ACOM Early Decision Program

ACOM Early Decision Program

The  Early Decision Program offers a pathway for applicants who designate ACOM as their top choice among osteopathic and allopathic medical schools, streamlining the application process and helping to avoid the financial burden associated with applying to multiple medical schools. As an added incentive, ACOM is offering a discounted deposit of $500, compared to the standard $2000, for those accepted through the Early Decision Program.
