Cost and aid

Undergraduate cost and medical-school cost are separate, and a combined seat is not automatically cheaper. These are the published figures. Confirm the current year with the program before you rely on a number.

Undergraduate years

Tuition (in-state)$8,730 per semester flat fee for full-time (12-18 credits) in NYSCAS general undergraduate programs, 2026-2027 academic year ($725 per credit part-time). NYSCAS publishes a single tuition rate; no separate in-state/out-of-state track exists.

Tuition (out-of-state)Same as in-state: $8,730 per semester flat fee, full-time, 2026-2027. NYSCAS's published tuition schedule makes no in-state/out-of-state or resident/non-resident distinction (private institution, single national rate). Page separately notes international students may qualify for a 15-30% tuition discount under specified circumstances.

Need-based aidAvailable generally to NYSCAS undergraduates, not confirmed as Honors-Track-specific. Federal Pell Grant (max $7,395 for 2026-27), Federal FSEOG ($100-$2,000/year, priority to Pell recipients), and Touro Grants (need-based, amount unspecified, for matriculated students in good standing whose tuition is not fully covered by other aid) are all published on the NYSCAS financial aid page. No page checked ties any of these specifically to Honors Track / Osteopathic Medicine pathway students.

Merit aidTouro Merit Scholarships: requires 3.4 GPA or higher plus demonstrated financial need, $500-$2,500 per academic year, applied only to direct college fees. Published as a general NYSCAS award, not stated as Honors-Track-specific.

Medical school years

Tuition$36,040 per semester / $72,080 per year DO-program tuition, plus $100/semester ($200/year) fees, 2026-2027 academic year. Per-credit rate below 9 credits: $1,290. Per-rotation charge: $7,020. Rate is identical across all three TouroCOM campuses (Harlem NY, Middletown NY, Great Falls MT).

In-state rate grantedNot applicable: TouroCOM is private and publishes one DO tuition rate ($72,080/year, 2026-2027) across Harlem NY, Middletown NY, and Great Falls MT campuses, with no in-state/out-of-state distinction.

AidTouroCOM's admissions/aid page states the total cost of attendance (tuition, fees, and cost-of-attendance budget items) may be eligible for financial aid, and that on-campus students must carry health insurance. Financial aid is limited to US citizens and permanent residents; AACOMAS fee waivers are honored for TouroCOM secondary applications for economically disadvantaged applicants. No program-specific (Honors Track / linked-student) aid or scholarship was found on the pages checked.

NYSCAS, part of Touro University, runs the same Integrated Osteopathic Medicine Honors Track as Lander College for Women, reserving a conditional, interview-gated spot at the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine for a high-school entrant. One thing to know before you read the official page: its MCAT requirement is out of date. This page gives you the getting-in bar, the current keeping-the-seat bar, and the gaps worth asking about.

A word on the stale page

The NYSCAS honors-track page still prints a pre-2015 MCAT figure, from the old scoring scale that no longer exists. The current requirement across the Touro track is an MCAT of 507, which the Lander College page states in today’s terms. We flag this rather than paper over it: the honest move, if you are relying on NYSCAS’s own page, is to confirm the current number in writing before you plan against it.

How it works

You enter the honors track from high school at NYSCAS. As with the Lander track, you must enter the professional, medical-school phase within 48 months of first matriculating as an undergraduate. Two interviews sit along the path: a dean’s interview at undergraduate admission, and a TouroCOM admission interview, scheduled no later than six months before you would start medical school, that decides the seat. A complete application to the track is due by February 1.

What gets you in

The published entrance floor is a 90 high-school average, an SAT of at least 1250 with a minimum of 600 in each section, or an ACT of 28. Those numbers plus the dean’s interview open the door. What the program is really weighing, in the essay and the interviews, is whether you know what osteopathic medicine is and want it for your own reasons, not whether you want a seat locked in early.

Keeping the seat

To reach and hold the TouroCOM seat, you must maintain an overall GPA of 3.5 and a science GPA of 3.6 in your Touro coursework, and take the MCAT after at least four semesters and score 507 or higher, the current figure the stale page has not caught up to. That is the shape of the promise: a reserved place, held on the condition that you clear a real college GPA, a real MCAT, and a medical-school interview. Getting in and keeping the seat are two separate tests with two separate numbers.

Where this leaves you

This track fits a student sure about osteopathic medicine, able to hold a 3.5 overall and a 3.6 in the sciences, and ready to earn a 507 on the MCAT inside a combined program. The reward is a reserved D.O. seat. The trade is a real continuation standard and a required exam. Given that the official page runs an outdated number, the extra task here is simple diligence: confirm the current requirements directly before you commit. Whether you are the student or the parent, the decision worth making slowly is whether osteopathic medicine is the chosen path, not merely the available one.
