Editor's notes
- The posted deadlines, April 30 for AACOMAS and June 16 for the supplemental, are close to meaningless. RVUCOM reviews on a rolling basis and says every interview may be given out before the supplemental deadline. Apply early in the summer and turn the supplemental around within days.
- Your interviewers won't see your GPA or MCAT. They'll have your personal statement, your supplemental answer and your letters, and their questions come from there. So treat the supplemental as interview prep. Don't write anything you can't talk about.
- Read the letter rule closely. One letter must come from a DO, MD, PA or NP who supervised your clinical work, not a doctor you shadowed for an afternoon. If you don't have that supervisor yet, fix it before you apply.
- One application covers Colorado and Utah, and you can ask to be considered at both. If you want the Urban Underserved track, note that it runs only in Colorado. Otherwise, opting into both campuses costs you nothing.
