As in snail mail? They sent you a physical letter?Lmao I got my rejection through the mail today
Yes, very strange. I didn't get an email or anythingAs in snail mail? They sent you a physical letter?
Yay! Got a teeny tiny scholarship. RIP OOS students
Like 3 hours ago! ThanksWhen did you get the email? Congrats!
Does anyone know what our schedules will look like for the first semester?? Just curious.
Does anyone know if UK accepts updated transcripts? I have an interview coming up and would like them to have my fall grades on file, if they're accepted.
Thank you so much!They do. Send your unofficial transcript to their admission office: [email protected]. Best of luck to you!
Hello! Congratulations whoever got accepted to UKMED. Good luck to anyone who got waitlisted or rejected! I have a question. I have just started studying for MCAT(I'm a junior). My goal is to get at least 506 and above.
I have a part-time job(20hrs a week), I have a research, and I will take 16 credit hours this spring.
So, I was thinking to take MCAT on May 28th(use the summer vacation((full one month)) to study for MCAT) , get the result on June 28th, submit my MCAT score on AAMC(submit the primary without MCAT score first on May). Would it significantly lower my chance to get an interview date on September?
Also, is 506 or 508 a bad score?
My current GPA is 3.9. I work part-time at a hospital (thousands of clinical experience hours). I have one ongoing research project. No volunteer experience unfortunately.
OH, congrats! When did you submit your complete primary application? I am thinking to submit the primary a month later(the last week of June, 2021) because that's when I will get my MCAT score back.I am currently accepted to UKCOM with a 505 MCAT! I would try to get at least some volunteer work done between now and June though

So, it's completely fine not to submit the primary right on the day it opens on May 28th. Thank god. Do you remember the interview questions? I see some people had two interviews.My primary wasn’t submitted until August because I was waiting to hear back about FAP! Got my II in September and interviewed October 3rd!

What are some interview questions? Why do you want to be a doctor? Why do you want to attend this school?
Are there questions based on your extracurricular activities on the primary application?
Are there questions based on your secondary application?
Are there questions that make you pause and think?
How was the environment during the interview? Was an interviewer nice?
How long was an interview?
For those that have been accepted either at this school or another, have you gotten the Certiphi background check email yet?
That's weird. I haven't received mine yet for some reason.I received mine this morning. It took all of 5-10 minutes to complete.

Wonder why some people have gotten it and other have not. I checked my spam folder also but still nothing.+1 haven’t received it yet
Just got it as well. Guess they come out in waves!Just got the Certiphi request
Multiple Choice!!!Can Any current student comment on if anatomy practical lab Exam is still fill in the blank? or is it multiple choice?
Thank you all!
Wow. For mine in grad school we got a blank piece of paper and had to fill in the entire exam. MC sounds great 🥵Multiple Choice!!
Yeah, we dissected cadavers in undergrad and all of our practicals were fill-in. this sounds fantastic, but kind of a little worrisome😂😅Wow. For mine in grad school we got a blank piece of paper and had to fill in the entire exam. MC sounds great 🥵
They are looking to just get to know you and may ask "what would you do in this situation..." type of question. It really was low stress. 2 different interviewers for about 30 min each.Would anybody be willing to share with me what their interview was like/what kinds of questions they asked?
One of mine was more conversational, and the other one was more situation based. For the conversational one, be prepared for why medicine, why UK, why this campus if you selected a branch. They’ll also ask questions about yourself, one interviewer told me that one of my writers described me as a certain way and asked me why I thought they would describe me as such. For the situational aspect be prepared to answer questions about rural medicine. Definitely check out the interview feedback page for UK, it helped me a lot!Would anybody be willing to share with me what their interview was like/what kinds of questions they asked?
I was told they pull from the alternate pool any time a spot opens in the class. So it could be any time from now until June/July. It’s also a pool rather than a “list” so it’s not ranked.Does anyone know when UK starts to pull from their waitlist? Is it around Feb/March?? I was waitlisted at the Lexington and am really eager to hear back. Thanks!
Brah lets go!!! Thank you so much! Glad to see they updated that!!Multiple Choice!!!
I guess kentucky decided no decision😂Should be hearing back today! Although last time I heard, the class is already full
+1 OOS as wellFinal decision deferred. Got the email about an hour ago. OOS interviewed 1/12.
Was wondering the same— I was pretty surprised by this email because it seemed the only options post II were being added to the alternate pool or R. I’ll be curious to see where it goes from hereI wonder if everyone from the 1/12 interview got deferred. They did say the class was already full.
Does final decision deferred mean the same thing as being placed in the alternate pool aka being waitlisted? Just curious. Good luck!Final decision deferred. Got the email about an hour ago. OOS interviewed 1/12.
I believe so. But they told us that would be the case since everyone at that interview was interviewing for a waitlist spot. The class was full at that point. When people already accepted start choosing other schools, they will accept people that are on the WL/AL.Does final decision deferred mean the same thing as being placed in the alternate pool aka being waitlisted? Just curious. Good luck!
