Hey! So i was accepted to KCU also, but I am actually leaning towards RVU. This is because of the location. I am from California and I literally do not know anyone nor ever been to the midwest before (besides my interview). The location for KCU is in kind of a sketchy area and I just felt more at home at RVU. I think both schools are close in terms of board scores and residency match rates (correct me if im wrong though).
Has anyone been able to join the Facebook group??RVUCOM-CO Class of 2024

Where you going instead?
I haven't!
nope
I've heard Denver Tech Center and Englewood are good places to live. There's a facebook group but I don't think anyone has had any luck being added to it.
I think this is a good idea. I’m trying to figure out housing/roommate options sooner rather than later.
Parker area is also really nice. I’d try and live as close as possible to the school. I lived on Broncos Parkway and it was great.
I got into NYITCOM - Jonesboro and I'm waiting to hear from my top choice. Both are a little bit closer to home than RVU.
Have you gotten other interviews?
This is one of my concerns as well. I just interviewed and absolutely loved the school and the student culture as well as the military presence. One of my reservations is the school being owned by St. George's.
From what I was told on interview day, the only implications it has on students is the school gets things quicker for students. They said they were able to buy 10 ultrasound machines within a week or two, where as at a non-profit it would have taken months to get approved. Other than that it just means the school is taxed differently.
I did not know this.. Does this mean that very few people get scholarships and grants?
I'm not sure about this year, but I believe last year their rejection letters recommended their students to apply to St. George's instead, which makes me uneasy.
Yep. I was rejected last year. CO resident with 3.9 and 516, and they told me to apply to SGU... lol now an M1 at USMD. Kinda made me glad I was rejected
Yeah with those stats you weren’t meant to go DO. Back when I applied I got into RVU with a 500/3.8.
SameStill nothing
Right... I replied and asked if our deposit/decision is till due on the 31st.
Yeah I doubt it that’d be like a week after the A haha
me too, 1st one letts fucc____innnn goo!
, I guess it is a good problem to have!
Arizona or Mother Base?Now for the tough decision of deciding AT Still or RVU
Any tips?
Mother base
I saw there were interviews up to 02/19 when I scheduled a few weeks ago.
What are you leaning towards?Mother base
I have an interview at the mother in mid February thinking of cancelling!Now for the tough decision of deciding AT Still or RVU
Any tips?
Not 100% sure. Going to have a long conversation with my advisor next week about pros and cons of both schools. At both interviews I felt very comfortable at the school and felt as if I matched the school very well. However, both schools are very different and have different cultures. But both are tremendous options.
When they briefed us on interview day they mentioned we may be interviewing for an APS spot since around this time of year they are nearly full or are already full. But we weren't fully certain if we were interviewing for open seats or APS.
