Early Decision at TouroCOM
The Early Decision Program (EDP) is for highly qualified candidates who consider TouroCOM their first-choice medical school. EDP applicants receive special early consideration during our application cycle and is available on all TouroCOM campuses - Harlem, NY, Middletown, NY, and Great Falls, MT. When applying to TouroCOM’s EDP you will need to select which TouroCOM campus you would like to attend - Harlem, NY, Middletown, NY, or Great Falls, MT. You can only apply for early decision on one TouroCOM campus. There is no limit to EDP seats at each campus.
If you apply as an early decision candidate, you can only apply to TouroCOM (no other medical schools) and you are committing to attending TouroCOM if you are accepted.
If you are not accepted as part of EDP, your application will go into TouroCOM’s general admission pool. You will be notified with enough time to apply to other medical schools.
