Early assurance undergraduate partnership

Apply to medical school as a college sophomore for early assurance

Interested in becoming a doctor? Want to secure your seat in medical school early though early assurance while still in college? Apply to NEOMED during your second year of undergraduate studies at one of our seven undergraduate partner schools to reserve a seat in a future class two years after accepting the Early Assurance Program offer.

Partner Schools

NEOMED offers the Early Assurance Pathway in partnership with:

• Baldwin-Wallace University
• Bowling Green State University
• Cleveland State University through the NEOMED-CSU Pathways to Practice Partnership
• Hiram College
• Kent State University
• The University of Akron
• Youngstown State University (Includes 3 year undergraduate YSU “BaccMED” pathway)

The Process

The Early Assurance Undergraduate Partnership Pathway is a two-step process to the College of Medicine at NEOMED as a first-year medicine student.

Step 1

The first step consists of an undergraduate student applying to NEOMED to attain an offer of early assurance which reserves a future seat in medical school at NEOMED. It does not constitute an offer of admission.

Step 2

The second step allows a student who has been granted early assurance to NEOMED the opportunity to apply for admission to claim their reserved seat.
