Editor's notes

May 15, 2027 is a trap. LMU-DCOM interviews and admits on a rolling basis from September, with first acceptances as early as Sept. 15, 2026. The school itself asks for complete files four weeks before the deadline. Treat fall as your real window.
No MCAT or GPA minimum doesn't mean numbers don't matter. The college-wide mean is a 497 MCAT and 3.60 GPA, and the committee lists upward grade trends and prerequisite grades among its factors. If your record has a dip, show the climb.
Orange Park is brand new. Its first class started in fall 2026, so there are no Florida board scores, match results or graduate debt figures yet; the outcomes LMU publishes come from Harrogate and Knoxville. That isn't a reason to skip it. It is a reason to ask pointed questions at your interview about third-year rotation sites in northeast Florida, since you'd be among the first students to use them.
The interview is one closed-file conversation of up to 20 minutes. Your interviewer hasn't read your application, so you have to bring the story yourself. Practice a two-minute version of why osteopathic medicine and why service to underserved communities, since mission fit is on the committee's list.
