When were you complete?Congrats!
Thank you.
I was complete 10/8 but had a planned MCAT and was told that it would be 4-8 weeks after those scores were received. Mine were basically right at 4 weeks including the holiday break so they didn't waste much time.

Thanks you! Best feeling in the world! And yes, a serious netflix binge is in order...Can't wait for season 3 of House of Cards and Better Call Saul to come out. Those will keep me occupied for sure

Just missed a phone call from my interviewer and he left the office at 5 He pretty much didn't say anything except to call him back... they wouldn't call for an outright rejection right...? Ugh. Now I have to wait another night.

Now I have to wait another night.Currently in the St. Louis airport waiting for my Cape Air charter flight to Kirksville.. As long as I survive this 10 person plane ride, tomorrow should be great! Really looking forward to this interview, everyone here seems to have high opinions of KCOM.
You're in if they call. The rejection (at least last cycle) is a very thin envelope lol. Congrats and kudos!Just missed a phone call from my interviewer and he left the office at 5

I ended up calling them twice because I was trying to hear their decision before I put down a different deposit and they still accepted me, neurotic tendencies and all. If you want to call you should call, I'm sure they're used to nervous calls by now.

Ya they call for acceptances, send a letter for rejection/wait list, and you can also get the strange email that I got haha

2 weeks from the day you get your acceptance packet. That's what I was told yesterday by my interviewer.

I just withdrew my acceptance at this amazing institution. I hope it goes out to someone who still hasn't received an acceptance and is on the waitlist. Good luck to you all class of 2019!
Congratulations on your acceptance elsewhere!

I interviewed on 12/5 and called them 12/10 and 12/12 but my admission staff lady happened to be on vacation which was just great. She got back to me on the 12th to tell me no decision had been made and then I got the acceptance call on 12/19.

Just got accepted here! I received my acceptance call about 5 days after the interview. I can't express how impressed I was with the school, they went above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable and it was by far the most professional interview I attended. Very happy Oh and I was told you must have your contract & payment postmarked and mailed 30 days after receiving the acceptance call, but it should specifically say a date on the acceptance paperwork you're sent.

Do you mind sharing your stats?

Not at all. I took the MCAT twice first getting a 24, then 26. GPA is 3.7. I also shadowed/volunteered >200 hours. I currently am working with a D.O and graduated back in Summer 2013. Overall, I don't think my stats are necessarily super competitive but I feel like I interviewed very well and staying with a student broke the ice for me because I got some good tips and one of my interviewers already knew me from what he heard from the student I stayed with.

Hi, I'll be interviewing here on Jan. 30th. Can someone that interviewed let me know how the interviews are structured? Interview with faculty? Students? Open file? I'd love a few sentence summary. Thanks!

I had my interview last Friday. I was extremely impressed with every aspect of the school, and really hope that I gain acceptance! Now comes the most nerve-wracking part.. the wait. I'm hoping that I'm lucky like some of you and don't have to wait the 2-4 weeks to find out!

So I'm just wondering from current students here are the lap top computer requirements from ATSU's website still correct. Looks a little dated.
Windows XP or better
Office 2007 or 2010
Or do they require something newer?

Even the exams?
Yes
Yep! One of the student ambassadors explained that they have a custom software program that locks you in and doesn't allow you to open other apps during the exam.

Huh, sounds a little sketch but of course its a test. How does that work with a computer? Same program, can't access anything but the test?
I think that would be fair.

Did they email you to tell you that? Or is it on the website somewhere? The online portal doesn't give much info about status, but maybe I'm not looking in the right place?

FYI just received this...
"Just wanted to update you where we are at in our application cycle as you have an interview scheduled with KCOM. Our class is almost full for the July 2014 start but not all seats are secured by a deposit. We anticipate we will have seats to offer in the upcoming weeks so if KCOM is one of your top choices for medical school we encourage you to interview with us. We also have guaranteed seats to offer for next year's class should a seat not become available this year. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call or email....I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
I hope you will make the decision to visit campus and see what KCOM has to offer you. Please notify us if you will not be accepting our offer to interview."

I got the same email and noticed the same mistake. I would hope their class starting in July 2014 is full. I'm mostly interested in the class starting July 2015. I was actually surprised to learn that I was being considered for the class that started several months ago . I realize it's an honest mistake.
. I realize it's an honest mistake. Umm. July 2014 start? Sure hope you can still get in, being they're already ahead a semester. Hehe

Do any current students know anything about the north east rotation sites at Lancaster and Bayonne?
