Good luck to all of those that interviewed yesterday or are interviewing today. I had a great time at KYCOM. Can't wait to hear back.

Thanks, all! I was complete mid-Feb.
Hey, congrats! Did you receive a phone call!!?
Lol I missed the call and called back. It was a really kind and traditional gesture. Definitely shows KYCOM's interest in its students. Have you heard anything?
Congrats!! I can't believe they're getting back to us already! Did the Dean call you!???
Has anyone that was accepted from the March dates received their letter yet?
Go UK! Was in Lexington on the weekend I interviewed and Kentucky was playing their Round of 32 game that weekend. Since no local teams (CA) made it this far, I'm proud that two KY teams are in the Final Four!
I will be applying to KYCOM as soon as the cycle opens this June. I am OOS with a 3.3 GPA and low 20s on the MCAT. I have tons of experience (shadowing, volunteering, community service, bench and clinical research). For those of you accepted, could you possibly shed some light into what you believe made you stand out on your application to KYCOM. I do wish to practice rural medicine, and understand that this is a point to make clear in my essay. However, any other advice would be greatly appreciated. Any others in a similar situation that have gained acceptance?
Thanks!
I was an identical applicant to you. Great ECs and LORs, a 3.4 cGPA and a 21 MCAT. I'm OOS (Ohio) and want to do rural. I had one interview (LMU) and was waitlisted. Take it from me, you need to retake your MCAT and really try and get above a 24. No matter how good your ECs may be, schools want to see a good MCAT because they typically are a good predictor of board scores. I'm not saying you won't get in, but you are definitely making hard for yourself.
What Facebook page are you referring to? I am trying to look for a Class of 2016 page to start meeting my classmates for this fall!Thanks so much for this info, although I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight given this anticipation. Do you have any idea as to how many more acceptances they will offer?
FINALLY the match list was posted on some other thread:

Someone can add it to the facebook group as well if they were wondering.
I'm more concerned with the rate of people passing step 1 boards on first try as most schools publish this fact on the website but there's a lot of rumors on SDN and I don't know what to believe.
and the KYCOM vs WVSOM thread may answer your question..
Yup not sure what to think anymore. Sick feeling in my stomach
Charlie Hustle, since you're about to finish your first year, knowing what you know now, what would you do differently before you began your first year?
What has been your toughest classes so far?
How many hours do you study a day?
Are there any research opportunities?
You said that you eat dinner with your wife. What is it like to be a married medical student? What does your wife do? Do you feel like you are able to spend an adequate amount of time with your wife? I'm really worried that I'm going to move my wife away from her family and friend, and right now she doesn't even have a job, and then be so busy that I won't be around to spend time with her.
Any advice?
Charlie Hustle:
First of all, thank you for shedding some light onto KYCOM. There is a lot of negative reviews flying around SDN and it is quite nice to see a real review from an actual student.
I am a junior applying this summer to KYCOM, UK, and Louisville mainly. My questions are as follows:
1) Do you feel isolated socially with such a small class size at KYCOM?
2) If one is not "sure" they are going to specialize in primary care is it best to not apply? (I have no idea what I want to do honestly; I could see myself primary care however)
3) Are the students working together or is it a competitive environment? What is the overall "feel" of class rankings, etc?
4) Is there a sweet gym at KYCOM? I lift 4x a week at Murray State U (KY) and this is actually a serious consideration.
5) Do you feel the pressure at KYCOM is less or about equal to other schools (allopathic or osteo)?
Thanks
