Just to clarify, do you mean class percentiles when you say percentages or just straight up individual percentages?

We receive straight up percentages (ie 86% in class A, 91% in class B, etc), upon which your class rank is based.

I was wondering, is UK offering the services of student hosts for interviewees like they did in previous years? If so, how do you find out/contact a host?
HEY EVERYBODY INTERVIEWING THIS SATURDAY!!!! (9/17)
There is HUGE football game AT UK this Saturday. It's an enormous in-state rivalry game, and even though it's a night game, count on there being very slim-pickings for parking even at 9:30AM! (There might be parking reserved for Med School people or something, but you might not want to depend on that being the case.) Lexington/UK will be extra busy so just be prepared!
I'm going to have someone drop me off and pick me up so I don't have to worry about traffic/parking. If you want to leave your car somewhere, like your hotel or a mall or something, let me know and I'll see if my ride will pick you up too!

i just had my interview today and all i have to say is DONT BE NERVOUS! the interview was sooooooooo laid back and amazing and phenomenal and fantastic and i dont even have words to explain how amazing it was.
the interview day and especially one of my interviewers overall made me fall so in love with the school, that if i get in its def my #1 choice.
just be yourself and get there on time. they're not there to trick you or traumatize you, my interview was possibly the most fulfilling conversation i've ever had.
I DONT HAVE ENOUGH GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT UK. LITERALLY LOVED IT.

Did anybody get this email?
"The Admissions Committee of the University of Kentucky College of Medicine recently reviewed your application for admission. After careful consideration, the Committee has decided to defer a final decision on your application pending further comparison with other out of state applicants."
Doesn't sound good to me

I interviewed today too. Everything BlackandGold said is absolutely true. I was leaning towards UofL having interviewed there last week, but after the tour and talking with the second year students I really want to go to UK.

9:30 they started a fairly brief overview of the medical school, talked about research, lexington in general etc
As soon as that was over all of the interviewers were brought into the room, all the interviewees introduced themselves and then the interviewers did the same.
10-ish? Began interviews. This was one thing I was really impressed with: both of my interviewers had thoroughly read my application and seemed to be genuinely impressed with some of the things I've accomplished instead of acting like I needed to impress them further. Both of my interviews lasted about 40 mins.
11:30-ish lunch was waiting when I returned from my second interview and so were some second year med students, ready to answer questions.
12-ish we started the tour, a lot of the facilities were very new and impressive and they took us all over the place. Like I said, hearing the second year students talk really made the school that much more appealing
Like everyone else has said, the interviews were very comfortable, very relaxed, and it seemed like the interviewer did as much talking as I did.

I got this message last application cycle. If you are still in school, you can fax them more recommendation letters, extra shadowing experiences, etc. That's what I did and I got accepted. Hope this helps

I got it about a week or two after my interview on October 8th. Faxed in my stuff during the first week in December (because I had to get more shadowing experience) and got my acceptance call right before school was out for Christmas (December 12ish)

This is what the school wrote, I don't know what to take from it. Either way an interview is an interview.
"Our class is typically full by late December. Applicants who interview after the class fills will be considered for the alternate list. For fullest consideration, we recommend that applications be completed well before published deadline dates."

Yeah I still feel pretty good about my chances. It saws on US NEWS if you get an interview you have a 50% chance of getting accepted. I know those stats do not take time into consideration though.

I was wondering, are there any med school students on here who would be willing to host me for my interview on November 8th? I kind of really need a place to crash for my interview.

Post interview thoughts:
Got there about 15 minutes early. In the initial meet and greet everyone seemed very friendly and the conference room was very nice. Overall it was a fantastic looking campus. My first interview was pretty strange to say the least. My interviewer half the time would say that I was going to get accepted and shouldn't have any problems and the other half of the time told me options of if I didn't get accepted such as EDP and the rural program. Second interview went smoothly with a few odd questions (built in to throw you off). One ethics type question. Other than that the rest of the campus looked beautiful and the facilites were very nice overall a great experience.

Nothing strange during my interview day either. Everything was well organized. Students and interviewers were extremely nice too.
I signed on just to see if maybe, by accident, they would post committee decisions before they actually emailed them (a girl can dream, eh?)
What it says:
Check Status
Current Application Status: Admissions Committee Review Completed
yikes. *bites nails* why can't they just tell us now!!

I was wondering, does anyone know the closest airport to Lexington I could fly into for my interview? I'm a little bit hard up on cash and I'm trying to cut cost on flying in.
Lexington has an airport but it's not widely serviced.
The Louisville and Cincinnati airports are both roughly equidistant from Lexington and will have significantly more flight options to choose from.
I had a pretty strange interview experience as well. Since I was married my two interviewers seemed more infatuatied with that aspect of ly application than anything thing esle. They kept asking about it so much I though I might just get the cellphone out and put her on speaker.
Aside from that I really liked the school.

Just to clarify, as I'm sitting the Lexington airport as I type this, depending on where you are coming from Lexington can be quite easy to fly into.
Delta fly multiple flights from here daily to Atlanta, Detroit, NYC & I think Dulles.
American flies from Chicago & Dallas as well.

Could anyone tell me at what time the interview day ends? I've booked a flight for 3:45pm at Blue Grass airport and realized that my other interviews ended at ~3pm.. is this cutting it close?

just twiddlin' our thumbs until the 15th seems like such a waste of time. the 15h can't come soon enough!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I spoke with Jodi in admissions yesterday and since the 15th is a Saturday we will not know until the following Monday, the 17th.
I'm so glad you posted this, thank you! I was going to call but you've saved everyone the trouble.
New countdown then: 12 days.
It's disappointing, but thanks for the info.

Where did you guys stay for the interview? I'm about to make a reservation at Extended Stay America Lexington - Nicholasville. Also, does anyone know of a shuttling service available in Lexington? Thanks

While Lexington does not have the greatest public transit system, it can get you to UK from almost anywhere. It might take some planning to work out exactly how you'll get there. IDK if UK hosts interviewing students, but it's always worth contacting the UKSOM office to ask, especially when there's money on the line!

yeah, Hilton seems like a great hotel overall, but I'm on a tight budget! So I'll just stick with my ~$60/night.
Alright, I'll look into that. Although I'll most likely be taking a cab on the day of, just to be sure...
Thanks for the input!

yeah you should be getting an email with a list of hosts to contact if you want. definitely what i would do, as it both cuts down on costs and gives you someone's brain to pick the night before your interview
