does kcom screen applications before sending secondaries?

Yes, and I think you must meet the minimum requirements which most applicants do.

Well not sure how they screen though. I got secondary from KCOM, they say that I meet the minimum requirements. But I took August MCAT and haven't got scores yet. So I think they just scan academic requirements !!

I'm not so sure. I received an email from KCOM only two days after AACOMAS confirmed my application as "mailed", so I can't see how the school had time to receive it. The email said that AACOM told them I was applying, and invited me to login to their application through kcom.edu, create an account, and get a jump on the secondary. The fine print specifically mentioned that if I submitted my secondary and they then learned I didn't meet the minimum 2.5 GPA (which I do) they would refund my secondary fee. I don't think they scanned anything about me, just sent me the secondary info.

Actually I never thought that they have online application. I got secondary in mail and I have to fill it out and then mail back. They also have lots of post card you have to put your address in and send with application.

The online application is $10 cheaper, too.

I'm pretty sure it's all done electronically, just like your MCAT scores are electronically sent to AACOMAS.

I was told that it is send electronicaly at the time your e-profile is available.
Than by mail the school will get the rest of the details. Bio/actual list of courses etc... That is why you got a suppl so fast. Remember supplements are automatic to all the people who meet the minim req. Except a few schools. I think VCOM was one of the exceptions.

Could anyone please provide me link for secondary ? I never got email from them. Atleast I can save $10 by using online application. And its easier.
