christopher,
thank you for applying to a.t. Still university/kirksville college of osteopathic medicine. Your application has been received and will be processed by our staff.
All I know is, if I get an interview, jagger's gotta take me out the bars so I can sample the social atmosphere.

Anyone know the earliest they will start deciding on interviews? Anyone know when the earliest interviews take place? I just submitted my secondary Friday.
Definetly excited about this school. My DO LOR is from an alum and he had nothing but great things to say about the school and surrounding areas.
Wow! an LOR from and alumn? Thats gonna help a ton
for those getting secondaries, when were your primaries accepted/released?
AACOMAS Submitted 6/1
Released 6/6
Hope this helps.
I sure hope so, he had nothing but great things to say about the school. I am in the same type of situation he was in as far as having a wife and kids etc so I think I've kept my fingers crossed ever since my app was released lol.
Submitted 4/11
Verified 4/17
Released 4/22
Am I missing something? how did you submit in April, aren't we not allowed to submit until June 1st, and we can't get verified until after we've submitted?
Oh wow, sorry...was watching the World Cup while typing. Sorry! It's fixed now
Hey folks! Good luck with your application! I am just about to move myself over to K-Vegas for MS1. I am always happy to chat it up or relay some experience from the application and (soon) the transition to medical school. PM me anytime!
The application season was kind to me, and I was lucky enough to have multiple acceptances. Prior to interviewing I ranked KCOM rather low on my wish list simply because of the location. A**crack nowhere as my roommate colorfully put it. I grew up in cities and thought I wanted to study medicine in the city as well. Despite the low personal ranking I girded my loins and forked over the money to interview (flying to Kirksville from Seattle is not cheap). KCOM blew me away. Kirksville is friendly, the school is phenomenal, the resources on campus are great, the facilities are high tech but not overwhelmingly so, and the staff all seem to be passionate about being educators. I also got into AZCOM, CCOM, PNWU, and NSUCOM none of which clicked quite like ATSU. I wish you all the best of luck this year!
Is anyone showing their letters received by ATSU/KCOM?
Questions about my letters of rec~
How are you all sending your LOR's to the school? Through virutal eval?
Thanks!
I sent all of my letters through virtual evals. the only school that hasn't accepted it is michigan and i am withdrawing from there
Is there a way to pull up virutal evals? I know my school uploaded all 4 LOR's to the site, does that mean the schools will recieve all 4 LOR's?
Hey guys I'm having a hard time approaching the following question:
What specific experience/exposure have you had with osteopathic medicine? How has this influenced your decision to become an osteopathic physician?
Basically the only real difference between DO and MD is OMM; and I hardly have any "experience/exposure" to OMM. I did consult with a DO internist for about an hour, who also wrote a LOR for me. But we didn't talk about OMM, much less get to witness anything. I also shadowed a DO pathologist, but she might as well have been a MD.
Aside from that I did read a book about the history of OM to educate myself about the development of the science. This is problematic for me. Should I immediately try to find a DO who performs OMM to shadow for a while and then come back to this prompt? For you matriculates, did you guys all have first-hand experience with OMM?

Yay! just got a secondary today!!! KCOM is really fast cuz my application just got verified yesterday
When did you submit?
I never turned one in. I just sent in my letters through Interfolio and all was well.Hey guys. I have a quick question. Is the evaluation form required? I'm a little bit confused. First it states something like the form is recommended, but not required. And then when I downloaded the form, it says "This form must accompany any packet or letters submitted" or something like that..What does it mean? There is no way for me to go back to my professor and fill out the form for me. He/she is probably on vacation. I don't want to wait until September plus I don't even know if he/she is going to teach next term. I use interfolio for my letters and all my letters are in already. I'm so confused.
And again, there is nowhere on the form for the signature of the letter writer. How are they going to know who finished the form? Please help.

Only 4 spots for clinical experiences... I find this odd, what if we have more?
pick the most important/significant, they will look at your primary as well. Make sure they are true clinical experience with patient contact too. I've seen alot of people saying they are listing hospital clerical work as clinical experience, no patient contact = no clinical experience.

I was a clerk in the Emergency Room, and believe me I had plenty of patient contact. As LizzyM the adcom who posts on the allopathic forum says, "it counts as clinical experience if you can smell the patients"
Smell the patients means you were close enough to smell them, not in the same area as them. I more meant people whose only interaction with patients was saying hello in passing.
