Current 4th year student. Feel free to reply or DM me with questions if you have any. I definitely won't be as helpful with admission or 1st year things because I'm sure some of that has changed but happy to help in any way I can!
When you get accepted they email you access to a site that has a powerpoint about every CHC detailing every last thing you would want to know about their center, physicians, rotations and life in that city.
A good way to get more first-hand information would be to contact the Admissions department and ask if you could be contacted by students that are currently at the CHCs you are considering. Each site has student ambassadors and we're usually happy to reach out to answer questions.
I dont know a whole lot of details about KCOM...SOMA is pretty unique with the way our curriculum is set up and it think KCOM is more traditional. They don't do the CHC thing and such. But it's a super strong program regardless and if it's close to where you live and you get accepted then I would strongly consider going! If you get accepted to both SOMA and KCOM then I would suggest deciding based off the programs they offer and the vibes you got at each school. Fitting into their culture and mission is very important to your happiness in medical school.
In addition to previous comments, unless you are actually IN this situation, I wouldn't worry about it right now. Interview at both if you can, you may only get into one or the other. Also consider CHC locations as you will be spending 3 of your 4 years at that site.
+2! My first acceptance. I’m beyond excited! Good luck to everyone else
I was looking for more Texas people! I only ran into one.
It would be pretty comical. Mine was a dudette though.
There were a lot of midwesterners. I did manage to figure out a couple SDNers though lol.
+3 AAAAAAAAAH!!!!! So Excited!!!
That feeling of getting the first acceptance is unreal.... if no one has said this to you yet: Congrats, you're going to be a Doctor!
Thank you!
Yup, this Friday!
I haven't heard yet. They must not be sending them all out together.
I am dying right now seeing that other people have heard back and I haven't yet... I'm tempted to call them and find out. Haha. Would that be in poor taste?
Yeah. I figured. I'm just really anxious

Lecture is not mandatory. There are some classes that you are required to attend that are more practical in nature (OMT, medical skills, etc). In general, expect to be at school at least 2 days a week.
I havent gotten the CHC info. yet, but I was told that it would require the deposit before you can rank your preferred CHC's
