For schools with multiple branches, do we apply to all of the branches or just one? EX: VCOM

VCOM, PCOM, Western University, and Touro University all have more than one school. Should we apply to all of them? I believe I overheard during the DO School Virtual Fair that for VCOM at least, you only need to apply to one of their schools and that one application will apply for all 3 of the VCOM schools.

Can confirm that VCOM will consider you at all three campuses with just one application, and you can rank your preference for campus. Still unsure about PCOM, Touro, A.T. Still, LECOM, or Western.

It depends on the school. VCOM, no. But Touro you will need to separately apply at all three campuses and each campus has their own set of secondaries (although the TUNCOM one is just filling out info). Same for PCOM, although they don't have supplemental applications for 2020.

Once you finish your application on AACOMAS there'll be a list of which schools you can send your application to. You can tell form there which ones are branch campuses.

There are separate applications for ATSU-SOMA and ATSU-KCOM.

LECOM you need to apply to LECOM Erie or SH and LECOM- Bradenton. LECOM-B and LECOM-E/SH are separate applications.

KCU is the same.

Nova SE was 1 application for both locations last year, but their new location was only allowed to begin accepting students when the app season was almost over.

As for your original question about applying to all of them: Treat each branch as if it were it's own school and not affiliated with the original. There are pretty big differences between some branch schools and their original location.
