clinical experiences like research? what else is there if not volunteering or shadowing?

I only used experiences where I was directly involved with a patient, either counseling or performing/assisting in procedures.
why can't medical research done in a hospital setting be a clinical experience?
the research DID involve direct interaction with the patients.
I wasn't trying to be snarky in my first response, though it does read that way looking at it now. Sorry about that. I said research wasn't clinical because for most premeds it isn't.
You should probably call the school to ask about your specific scenario, since the application says don't repeat research, but asks to list all clinical activities.
Would you classify it as research or clinical? What did you do? If the patient contact was minimal then I probably wouldn't put it, but if it's more 50/50 then I would.

hey no problem, happens to us all 🙂
hmm alright i will do that soon. i guess more research than clinical, even though it was clinical research lol. i'd say more 30/70 (70 being research)
thanks for the info!
I just got the confirmation number today. I submitted my application on July 11th.
do u guys think its too late to add this school?
(i'm already verified)

Didn't see an answer to this yet. I called admissions, they said it's fine to submit more letters. She didn't tell me if there was a maximum but I'm sure a few extra (1-2, maybe even 3) would be ok. She did say extra letters, plural, are ok.
I assume this is ok for SOMA as well, since the number they give you to ask questions is the same.
No, it's only July... it is really early to apply.
Their deadline is like February of next year.
:O I checked out your stats on MDapplicants, please don't apply here and take my spot from me lol!!
You can probably try Harvard lol
YES absolutely

i just added thsi school... and have already sent my LORs to kcom (for atsu-soma)...does anyone know if i need to send another pair of LORs in?
So I just got done with my secondary and I want to submit it but I dont remember my SAT scores. Should I really wait till Monday to make a call and find out or just submit early without the scores. Please help!!!!
I didn't even take the SAT. I just said in the box underneath that I don't remember by ACT score.
Well I'd like to stay in Arizona if possible. KCOM had rotations here, that's part of why I am applying here. My husband is a KCOM grad, so that's another.
I have no interest in research or Harvard, sorry to say...
anyone hearing anything?
Congrats. I submitted my primary first day it was allowed, and submitted the secondary the day I got it, so I would think I should hear pretty soon, too. Hopefully it's positive 😱
Just saw your MDapps profile- you will have NO trouble getting in almost anywhere you apply. Best of luck to you! 👍
congrats. crossing my fingers! they must be trickling out as this thread isn't blowing up like the rest of them.

Good luck on your interviews! They were very organized and conversational. I'm about to start here in a week 😱
Crossing my fingers. Hopefully I hear something today.
I flew into the Kirksville airport (have to use a small 8-seater prop plane) and took a cab to the Holiday Inn Express in town (discount for interviewing students) and then again to and from the interview. The airline is small so they only fly out 3 or 4 times a day, and the last departure when I interviewed was before the interview day was over, so I had to stay an extra night and leave the next morning. However, KCOM allowed interviewers to skip a few tours to leave early and catch a flight. You can also fly into Kansas City or St Louis and rent a car to drive over to Kirksville, but it's a long drive... Also, they have the option of applying to stay with a current student for the night for free instead of a hotel if you want.

Haha. I hope you are right. Btw, congrats on your interviews.
How long did it take everyone for their secondary status to change from "Application in Process" to "Complete"? My secondary was submitted on August 5 and the status is "application in process" for Evaluation I, Evaluation II, and my MCAT.
