrives. Line it up before you submit AACOMAS.
Applicant Day isn't a one-on-one interview. It's a virtual day of interactive dialogue sessions, so prepare to talk with several people in conversation, not to recite answers.
Early decision runs on a short clock: a June 1 deadline, two weeks to return the secondary, and a decision within days of Applicant Day. If Campbell is your first choice and you have a 3.5 and a 50th-percentile MCAT, it's worth it. Merit scholarships also go out on a rolling basis.
