Clinical hours:
I'm a little confused with reporting hours "consistent with AMCAS"

If it's an activity which I have accrued more hours on in between my primary and II, should I not add these hours as completed?

I included hours accrued between primary submission and secondary submission, but mine were consistent with the rate (hours per week) from my primary

I'm pretty sure they just use it to make sure people meet their benchmarks for observation, clinical, and service so I wouldn't worry about it as long as you've met those with what you put

I had 100 shadowing and 500 clinical (more projected on amcas w/ full time work) so i think it's fine.

Low stress, very well organized, and very friendly staff and interviewers. They have the tech side of things down pat and there were no snags moving between stations.

I can’t share the exact questions obviously but they were all very fair and there were no “gotcha” type questions. It seemed designed to actually do what they say they are trying to do, which is get to know you. The students we talked to all seemed very happy and relaxed. Great experience overall.

Would you say the question types were more ethical/scenario types, traditional interview questions, or a mix of both?
