Editor's notes

One application covers both campuses, and the committee can place you at either. If Jonesboro is your first choice, make the case in the supplemental with real ties to the Delta or to rural practice. If you'd only go to Long Island, don't list Arkansas as a fallback you can't defend.
The Arkansas campus is built around the Mississippi Delta: a population health certificate in the first 1.5 years, 150-plus regional rotation sites, and scholarships for students from named Delta counties. Twenty-six of the 121 students who entered in 2026 were from Arkansas, so most of the class came from other states. Your answer on where you'll practice still needs to explain why this region.
Once you submit the supplemental, NYITCOM won't take updates or new materials. Don't submit it until your letters are in AACOMAS and your experiences are final.
Deadlines run to March 2027, but interviews and acceptances are rolling from late summer, with a class of about 120. Apply early rather than to the deadline.
