I also received my secondary and have a question about the recommendation letters section. It's saying they require both a committee letter and a physician letter as two separate entries. I submitted a physician letter to my committee and the physician letter is included in full within that already submitted committee letter. Does this mean I need to ask that physician to submit the letter separately to AACOMAS and have it duplicated? Is anyone else in a similar situation?

Same... mine is also in the committee letter and it doesn't seem to give a space to explain... ugh.

For the part where it asks for relatives that are allopathic physicians, should I include those that are physicians in different countries?

Should we list the hours for our clinical activities that we submitted AACOMAS with or the hours we have at the current moment when we submit the secondary? I have accumulated hours since submission of my app back in early May

They want our letters of rec to have our AACOMAS ID...I was not aware that we were supposed to do that. Am I supposed to reach out and have all my letter writers fix it?

Good point. I will probably put the hours that I have in AACOMAS since I marked the activities as current. Thanks

You can mark the not applicable box at the bottom and give a reason (can't find it, don't know my score, etc).

Personally, my university told us to title the health packet as being from our director of the prehealth office- you should check if your university has a similar policy.
 
Did you all use the same descriptions for clinical experiences as AACOMAS or changed it a little?

It almost looks like the boxes don't have maximum word counts, so I might use the sort of beefed-up versions from AMCAS, but I'm still not too sure what they're looking for whether they want the same thing or something different.

Thats exactly what I did. I even included my most meaningful experience story for them.

In previous year threads, someone contacted admissions office and they said you can copy and paste from AACOMAS.

I reached out to them and asked if I needed my writer's to resubmit with my AACOMAS ID or the letters without the ID would be fine. They is what they replied back with.

"It is fine......we will get them matched to your application if they come separately from your AACOMAS application."

Hope this helps with your question.

"We are happy to inform you that your application for admission to A.T. Still University-Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine is now complete. Your admissions file is ready for review and you will be notified when a decision has been made regarding your application. "

Going to be an M1 at the school this year. Feel free to shoot me any questions you guys have regarding the school. Good luck with the cycle!
 
When it is marked complete for "Application Completed," does it have a checkmark next under the status column AND a date under completed the notes column for y'all? Mine just has a checkmark, but no date stating when it was completed.

Hey guys quick q! Do you just have to submit a secondary to one location and it asks you to pick a preference? Or you have to submit to both locations and tailor your secondaries to each

From previous threads it looks like uber is pretty available so you may not need to rent a car if that helps.
Personally I would like to attend at least one of my places in person. Could not afford all of them though.
