I really wish they (and other DO schools) wouldn't send out the master's program invites in the same emails that they reject you, seems shameless and like rubbing salt in a wound.
Agree with this. Just use common sense and you’ll be fine
100% agree with this.
are you talking at the school or at hospitals around?
Either? I would like to do research regarding fields I'm interested in cardio, ortho, or other specific fields
theres a summer research internship that kcu offers between m1 and m2 you can do. can also reach out to faculty whenever if you have an idea for something.
Thank you I will def reach out if i have questions!
No, nothing yet
I interviewed on 2/8. I called about an hour and a half ago and she said that “fingers crossed I would hear by early next week.”
What 💔 my anxiety will kill me by then
I cold emailed 50+ docs last winter break, got 6 responses, 3 were open to the idea, only 2 were actually serious (I mean that respectfully) and I ended up with the one that most aligned with the specialty I'm looking to do.
Wow that would be 7 weeks. Longest its taken for me to hear back from a school post interview.
Usually within 24 hours
It works like the match. You rank all the rotation sites in the order you would like and then they run an algorithm and try to make the most people happy as possible. You have the option to write letters for why you need to be at a certain site, whether you have a family tie or other ties to a certain location, also you can include financial, social, health, or other reasons why you need a certain site. I think most people get a spot in their top 3 choices, however, there are definitely sites that are very popular and those will be harder to get.
They are running 8 weeks instead of 6 at the moment. I called yesterday and they told me to call back on Thursday
It's not ranked per say, but if someone who was previously accepted deferred for a year, withdrew for another school, or for any other reason can not matriculate into KCU's incoming cohort, then comes time for pulling from the WL.
I can honestly say I have never heard of anyone feeling unsafe anywhere on campus. Our campus safety is excellent and they do a very good job of keeping campus safe 24/7, 365. Also, the entire campus is surrounded by a fence if that makes you feel any better. That said, the area outside of campus does have a relatively higher amount of crime, but I wouldn't worry about it if you aren't walking around outside of campus after midnight. If you are feeling unsafe or just if you want to, they have an app, or you can call, and campus safety will come to your location and walk with you to your vehicle at any time!
Thank you!!
campus is SO safe. driving in on either side theres secruity. if youre concerned of safety dont live right next to campus.
The day after the admissions decision email they sent an email with all deadlines that had a hyperlink to pay the acceptance fee. After you pay that, you receive another email with your new workday account info and a message through your new workday account to pay the matriculation fee. If you don't get a second email from admissions I'd call/email them!
I had called and asked about this. They have a specific number that is factored in to their aid package. They didn’t have this coming year’s figured out, but I was told last year it was 22,670 on top of tuition. They were very helpful and responsive when I emailed and set up a call, so I definitely recommend reaching out if you have more questions.
I also emailed financial aid and they sent me a PDF from last years cots of living and it had a pretty great breakdown of what expenses the cost of living covers.
Also curious about what insight people may have!
What does this mean exactly? Like masters students who were on the WL?
There's a master's program at KCU where if students get above a certain GPA (and MCAT I think) they are automatically given an interview at KCUCOM, although I know not 100% of students are accepted. I'm guessing some were probably put on the waitlist
But they all found out at once?
kcu 1000% all the way. kcu omm is minimal compared to dmu
agree with this 100%. KCU does less OMM, nicer campus imo, and even though I’m not a huge fan of the city KC is 1000x better than Des Monies
