Deadlines

AACOMAS deadline: March 1, 2027
Secondary deadline: No secondary application (program questions are in the AACOMAS primary)

Don't plan around March 1. AZCOM says in its catalog that it considers applications first come, first served until the seats are filled, and it won't look at your file until both letters are in. Line up your physician letter before AACOMAS opens so your file is complete in the summer.
With no secondary, your AACOMAS personal statement is the only essay AZCOM reads. Check it against the catalog's list: understanding of osteopathic medicine, service to the community, commitment to health care shown through work or volunteering, and communication. If one is missing, fix the statement, not a secondary that doesn't exist.
Your physician letter should come from a DO if possible; the catalog strongly recommends it. AZCOM also accepts only in-person shadowing, so virtual shadowing hours won't carry the weight they might elsewhere.
If you're at a partner school or in a Midwestern biomedical sciences master's, call admissions before you apply. At least 50 seats are held for qualified Midwestern biomedical sciences graduates, and several universities have guaranteed-interview agreements.
