Get in CCOM without research?

Hi everyone,
I am a Junior Health Science major, and one major area I am lacking is research. At the university I go at, it is hard to find research positions since most of the students of "the higher tier majors" take those positions/professors, plus I don't feel like doing research.
So I was wondering how vital is it to have research under your belt when applying (my first choice is CCOM), in regards to comparison of other clinical& non-clinical extra curricular activites (since I know GPA and MCAT trump everything)

I had zero undergrad research experience and I got in.

Don't worry about it. The lack of research will not keep you out of any DO school.

I almost cried when I read this. This is what hope on a computer monitor looks like.

(I just went to a presentation by a med student from a high-research MD school. It made me feel like crap.)
