Hey I am going to be starting in a week there as a first year and I was a TN applicant to! Go Vols
Hey man! They place large emphasis on ECs the school really does look at the person as a whole. That being said my ECs weren't the strongest and I still got in but I guess my numbers were above their average
Haha I don't know if I'm really qualified to chance but your Gpas are better then mine were but my mcat did kinda save me pm and I can give you my exact statsChance me?
sGPA 3.56, cGPA 3.45 MCAT in November!
Pretty decent ECs, and in state
We just started classes back today so I know they're busy with us but hang in there I'm sure they are getting it done
I'm not sure that's considered Appalachian but I would say being from a rural town in Alabama or having rural experience in Alabama would definitely help if you have either of those things. There are like 28 states represented in my class granted nearly half the class is from KY but still that's pretty good out of state numbers
I am having the same issue, did you find anything out??
Cool thanks a lot
No interview yet. I think they just released their first bacth of secondaries. I'm from Oregon with no ties to the region. But since I also have rural/ underserved ECs, I went ahead and submitted it!
I don't remember exactly how they did it last year but I think you just contact the school and they take care of it. Good luck! Hope I see you all at your interview days to sell you on KYCOM.
You can always scroll back through last years thread because I don't remember exactly when the first was but I want to say third or fourth week of September. I interviewed early October so by then for sure.
Nothing yet, still waiting for my lor to be updated in portal
I am from California too, central valley--most of which is medically underserved. I hope that helps me a tad bit. After graduating from Pikeville, you are free to do residency and practice as a physician any where in the US. However if you mention your desire to return back to California in your primary or secondary app, it might hold you back from receiving an interview because moving back to California will not be fulfilling Pikeville's mission. May be you can mention your desire to practice medicine in rural areas of california.
hopefully that means less people are applyin' and we have higher probability of getting accepted
darnittt " I do understand this waiver is irrevocable." I hope I am not f****d
I checked the first box too, I was in hurry
In the first prompt I explained my interest in practicing primary care in a rural setting. I mentioned my extracurricular activities in rural settings and how this experience turned in to a passion to help underserved communities. I also mentioned what I learned while volunteering in rural hospitals and how it will help me in future as a physician.
In the first part of questions 2 I explained how kycom is a good fit for me i.e.what opportunities it will provide me to become a great primary care physician in a rural setting . explain how school's mission resonates with your own personal and academic goals. I also discussed why I am a good fit for school. what qualities I possess that make me a good fit for the school. I also talked about how school's location & surrounding area is a good fit for me. Good luck!!
PS: I received complete email this morning!
