Editor's notes

March 31 is a hard stop for everything, supplemental and letters included, and review is rolling. The inaugural class filled ahead of schedule, so treat early fall as your real deadline.
You'd be joining a school with no graduates, no board results and no match list yet. That's the trade: a small class and a chance to shape the culture, against no track record. Say in your essays why that appeals to you, with evidence you've built something before.
The mission language is service, equity and the health of diverse communities, and 46% of the first class is from New York. If you have ties to Buffalo or Western New York, make them concrete. If you don't, show why you'd train and possibly stay there.
The MCAT floor is firm at 501, and D'Youville says it only considers U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Check both before you spend the $50 supplemental fee.
