Do you guys think it's okay to copy and paste my AACOMAS descriptions into my clinical experience descriptions?

Yes. Old threads all say it's ok

 

[brockhamptonfanacct]

Is anyone else's portal not showing their LORs/test scores being in, even though they've been received by AACOMAS and are in for other schools?

 

[heyhello123]

How'd you find SAT score from 2013 ? It is asked in the secondary.

How'd you find SAT score from 2013 ? It is asked in the secondary.

From last year's thread: “If you cannot access your SAT scores, you can mark the not applicable box and put in the reason why you are not entering a score. In regards to the clinical section of the KCOM secondary application, you can copy/paste from your AACOMAS application.” You don't have to.

 

[Ariscottle]

For the status in their portal, does anyone have a "completed" date for the last row "Application completed"? I only see a green check mark for that row.

So are they only giving ii now to instate applicants at the moment and then later to out of state?

 

[brockhamptonfanacct]

So are they only giving ii now to instate applicants at the moment and then later to out of state?

Maybe just in way smaller waves than other schools? I'm IS and was complete in June and have heard nothing, as one data point for you

I think they are doing both now but not sure. I'm out of state and got ii already.

No wait, I'm sorry. I just meant I got sent the secondary essays. I'm still learning all the shortcuts and everything.

You're okay, I figured that was the case II on this site typically always means interview invitation! 2' usually denotes a secondary.

[Asparaginedoc]

Hey all,

On the Section about Clinical Experience, can I list the total hours including the projected hours between the start date and end date for "Hours Completed"? (basically can I put the same amount of hours I put on the AACOMAS app?)

On this section, I have just copied and pasted the titles, descriptions, and tried to make it the same as AACOMAS.

Let me know if I can include projected hours on the secondary.

 

[Asparaginedoc]

Another question,

For the "Test Scores" section what SAT score do I put if I took it three times? (my highest was my second attempt: 1380) (My third attempt was lower 1350). Also, do we have to pay on college board to get the SAT score officially sent to ATSU Kirksville?

 

[tatake29]

SAT/ACT scores are not necessary to complete the app. If you enter a score, then put down your highest score. You can put N/A and indicate why.

[LinkingFatez]

I have 6 strong letters of recs but KCOM only wants 2. Will they still read the others?

 

[LinkingFatez]

are they all together as a letter packet/committee letter? I had 7 individual letters combined into a committee letter and haven't had any problems regardless of what a school's maximum is.

No they're individual. I called them and they say to list the science and physician letter, they will still read any additional letters you send.
