Good luck everyone! Mines the week after I think. Let us know how it goes 😅Mine is tomorrow as well! I read from last year's thread that there's a ~ 6 week wait time to hear about A/WL/R decisions post-II. Good luck to you tomorrow!

Oh, I'm not sure lol. Looking at the recent posts seems like they got rid of it. Neither a good nor bad thing. Best of luck and hope to see most of you here.I dont think we have the written prompt this year. It doesnt say on the email or online?
same question!"Your application has been submitted. Please allow our admissions staff time to process your application and other materials. Further communication will be sent once your application has been reviewed."
Is this some form of your application is complete or should I be expecting that email yet? This is the most recent communication I have received so not sure if my app is actually complete (it should be???)

That is the last email I received before the II. I believe it is the “complete” email.same question!
Thanks for your response. May I ask how may weeks after you submitted your secondary that you got an II?That is the last email I received before the II. I believe it is the “complete” email.
You’re welcome! I submitted my secondary on 08/10. Received II on 08/24.Thanks for your response. May I ask how may weeks after you submitted your secondary that you got an II?
Thank you! I submitted my secondary Thursday last week and still waiting. Really want to go to this school.You’re welcome! I submitted my secondary on 08/10. Received II on 08/24.
pray you get that II! This is my top choice also so I feel you!Thank you! I submitted my secondary Thursday last week and still waiting. Really want to go to this school.
Do you have any ideas about how they select someone for an interview?
+1 all of the above!Just received an II (OOS)! This is one of my top choices and I wasn't expecting anything from them! Super excited!
When did you guys submit secondary?+1 all of the above!

I submitted my secondary 8/28. Was not expecting this quick of a turnaround time tbhWhen did you guys submit secondary?
Same here!“Qualified status” email today. So disappointed ☹️
The color of the tab corresponds to what page of the application you are on, if you click around the red dot will moveIs the 'review tab' on the secondary portal suppose to be red after just submitting a secondary?
That is possible! But it looks like there are people who are actually getting an R, so the way I see it, they could have sent us the rejection email, and sent us this one instead, so there’s still hope!got the feeling that the "qualified" email is a soft R... oh well cross it off the list
I personally wouldn't, they said your app gets deleted after the 21 days and I wouldn't want to spend the money for nothing.I totally missed the 21-day deadline. It is now almost 20 days late. Worth even submitting the secondary at this point?
I am someone who submitted after the 21 day deadline at day 23 and am currently attending KCU. Email admissions.I totally missed the 21-day deadline. It is now almost 20 days late. Worth even submitting the secondary at this point?
Yup emailed them. And they were ok with it!I am someone who submitted after the 21 day deadline at day 23 and am currently attending KCU. Email admissions.
Congrats!! So can you confirm that it is close file? I’m just confused why they say to review all your apps?Received secondary on 8/9 submitted 8/16 received II 8/24 scheduled interview for 9/10
yes it was closed file, the interviewers each have a topic for their respective station so they ask questions regarding that topic and at the end if you have time you can ask them questionsCongrats!! So can you confirm that it is close file? I’m just confused why they say to review all your apps?
I mean to me it seemed close file because they didn't ask me anything specific to my application.Congrats!! So can you confirm that it is close file? I’m just confused why they say to review all your apps?
They use the interview to see if you're human and you can talk to people.Does anyone know how the interview is weighed compared to other components of our applications when they make decisions?
Honestly once you get to the interview your stats don't matter they want to see how your personality fits into the incoming class that they are trying to build. they want to know that you have basic communication skills and that you can be a team player because much of medicine is collaborative. So you can have stellar stats but if your interview isn't good there is a good chance you maybe be rejected or waitlistedDoes anyone know how the interview is weighed compared to other components of our applications when they make decisions?
What exactly is a good interview? Do you know of anyone who got in who was a bit iffy about their performanceHonestly once you get to the interview your stats don't matter they want to see how your personality fits into the incoming class that they are trying to build. they want to know that you have basic communication skills and that you can be a team player because much of medicine is collaborative.

A good interview is when you are yourself, show them your personality and be honest in your answers! The interview process is very relaxed at KCU they just want to get to know you and see how you’ll fit into the community. There’s no “perfect phrase” or answer to give, promise! Don’t overthink it too much, just show them who you are and why you would make a great addition to the kcu team!What exactly is a good interview?

Hi! I sent an update letter when I applied last year and it was fine! I just sent it to the general admissions contact and kept the email very brief and to the point. I believe they’ll accept additional letters of rec too if you find someone to write one late in the game (or if you’re on the waitlist later) that’s what I did and I ended up getting off. Not sure if they made a difference but I figured anything helped.Does anyone know how the update letter process works for KCUCOM? Is it allowed? If so, do we just email the letter to the general admissions email contact?
Did KCU provide a decision timeline?**Late Post**
Secondary received 8/11, submitted 8/15, II 8/24, attended 9/22.
Overall great experience interviewing and it was much more relaxed than I had expected. I Will not share any information regarding the interview due to the signed NDA so please do not ask. Good luck to everyone applying and I hope that everyone who has interviewed receives good news soon!
Not yet. I interviewed on 9/22 though, so I'm trying to be patient because I don't think ill be hearing back until mid-October to early NovemberHas anyone heard back from KCU post-interview?
It hasn't even been 3 weeks since 9/10, and they told us it would take 6 weeks...Has anyone heard back from KCU post-interview?
From their website: Biochemistry - 3 semester hours (4.5 quarter hours)Does this school require 4.5 units of biochemsitry? Don't people take only one biochem class? I am off by .5 units. Does that mean I will really not be considered?
yes, but my school was quarter and only one quarter of biochem was required which is 4 units. And the requirements say 2 grades so that means everyone needs to take 2 biochem classes?From their website: Biochemistry - 3 semester hours (4.5 quarter hours)
