No secondary. But an email saying, "Your application has been sent for further review. This process can take up to 2 weeks. Once the application review is complete, you will receive additional communication from KCU-COM. If you have not heard anything from our office within 2 weeks, please email."

Did anyone else get this? I was verified and submitted in May.

If you guys are using Gmail, be sure to check your promotions folder. That's where all of the emails went for me from KCU

Received the further review email yesterday. Surprised as I am definitely above their cutoffs in terms of GPA and MCAT.

Has anyone spoken to admissions? This is bizarre.

Just talked to admissions. They just received their first AACOMAS download, so they are rolling out secondaries as we speak. She said they will notify you either way -- if you get screened out or your pass the screen.

Thanks for calling. By the way, did they mention anything about the "further review" email that some applicants received? What's that about?

Sorry, didn't ask about that. Let me know if they say anything about that email.
 
so people are getting this "further review" email before getting a secondary? or after submitting secondary?

It sounds like they were getting it before a secondary. I did not receive one but I received an email to "stay tuned" which came out a week or two ago.

I haven't received a secondary yet but I pass the minimal screens. I'm assuming over the next few days they will go out to everyone that meets the minimum criteria.

Oh okay. I got my secondary and submitted it but I just got a kind of oddly worded email instead of a normal complete email.. so I wasn't sure if that was what people were referring to or not. Sounds like probably not the same thing.

"Your application has been submitted. Please allow our admissions staff time to process your application and other materials. We will send out further communication within 5-7 business days, although every effort is made to process as soon as possible. We thank you for your patience."

Instead of a secondary I received an email that said,

"Your application has been sent for further review. This process can take up to 2 weeks. Once the application review is complete, you will receive additional communication from KCU-COM. If you have not heard anything from our office within 2 weeks, please email [email protected]."

Not sure why or what it means.

No that was different. If you sent in your secondary, I would consider this the complete email. I'm surprised about the 5-7 business days; that's pretty quick and I wouldn't be surprised if it took longer given it took them this long to send out a secondary.

Hmm, weird. Maybe they have 2 batches, kinda like AZCOM. People they send secondaries to right away, and people they're holding off on. Of course, they also sent that weird "stay tuned" email, so maybe they just have preset defaults in their email system to send to applicants they haven't reviewed yet to keep them happy.
 
Waiting for a secondary still :( Received "Learn more about KCU" email Jul 18. Nothing in spam either. ugh.....

How is Kansas City? Is housing expensive? Do most students moved away for third and fourth year? I'm a non-trad and my wife works so we would prefer to go somewhere we could stay for all for years... Thanks for any info you have!

It's good! Being from San Diego I had low expectations but this city is awesome. The weather sucks haha but at least there's a lot to do.

Housing isn't too bad cost wise, 600-1200 for 1-2 bedroom.

It's a 50/50 split right now for how many students stay and go for third year. Kcu just partnered with the HCA system so there'll be more spots here over the next few years.

The weather sucks compared to San Diego? Or is it really that bad?
 
Secondary! I'm so happy!

I was below their cGPA and sGPA requirements, but above their MCAT. They really do value your recent coursework, even for the screen. I have a 4.0 SMP GPA + in my last 2 years of undergrad coursework, I had a 3.7. Approximately a 3.8 in my last 90 hrs. Keep your head up underdawgs!

Same, but just figured it out as...my browser saved the password automatically when was creating the login. So I tried hitting login and it worked. it had created a login even though it kept spinning. all is good to go now.

This^^ Thanks for the tip!
I called them after being stuck on the loading screen for so long, and they said IT is working on it so try it later in the weekend, and if it's still there, just e-mail a screenshot to admissions Monday.
BUT, I tried logging in with my email and password I initially set, and it worked! Thanks!
