Anyone know if there is still a chance to receive an interview if I submitted my secondary last week? LM 67 for reference

During the interview day, I missed the last activity 'closing presentation' I thought it was over after the interviews and the group activity. Would it affect the decision on my acceptance? I am worried 😟

Just send them an email and they'll call you. Happened to me last year when my internet died right as the group activity ended. They said it was fine and called me the next day with the salient points from the closing presentation.

what's the percentage of people getting scholarships? how much does it cover tuition/fees?

I think the highest amount is 10k, then 5k, then 2k. It's also one year only iirc. The cutoffs last year were like 510/3.8, 508/3.7, 506/3.65 or sth.

Hi yall, im interviewing next month- am I interviewing for a WL spot or do they accept people from each date? thanks 🙂
 
Anyone from interview day 11/18 hear back yet? I assume our decisions may be pushed back a week because of Thanksgiving..
 
Hello Everyone,
Long time lurker finally posting LOL. Has anyone that interviewed on either 12/13 or 12/14 gotten a workday email? I have only gotten a link to the post-interview survey. Also, for the mid-December interviews, what date do students typically hear back in January?

Rejections after interviews? Yeah they do give out rejections post-interview, not everyone gets waitlisted. Whenever I applied (~4 years ago, I am a fourth year now), rejection rate was about 40% post interview.
 
It’s been past 21 days since I received my secondary. I know that’s past their due date with a hard deadline of March 1st. I can still access my secondary app. Is it worth submitting my app still?

Thanks! That makes me feel a little better haha best of luck to everyone waiting for decisions!
 
Does anyone know how their WL works (is it ranked, unranked, do WLs As/Rs come at the end of the cycle or on a rolling basis, etc)?

They let you know in May. I had high stats (for DO) and got in on the first day of waitlist movement but supposedly they try to match the person who withdrew with the new person off the waitlist.
 
It seems like for the past two years or so, 12/1-12/3 interview dates heard back before 12/23 but they seemed to emphasize in my interview (12/2) that it may take more than 3 weeks to hear back because of the holidays.

Does anyone have any insight on whether they usually emphasize this in the past to not get anyone’s hopes up but aim to get back to people before Christmas or should I really not expect to hear back until January?

Yeah I dont see why they wouldn't continue with that trend. I also noticed the same thing so im pretty sure 12/2 will hear back before the staff goes on break.

When is the first day of waitlist movement? Is that just based on people posting here or do they have some official date?

No official date. Usually starts moving around March/April and extends into June/July.

Congratulations to those who got the A today! I hope 12/2 interviews hear back today as well…
 
If any current students are in the chat. Can you speak on the diversity on campus.

I would say the student body is pretty diverse in regards to backgrounds/experiences. As far as racial diversity, it's not great, pretty much the typical white/asian majority you see at a lot of medical schools. That being said, as a person of color myself, I've found a tight knit community amongst the other minority students and the administration does a great job of being culturally sensitive and celebrating the general diversity of the class.

Thanks ! I plan on attending and as a person of color myself I was a little nervous.
 
Is KCU handing out post-interview rejections this year? So far all I've seen on this thread is A's and WL's?
 
+A for the Joplin campus. I was interested in the DO/MBA dual degree program. Can someone tell me more about it?
