Clinic appointment access and fairness
Original Videoath MMI-style spoken practice for the McMaster admissions-page canary. This is not a recalled or confidential McMaster question. Review the response for a clear opening position, affected people and interests, missing information, fair trade-offs, respectful communication, and a concise conclusion. Use a two-attempt loop: review one observable weakness, then record the same prompt again with that adjustment.

Admission requirements
KCOM states a minimum 2.8 cumulative and science GPA, an MCAT within three years, and U.S. citizenship or permanent-resident status. Applicants need at least 90 semester hours, including 30 at a four-year institution, plus biology, physics, general chemistry, organic chemistry with labs, English, and two evaluations. Confirm the current letter instructions on the KCOM admissions page.
Important dates
The current KCOM pages conflict. The program page lists a primary deadline of March 1, 2027, secondary March 15, 2027, and a July 12, 2027 start; an admissions FAQ lists February 1 and March 1. Treat this as a source conflict and verify the portal before relying on either date (KCOM application process).
How selection works
KCOM reviews AACOMAS, academic preparation, evaluations, and the completed secondary before inviting selected applicants to interview. The public pages do not publish a weighting formula or acceptance prediction (KCOM application process).
Interview details
Confirmed
KCOM describes three individual 30-minute interviews: basic-science faculty, a clinician, and an admissions-team member. The day also includes student interaction, an osteopathic-manipulative-medicine demonstration, and tours (KCOM DO program).
Not published
The current sources do not publish station scoring, a fixed question bank, or interviewer assignment for every applicant.
Who this program may suit
KCOM’s published process may suit applicants who can connect academic preparation with osteopathic medicine, service, communication, and a reason for studying in Kirksville. These are preparation cues, not an admission prediction (KCOM DO program).
Practice and next step
Original Videoath practice: Record a timed response to the linked general fairness prompt, review the recording for clear reasoning, empathy, and a stated trade-off, choose one weakness, adjust the response, record it again, and compare the two attempts.
