Maybe another 3 weeks. I think they try and have a 1 month turn around (roughy). But I also dont know what the holidays are going to do to the normal time frame.How long does anyone think it would take to get an ii if the secondary was confirmed as complete on 11/20?

Definitely have dinner on the Plaza and check out the Christmas lights! The best part of Kansas City this time of year.
When were you complete?.. I was complete a while ago and haven't heard back also do you mind sharing your stats?I received an II today!

I was complete officially on Monday 12/1. MCAT 28 (also a 27) and sGPA: 3.94 and cGPA: 3.86.
I'm so excited!
When are you interviewing?
Living in a pretty snowy place, I can say the vehicle is not as important as the tires. You can have a minicoop and be fine with some good tires.I've been hearing more and more people talk about "having a snow vehicle."
2002 Toyota Tacoma
2011 Scion tC
Are these "snow cars" or are my fiancé and I going to slide off the slippery slopes into the abyss in KC
Does it matter wether it's rear or front wheel driven?Living in a pretty snowy place, I can say the vehicle is not as important as the tires. You can have a minicoop and be fine with some good tires.
I mean obviously the best is all wheel, then front wheel, then in last place is rear wheel. But is it worth buying a new car over? Absolutely not... I lived in Maryland for many years where ice and hills are more common than snow. I have experienced many spin outs, have rolled a car, etc. Now I live in Wisconsin where snow is more prevalent than ice, and it is much more flat.Does it matter wether it's rear or front wheel driven?

Most models today are RWD, but you can find FWD and AWD on some models.Are most cars forward wheel drive?

Woo now it feels more real! Finally got my actual acceptance e-mail.
How long after you got that e-mail did you all receive the "additional information" needed to secure your seats for the entering class of 2015?
I have heard it is safe, not to mention the security dudes actually cruise back and forth between CT and campus a lot, especially if people are walking. You can technically have them "escort" you home, whereby they basically drive right behind you haha... At least thats what they said at the interview.So I know that the neighborhood is kinda sketchy, but I mean as far as walking across the street from say from Century Towers or a parking lot to campus, is it pretty safe? I'm talking mid-day/normal hours and not at 2AM and safe as in you don't need to worry about being approached by weirdos
But just as a btw, you are definitely best to contact Michelle sparks about living situations. I was hesitant to contact her but within like 2 hours she had literally dozens of places that looked awesome, fit what I wanted, and were definitely cheaper than CT. So you might not even have to deal with the whole walking issue.Thanks Sauceome I'm having major commitment issues, but I think I am now 97% sure I will be sending in my 1k to KCUMB!! 10 days to change my mind though
Does she deal with town homes or only apartments?But just as a btw, you are definitely best to contact Michelle sparks about living situations.

I have an idea for how you decide... Flip a coin, if its heads you go to KCUMB. If its tails then pick the coin up and flip it again until its heads. Tehe just kidding, but sort of not... Where else are you thinking about going? You can PM me if you want.
I mean she seems to sort of do it all. I am looking for a 3-4 bedroom and she found a mixture of houses, townhouses, and apartments within my price range.Does she deal with town homes or only apartments?

I spoke to Michelle Sparks very briefly and she's definitely willing to help out! (And she didn't seem limited to just apartments) in the end, I decided CT is probably the best option for me since I'll be coming to KC alone for the most part (the exception being the friends I have started to make haha!). Also, I am absolutely terrified to drive on ice/snow (that's what living in warm climates your whole life does to you) so the fact that I can safely walk between school and CT, especially in the winter, was a huge plus.
Applications to All KCUMB Programs Show Tremendous Growth
More students than ever before are applying for admission to KCUMB’s two colleges.
KCUMB’s College of Osteopathic Medicine leads all osteopathic medical schools for percentage increase in applications as compared with one year earlier. According to data provided by the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine Application Service (AACOMAS), KCUMB had received 5,287 applications as of Nov. 21, an increase of 36 percent. In fact, KCUMB’s growth in applications is more than twice the average of 17 percent for other colleges of osteopathic medicine.
Numbers for the University’s other degree programs are just as impressive. The one-year bioethics program, which recently became part of the College of Osteopathic Medicine, has received 59 applications compared with only four at the same time last year.
Combined applications to both the one- and two-year biomedical sciences tracks currently stand at 570, compared with only 34 at the same time last year.
Why all the shirts and ties....?Interesting!

I think it was research day where we had guest speakers. It's one of the few times attendance and appropriate dress was required.
They're obviously not going to post a picture of a normal day when we look like crackheads in sweatpants.
Okay the sweatpants thing was super obvious interview day haha but they did look comfy!
Judging by the fact your ambassadors were the anatomy fellows I'm guessing you interviewed around "PEP Week".
We all felt like **** coming out of MSK and then having to take 3 other exams. You're lucky we were wearing any clothing.
Interview was September 10 so perhaps! yeah after talking to some of you guys you had that "just finished a marathon stoked but burnt the **** out" look. Also saw some kids working a genetics problem that looked terrible haha
Actually, that would have been the week after Immunology and the first week of MSK.
Every block gets harder and harder. Looking back, that block doesn't seem so bad anymore. Now we have 5 finals in 2 weeks.
The MS2 guys have 70 lectures going into their final. That's just insane. I have no idea how they do it but I guess I'll find out next year.
So how many times (if ever) have you said "is this really what I want to do?" when it came to the high volume?
Wow....well good luck with that.
So is there any pathology in first year?
We have a pathology and microbiology section at the end of the spring term.
Haha...I ask myself almost daily what I'm doing....then I have a patient encounter or a PCM lab and I remember a little bit.
Oh really? So is that like an introduction to 2nd year material in that it's all organ systems but path and pharm directed?
Jeeze that's so insane but it's good you are able to remind yourself of why you are doing it.
How much patient time do you get MS1/2?
I'm actually not sure how the sections will be set up. I do think it's to intro us into 2nd year material, but other than that I have no idea.
It's just so much material, and I have a family....so the balance is hard to manage. I don't want to scare you, though, it is doable....just hard work. My brain is still trying to get into marathon gear....
We have had 3 standardized patient interviews and will have 3 more 2nd term (not real patients) plus our labs and simulations. It's not actual patient contact but it's more the stuff you do as a clinician so it reminds me that I'm not a book drone forever!!
I have no idea how you guys with families manage to balance everything out.
Have you done the Don Bosco (PCM experience) thing yet? Honestly that experience was amazing. It really reminded me why I decided to get into medicine.

I am looking forward to that Senior experience thing!
As far as family, it's all about discipline ( a lot of it) and balance as @ Eremba Don't want to fail med school, but I have decided a long time ago that I wouldn't be part of the statistics of broken families during this journey. Honestly, they keep me grounded! Nothing like a child to remind you that there is real life outside of anatomy lab! ;-)
I really don't want to be studying GI right now.
Would anyone mind posting pictures of the fitness center, please?
