Like I said, if you like bball, there are plenty of opportunities...outside of the regular season games, there is a pre-season/T-giving tourney, the Big 12 Tourney, and the NAIA tournament, as well as a tournament for a D-2 league in the area.

College bball dominates this area.

Sweet!! I have been bored for awhile since being accepted so this will add a little excitement in my life. Maybe the rest of us should get ours the end of this week, early next week? Did they give us our email accounts yet?

Long time no post in the KCUMB thread spice. Good to see you back again. Have you heard anything from the admin about those shirts?

I live in KC. So the packets were probably mailed yesterday. Everbody should get them by some time next week.
I have only had time to skim the packet. I didn't see anything about email accounts. Hopefully we'll get something soon.
I'm getting really excited. I drive by our new school everyday to and from work/school. I can't wait until I can pull into the parking lot and head to class. :D

I am not quite sure, as Ms. Jones mentioned something about an auditorium and a hotel downtown. She gave me the impression that the ceremony would be at one location and then maybe a reception at a hotel downtown afterwards? Sorry, she was not very specific - however, we should receive more information regarding the event in June. Hope I was a little bit helpful.:confused:

Yeah, the auditorium is connected to the hotel. It's really nice and is well known because a president used to stay there a lot. I can't remember which one though.

The KCUMB auditorium is connected to a hotel? Sorry if I'm completely lost there...just curious about the WCC if thats what you are talking about.

lol No, the auditorium where they usually have it is connected to a hotel. So once the WCC is over, you just go directly to the hotel for the reception.

We get shirts? Nice...I love free stuff! :)

Hey, Braden, haven't seen you around in awhile. :)

Alas, we aren't getting free t-shirts, to my knowledge. We were tossing an idea around about designing and making a t-shirt that has a logo of the school on the front and the words, "KC Here We KCUMB -- Class of 2011," on the back. Since we were intending to use our school's logo on the t-shirt, we needed to get permission from the school. I emailed the administration about it some time ago. I received a positive initial response from them about it and that they were going to look into it and get back to us. I haven't heard anything else since that time. So, I guess we'll see.

Thanks for clearing it up, I knew I was off somewhere. :) The new auditorium being constructed looks incredible by the way...

In case you all haven't seen it, Royals pitcher Zach Grienke is representing KC well by throwing fastballs into opponents faces today. Anyone interested in oral surgery? haha

I recieved my financial aid packet today as well. For those wondering looks like it will be $40,220 for tuition and fees, and $16,038 for living expenses. I think KCUMB forgot to give me a full ride scholarship. ;)
 
I got my Financial Aid Packet in the mail today and have already filled it out and sent it off. It is just a simple little questionaire nothing way complicated. We have just three months until the wait ends so hope you are all ready.

:beat: I love this little graphic!!

Wow Jshep, Im a little worried about you. Its one thing to use the "beating a dead horse" graphic when appropriate, but just to post it b/c you "really like" it? Thats a little creepy and morbid (lol) :laugh:

From my brief glance of the paper work, it seems like we are basically picking which lender we want and giving them some more financial info? I guess this packet really isn't our award letter. That will come after we send all of this info back to KCUMB.
 
I think I saw the match list posted on this forum, but this list is better organized and more clearly shows what specialties and where people got into.

So, if you're up to the challenge, this is the suggestion my brother gave me: He said that if you have the COMLEX books, read the section that you're covering in classes. So, by going along, and doing the practice questions it helps you on the school tests and later on the COMLEX since you're used to how the questions are presented, etc.

Well, according to KCUMB's packet, the COA if you are an off-campus student is $56,258. I think the maximum you can borrow from the federal Stafford program is $40,500. The formula they gave was COA (cost of attendence) minus EFC (expected family contribution, determined by FAFSA) and outside resources (like parents). Thus, if, for example, my EFC was $2000 and my parents were willing to give me $7000, my need-based aid would be $47,258. If I opted to receive the maximum aid available and to getting a GradPlus loan (or some other type of loan), then theoretically, my aid package would be $40,500 from Stafford loans, $8758 in GradPlus loans (or other private loan), and $7000 from my parents, for a total of $56,258.

I forgot which interview it was, but one of them the financial aid lady answered this question for me. I told her that my EFC was $3000 and I wondered if that meant I would have to put $3000 cash towards my tuition. She said no and that the EFC number is just used as a guideline. So unless your EFC is over the cost of tuition+ living, you are fine. She said that I would be able to get all the loans I would need to cover all the costs.
 
One more thing, I believe the EFC is used as a basis for need based scholarships/grants.
 
I'm curious about this: If I were to apply for the maximum loan amount, i.e., all the federal Stafford loans and the Grad Plus loan, and my resultant award letter listed funds awarded from all three loans, would I be able to decline the Grad Plus loan and accept the Staffords? Anybody know?

If you don't need the Grad Plus then I don't see why you would need. Lets say that you would need $7000 from the Grad+ to cover the rest of your expenses. However if you have money saved/or your parents can help out, then you don't need the Grad Plus.

Cool. I don't think I will need it, but didn't want to exclude it yet until after I received my award letter, just in case it was necessary. If it turns out I will need it, I'll accept the award, otherwise, I'm glad I don't HAVE to take out the loan if I don't want to. :thumbup:
 
Where did you get your EFC numbers? Did you get it from FASFA application that we had to fill out? I'm confused b/c my EFC says 00670 C...what does that mean? :confused:

My EFC appeared on the upper right hand corner of my SAR (the report they give you to review after your FAFSA has been processed), and it was identified as such. It didn't have any letters in it.
 
If you guys don't know yet, I believe orientation is 8/6, the WCC is 8/9, and 8/13 marks the first day of classes.

See you guys there!

Yeah, it's all week. There's a community service day and a Family Day where we all have a big "picnic" at Royals stadium and watch a game. I don't know what else they have planned but apparently they give you breakfast and lunch all week. Woohoo! :)

:thumbup: Now that is some good news. I love free food.
 
With the recent financial aid info we got in the mail, did anyone else get selected for verification by the Federal Student Aid program?

If anyone filled out the section where we had to list three relatives/close friends at different addresses, did anyone include their parents even if that is your permanent address?
 
yup i put my mom down as one of them.

Well, it said relatives or close friends with a different address...I live with my dad so I just put my mom's address. But on local and permanent address, I put the same one on each since *technically* I don't have my apartment yet. I know which one I'll have, but I haven't signed the lease. I just hope that doesn't cause any trouble...
 
Hello and welcome Class of 2011! I am a 1st year in the class of 2010. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I will try to help if at all possible. I'm in the DO/MBA program, so also feel free to ask questions about that as well. This week and next week are finals week, so don't worry if it takes me awhile to respond. Congrats on getting in! :thumbup:

Hmm... Yeah, I did something similar. I don't have a local address yet, so I actually put, "N/A" for the local address section and listed my permanent address only in the corresponding section, since that's where I'm currently living. I also hope that everything goes through okay, without a hitch.
 
Here's heads up. I got another packet from KCUMB today. It includes the quarterly journal, a letter from Phil Byrne, and a checklist of things that they have not recieved from me yet. The letter says we will be getting a matriculation packet in a couple weeks. Enjoy!

Hey if anyone is looking for a roommate at CT for KCUMB Class of 2011 let me know. I know we will be getting more info about roommates in our matriculation packet which should be out in late May but I would not mind getting a jump on things. Thanks :)

I spoke to Diana in the Financial Aid department today and she said it was not a problem to leave the local address blank. I am closing on my condo in May, but did not want to put the address down until I knew it was mine. ;)

I cannot believe we are roughly 3 months away from starting medical school!!! I am so EXCITED!! :) And I CANNOT wait to MEET EVERYBODY!
