I think I have the screenshot of it somewhere in my camera roll already, but thank you! I just don’t want to put anything in my calendar until it’s been made official just in case changes are made but I’m so excited so waiting is dreadful
Wondering the same thing and white coat.. were getting close
Exactly! I tried reaching out to them as well and so disappointed that they said the class is full and they do not know when the WL movement will begin
Hope we all make it off the WL.I feel you. I wrote it all in pencil just in case things change!
Did they say it was full recently?Exactly! I tried reaching out to them as well and so disappointed that they said the class is full and they do not know when the WL movement will begin
They didn’t mention to me that the class was full, just that they didn’t know when WL would move. I really doubt the class is 100% full!Exactly! I tried reaching out to them as well and so disappointed that they said the class is full and they do not know when the WL movement will begin
They never mentioned anything about being full to me and I asked yesterday. Just said “there hasn’t been a lot of waitlist movement yet”
Current students haven't even heard back yet about the block schedule and when breaks are.
Most likely, incoming 1st years will have their white coat ceremony after the current 1st years have theirs.
They might be transitioning back on campus which could delay things. None of the people I know on the WL have moved today either. I’m starting to think heavy movement will happen in early July.
Congrats! So happy to know movement is happening!
Congratulations!!! Thanks for letting us know!
Do they have a return date for you guys for classes?
congrats! Do you mind sharing your stats??
July 26
I’m assuming yes cause it’s a combination of online and in person. Wish we had a schedule 😅
Off topic but If it is half online and half in person, do you know if we get fed during the in person part at least? Not the biggest fan of cooking and heard orientation usually has food.
LMAO this had me cracking up😂 Was thinking the same thing hahaha. Current students might know.. I hope so
I have been known to be blunt when it comes to food haha 😅.
Yes. The school has required a lot from the students especially this past year where students couldn't see their families if they their family lived outside the 4 surrounding states (MO, KS, AR, OK). I get that your vacation starts in July and you want to spend the rest of that time with your family but medical school and every year after that will be requiring a lot from you that will require you missing time with your friends and family.
Couldn't agree more. You will find that medical school is a never-ending stream of harsh decisions that will undoubtedly take a heavy toll on your personal life in one way or another.
So I had signed up for the skype chat session for accepted or interviewing students last week. And when I asked about the WL movement, they said that the class is currently full but as people leave, WLed candidates maybe offered a spot. But said, they won’t not know when or how many spots they will be offering.
Keep in mind that some med schools (not certain this includes KCU) send out more acceptances than spots available. So even if some people here on SDN notify that they're withdrawing that may not necessarily equal a waitlisted applicant being called up
Let’s stay positive and not spread any misinformation/info we don’t know. It’s a tough spot being on the WL and comments like these send people in a frenzy. Unless we know 100% that the waitlist will not move- let’s not say this. And we do know for certain it’s not game over, as admissions has told many people that waitlist movement isnt over for the summer.
Those comments are people speculating and not from admissions. Be proactive and plan for your future, but please keep some faith and don’t completely base your plan off of some comments on sdn. You’ve got this!
I think it would be impossible for them to know. The way I see it is the March 1st or whatever (can't remember date) deadline for the second deposit payment was when they'd have their first group of spots that would open up, but then they may have filled those with late interviewers or just let those spots accommodate their initial overfilling. Then the deadline for committing to one school, May 15th or whatever it is, would be when their second group of spots would open up and they'd fill with waitlist spots once they've had enough people drop from the assumed initial overfilling.
You’re right, I’m letting the anxiety get to me. Have to focus on what’s ahead and on what I can actually control. I appreciate the reality check!
It's all good. I just see these types of posts a lot on many school pages, and I don't think the process is as mysterious as people seem to give it credit for, especially at this stage in the game. I would assume spots will continue to open up until the start date. I would guess it won't be a lot, but it'd be impossible to know. What I don't have any clue about is how positively or negatively impactful it would be to inquire about it. I would imagine some admissions offices would just be annoyed at people questioning them, while others might see it as a stronger desire to be at their program. I really have no idea. So I wouldn't want to dissuade you from using your own judgment on what's best for your cycle. I just wanted to shed some light on a question that I have seen a lot. Either way, I sincerely wish you luck. I know how anxiety inducing and stressful this process can be.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Happy drinkinghey yall kinda buzzed right now but wanted to say I got off the waitlist and accepted to the Joplin campus.
