Definitely more than a handful of current students gave up T10/20 even with half tuition scholarships to attend Kaiser and save additional $250k.
Last year, the school projected 10k applicants. That seems like a realistic figure when there are no stats available online, free tuition, and the KP core values behind the school. Low stats folks would apply to KP in hopes of holistic review that would not apply to NYU knowing their metrics wouldn't survive the cycle. Rosy had over 15k last year. 10k at Kaiser is not a stretch of the imagination.
According to the SOM website, they planned on sending out interview invites starting July 2020, has anyone heard back?
I have heard from admissions at KPSOM that they had more than 10k applicants last year. It is not a huge overestimate.
The 10K + applicants is not an estimate, those are facts. The only facts us students have so far

oof that makes sense mb.
I agree, my classmates are amazing!
Yup there go my hopes and dreams.
we really are! 49 of the coolest people I’ve met tbh. also wanted to add that the school is super LGBTQ+ friendly. I don’t know the exact stats but a significant portion of the class is part of the queer community
My gay heart is going to be broken if I don't get in here after reading so many accepted student posts about how LGBTQ+-friendly it is.

Do you know if the data will be published on msar? I’d be interested in what the range looks like.
But ranges are not posted on MSAR, only down to 10th percentile and up to 90th percentile, unfortunately.

That’s what I meant . I think it's still better than just medians.

They hosted Webinars?
Yes, but I don't believe they were advertised, and they were very limited attendance. I was fortunate to have a friend who sent me the registration link she got from an advisor. I think there were only like 50 people per information session. Nothing discussed in mine that isn't also posted here or on their website, though.
Just wanted to let people know that the admin got student feedback on being more inclusive and transparent with the demographics. If you visit the stats page, they've updated with the percentage of nonbinary (2%) and LGBTQ (30%) students.
literally same.
my gay heart will be broken no matter what bc I know my MCAT won't let me get into KPSOM 🙁 so you aren't alone mate
My understanding is that KPSOM is similar to Mayo -- they both have high median stats, but interview/accept a large range of applicants, so I wouldn't count yourself out!
@CaliforniaAsian does your class have any teachers? I love love love their curriculum, didn’t get an interview last year and was just curious if other educators made it into the inaugural class. I talked about it a ton in my primary / secondary apps

I just realized that if 10k+ are fighting for 50 seats then God help us all...
You mean people who previously taught as a career/full-time job in K-12?

What is the acronym that they like to go by?
KPSOM is the formal acronym, or KP is the short form (would probably stick with KPSOM in your secondaries if you can)
I don’t think there were any career educators.
I just used "Kaiser," oops
I only got my secondary after my MCAT score was released, you might not get it until then
we got this y'all, from one LGBTQ+ member to another!

Does anyone know what the criteria is to receive a secondary? I received one and since the stats came out I'm really not sure if its worth submitting

they don’t screen, everyone gets one
rip still havent gotten mine. I wonder if it's due to that 124 cars subsection score
Glass? mmm not a great place to be on a earthquake.
