Decent, I’d still apply, just be ready to explain your GPA if you interview. Any other activities or community service or research?
How many people from your class are outside of the Appalachian region? Interested in applying but I heard they like people from the region who are going to practice in rural Appalachia.
Yes they like people from KY but most all schools prefer candidates from their state for a variety of reasons (Support system, comfort, etc.). There are a ton of people from other areas (my class has people from MI, OH, ND, WY, WI, NY, FL, UT and others). Don’t let your area inhibit your applying. The best way to get into medical school is to cast a wide net and have options to choose from
Also, while DO programs encourage rural medicine, I know our school dont push it. We have clubs for nearly every specialty and bring in physicians to talk about those and encourage you to attend conferences to make connections in your field of interest. They want you to be where you want to be and do what you want to do. If you want FM great, if not, great. They just want you to be good at what you do and succeed. If you succeed, they succeed.
When were you complete?
I've been verified since early May, about a week after AACOMAS opened, if that's what you're asking.
I'm pretty sure KYCOM will manually grab the necessary letters from AACOMAS or Interfolio
The letters should be in AACOMAS/Interfolio. Whatever is in there or what you selected to place in there they will see
Same!
Yes your MCAT score must post before they will review your file
+1, I also received a secondary with an undergrad sGPA below 3.2 (it's 3.03 w/ my post-bacc). It must be a fairly soft/holistic screen.
Yes they do and I believe that is correct. If you have a lot of other things going for you they tend to overlook somethings. It’s more about the whole package.
I am below 3.2 for both cGPA and sGPA, and still received a secondary this morning. OOS w/ no ties to KY. However, I am non-trad w/ several years of social justice/underserved experience and interest in primary care, which very closely aligns with the mission.
Mine says complete on the portal, as well. I also received an email on 7/8 saying that I was complete and would be under review for the next 3-4 weeks. Did you receive the complete email or nothing at all?
Nope, I didn’t get a complete email! It might be because I just got my MCAT score last week?
That's probably it. I submitted and paid on 6/24, and I didn't receive the email until 7/8, so it took them 2 weeks or so to process. You'll probably hear something next week!
How is it already filled when no one got interviews yet?? And if we get in this cycle, wouldn't we be class of 2025? Perhaps they sent you the wrong email. I'd email the admissions committee back and clarify what happened.
Yes its from this cycle and not next cycle
Are you directly emailing them or just updating on your application?
Both. I got an email saying I was complete and I checked my portal and it was updated to complete for everything
Not really but they do have a Pre-screen of a 3.2 GPA and MCAT of 496-498 from what I remember.
