AACOMAS is available now for those of you
applying to DO schools for entry into the class for 2009. (everyone
should be hedging their bets by applying to both MD and DO programs!) In
order for us to access the application data (status of your application, MCAT
scores, acceptances and wait-list status) we need you to be sure that you check
the access to application data box for health professions advisor. Particularly
for those of you who will apply in the fall this information will be required
as part of your Committee letter readiness.

Subject: [HLTHPROF] AACOMAS 2009
is open for applicants
Colleagues
I am pleased to announce that the AACOMAS application cycle
for the 2009 entering class opened yesterday, May 1. We opened quietly
because we have redeveloped the application (we hope making it more
applicant-friendly and to provide better reporting on our side) and wanted to
have a quiet “soft-launch” before going completely public.
After about 28 hours, we have almost 700 applications
registered and all is well so I’m doing the formal announcement and
asking that you all let your students know --
“AACOMAS 2009 is open for applications!”
The www address is http://aacomas.aacom.org
And remember to encourage your students to check the box
allowing access to application date for the health professions advisor.
That indication is necessary for the Advisor Information Portal to work for you
all.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Thanks.
tom
