So I emailed them asking about this and they said they’ll begin reviewing waitlisted applications starting mid to late May. It’s unranked, but they sort based on mcat and gpa first, and then factor in additional criteria. So ranked, but unranked in some way
I guess that gives me some hope! Thank you for this
Do people get rejected post-interview? I’ve been wondering about that for KCU. I think some schools just WL
north KC
TBD. currently some lectures are in person and all labs are in person.
North KC, river market, down town are good. Don’t live in independence. I signed my lease in early June and moved in early July
Sounds good, thanks for the info!
How long does it usually take to commute to medical school each day?
For me it takes around 10-12 minutes from North KC
Nice, thanks for the help!
Like less than 5 minutes from the river market
it's on the website
Sounds great!
KCU offers their own health insurance through Blue Cross Blue Shield. That's what I use
I use the schools health insurance, there is also dental and vision insure through the school
First year = Boards and beyond, First aid, AnKing, Costanzo Physiology
Pretty sure clerkships are just honors/pass/fail like preclinical. No high pass
Yes. I was going to submit it right away, but the last question about a letter of intent threw a wrench in that plan.
Do you not plan on writing a LOI for KCU? I already sent a LOI for a school that I am waitlisted for and was told to not send it to multiple schools.
Yeah that seems to be case with LOIs unfortunately
I did as well and I withdrew my WL spot, good luck to you guys!
they're not reviewing the waitlisted applicants until mid to late May!
The only scholarship I was offered was one of their 1 year incoming scholarships based on MCAT/GPA. (10K, 5K, etc.) There is also a service leadership scholarship that is offered to one student per campus (I believe.)
I was given 10k for first year only, but have gotten a few little ones (500-1k) here and there by applying to the external scholarships the schools emails us about every now and then.
Was listed as an optional thing when I submitted my immunization stuff. I sent them proof of my vaccines, and they didn't even update it as being done by the time they told me I was compliant. Not sure how that may change as it gets closer to classes starting, though.
They require an MMR and Varicella quantitative titer along with the original immunization record.
According to the pdf packet, page 3, the MMR and the HepB seem to require both the series dates AND the titers. The page says the varicella requires just the titer UNLESS no immunity is found, then requiring a vaccine series and follow-up titer.
Thanks!
