How are you connected with Kansas? Have you contacted the KU MD program or attended any recruitment events? If you have a strong connection with Kansas (like graduating from HS in the state), you may have a very strong chance for an interview.

I grew up in Kansas. Graduated from high school in KS and went to a KS university. Technically moved to MO in 2018 after graduating from high school. I've not gone to any recruitment events, but I have had speakers from KU come talk to my pre-health orientation class while I was in my undergraduate program.

I'll definitely look into applying to my state schools. Thank you!
