Sometimes people look at the post to see what the whole story is. You shouldn't delete your post after only a couple of days because you might actually get an answer from those with experience. I wish I could answer with 100% certainty but I'm applying to OT (so not 100% sure) but so far based on my shadowing I'd say you don't necessarily have to be practical but you do have to be detail oriented because you have to write notes on the patients you see and you need to give details.
