Yes, they sent out an email about month ago stating that recent workday updates removed it and that they were not able to put the waitlist status back on it.

Oh thank you! I just got waitlisted this past weekend so I didn’t know

I emailed Admissions earlier today to withdraw from the incoming 2026 class. Hopefully one of y'all on the waitlist gets in!

Just got a seat offer for the Joplin campus after being on the waitlist. I also have an acceptance to PCOM-PA. Most likely gonna stick with PCOM but I really do love KCU’s curriculum.

Current student at Joplin Campus about to start 4th year. Feel free to message with questions about the school, joplin, or even HPSP scholarship if yall have any.

I would love to get some input from current or former students on how to study well enough for in-class exams while simultaneously preparing for boards so I don't get overwhelmed during dedicated.

Is supplementing class material with AnKing, BnB, and Pathoma doable or is it going to be tough to handle with class lectures? How do you guys study while also having a steady workflow for board prep? I would love to hear some tips from current or former students.

About to start 4th year @ KCU-joplin. IMO KCU didactic curriculum is pretty tough when talking to my friends from other schools. It felt like they had a lot more free time than I did. The exams my first 2 years were pretty tough on the minutia with exam averages ranging in the low 70s with a curve up to an 85. The rigor of board prep kind of felt the same as I began board prep January of 2nd year due to how hard the curriculum was previously. Some of my other friends at other COMs felt like they had to ramp up for boards prior to dedicated. So as far as feeling overwhelmed, you kind of get use to it start 1st year.

Due to the 2 pass system from KCU, 1st year consist primarily of anatomy/phys/histo/micro and goes by systems. Second year is when they introduce path and pharm to those systems. In second year was when I supplemented with pathoma, sketchy micro/pharm, and anking. It is difficult to pass KCU exams with only board prep material so I would get a couple passes on the school lectures to try and figure out what would be high yield for the exam.

Hi everyone, interviewed here (Joplin) a week and a half ago and felt like 2/3 went well except one was a real hard ass on me, even with that I still felt like I had good answers and stuff but I can’t help but feel disappointed and a little discouraged as KCU truly is my top choice. I know it’s rolling admissions so I’m grateful to have interviewed early as well.

Has anyone felt like this and gotten accepted? It would be nice to hear some encouragement.
