Hey guys,
I am in the process of doing my application for osteopathic schools. However, I have some questions. Where can I put a minor that I have in school? Is that considered a second major? Also, are you just listing or giving a description of your awards, activites, etc? Thanks

1. No, you can't put a minor as a major.

2. You should describe and not just list your activities.
 
How do I express to the schools that I have a minor? Also, I took 37 college credits in High School but there is no way to tell them that the courses were taken during my senior year? How would I go about doing this?

Not for nothing but the AMCAS is much more clear and better. I do not like the AACOMAS at all. THanks tho 🙂

If the courses in high school were taken concurrently at a community college, then list them under that college. It is necessary to tell them that they were taken in HS.

If the courses for not taken for credit in a college, then they cannot be listed, as they do not count.
