The Valley College of Osteopathic Medicine is dedicated to selecting applicants who not only reflect our mission and values but also demonstrate the qualities needed to thrive in our rigorous curriculum and contribute meaningfully to the osteopathic profession.

Applicants who successfully pass the initial screening process will be invited to schedule and attend an Interview Day. Participation in Interview Day is mandatory for admission and serves as a two-way evaluation: The evaluation process assesses whether the applicant is a strong fit for The Valley College of Osteopathic Medicine, while the applicant has the opportunity to determine if The Valley COM aligns with their goals and values.

The Admissions Committee conducts a holistic review of each applicant, considering academic preparation, achievements, MCAT performance, personal statement, letters of recommendation, and experiences in health care, research, and community service.

Beyond academic metrics, we prioritize attributes that predict success in medical education and practice—such as compassion, strong communication skills, teamwork, leadership, professionalism, integrity, and a commitment to lifelong learning. We value evidence of resilience, a dedication to professional goals, and a genuine interest in serving communities.
