Notes

Texas public school: the deadline shown is the TMDSAS deadline on the AACOM Explorer card; AACOM's profile lists the primary application service as 'Other'. | TMDSAS deadline for the 2026-2027 cycle (entering 2027) was 10/01/2026 (AACOM Explorer and profile), already past as of 2026-10-13. College site: Site still displays the entering-2026 cycle: 'Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service (TMDSAS) Online Application (2026 Application Due October 1, 2025 by 5:00 p.m. CT)'; 'TCOM Secondary Application (2026 Application Due October 15, 2025 by 5:00 p.m. CT)'; 'Admissions Schedule (2026): May 1 TMDSAS application becomes available ... May 15 TMDSAS application submission opens ... August 1 Submission deadline for TCOM EDP applications'. No entering-2027 deadline shown.. | In-state/regional preference (college site): Since we're a state-supported medical school, we're required to fill at least 90% of our seats in each incoming class for Texas residents. The remaining 10% are open to non-residents. | Accreditation statement on college site: The Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine is accredited by the American Osteopathic Association's Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA). TCOM was granted a 10-year Accreditation with Exceptional Outcome in 2018, the highest level of accreditation given by the COCA, indicating TCOM is compliant with all COCA standards and that all elements were met at the time of the review. | AACOM profile accreditation text: UNT Health – TCOM is accredited by the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) and by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Applies through TMDSAS (opens May 1; submissions from May 15; 2026 application due October 1, 2025); pre-match offers begin October 15. 'We don't use a minimum cutoff score' for GPA or MCAT, but applicants are expected to have better than a B average in prerequisites. Early Decision Program: application and secondary due August 1, MCAT and documents August 15, decisions by October 1. Approximately 230 first-year seats.
