I know people who have been accepted that were below the "screen" that was listed on the website, so I would say its not a hard cutoff
True- its not a hard cutoff. KCU is pretty holistic so I would apply even if you are below it.
I think you're supposed to apply through Rockhurst.
after some digging, i found this!
During Orientation, they will come and talk about the program and how to apply! First class typically isn't until the Spring semester. So you dont have to worry about it until classes start!
And I'm a second year at KCU on the Joplin Campus. Feel free to DM questions as well. While both of us can speak to the curriculum at KCU, Schwifty is probably more qualified to talk about the KC campus and living in KC.
Did you apply for both campuses? I applied for the KC campus because I'm from a big city and would prefer KC, but I don't know if I should put that as my reason in the explanation. Thank you!
Hey! So I accidentally submitted my application without doing the COVID-19 optional prompt, do you think that will affect my application in any way?Hi guys! Current M3 in KC, I am a bit removed from the application process now (crazy) but can do my best to answer any questions or offer advice. Good luck!
I doubt it if it's optional!

I applied KC only and this was part of the reason I put! I just said that I would feel more comfortable and I think it would be less of an adjustment on top of adjusting to med school.
I only applied to the KC campus. Part of my reason was that I was from an urban area, I had some family here, I felt I would fit in better in an urban environment, and opportunities for my spouse. If you think you’ll be more successful in the environment at the KC campus then by all means, use that as part of your explanation.
I only applied to KC campus cause I’m from a urban area and wanted to live in a city, and I put that as my reason for choosing the KC campus
Yes totally! Thank you! I'm already concerned that I'm not applying to enough schools, so when the secondaries aren't rolling in my anxiety levels skyrocket. Honestly at this point, anything will do it lol.
I didn't get a secondary from KCU until end of September/Early October, so don't get too worried if it doesn't show up immediately!
Haha. I completely understand. I couldn’t count how many breakdowns I had during the application cycle. Even after a good interview I was like, there’s no way I’ll get in. I’m just waiting for the rejection letter. I may as well make other plans for next year. Lol. You are not alone in this!
No, just give it some time
If you afford it, do put it an application I would say, otherwise the chances will definitely be zero. I hope they are willing to overlook some things this year due to COVID, but still try to get an answer from them, they are prolly swamped right now but they should give a reply soon (they have always responded to me in 2-3 days).
Hello, for the secondary question asking about what we're doing to maintain academic knowledge, do you know if it's fine if we just state that we graduated and aren't taking any classes this year if that's the case? I'm just not sure to put since I just graduated this year. I am on the waitlist for my medical scribe job that will open up when COVID gets better so maybe I can say that the medical terms and concepts that apply to the scribe job might help prepare me for medical school? Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks so much!
I don't think they are sending out secondaries until August.
