Deadlines

Treat April 1 as fiction. CCOM reviews on a rolling, first-come, first-served basis, and the catalog says about half of all offers are usually out by the end of December. Your file isn't reviewed until both letters are in, so line them up before AACOMAS opens.
Your AACOMAS personal statement is doing most of the work here. CCOM says it wants a demonstrated understanding of osteopathic medicine and a service record. Show both with specifics: what you saw a D.O. do, and what you did for other people over time.
Get the physician letter from a D.O. if you can. It's listed as preferred, not required, but the catalog says D.O. letters are strongly recommended, and it doubles as proof that you've seen osteopathic practice up close.
Budget for the real number. Year 1 runs $124,916 on the off-campus budget, and Midwestern flags the end of the Grad PLUS loan. Most CCOM scholarships open only after you enroll, so plan your financing as if you won't get one.
