I have an interview scheduled here in person soon and was asked to attend the meet and greet the night before. I was just wondering if anyone has been and what the vibes were with dress code and stuff. I have my interview day suit but wasn't sure about this or what to expect.
 
Hi everyone! I thought I would create a group chat via GroupMe for all those who are accepted. It's a great way to connect and meet your potential classmates! The GroupMe link is attached below.

Interview 2/20, A 2/21 Joplin campus (selected no preference)
 
Hi everyone, currently a first-year medical student at KCU here. I wanted to share some important information that may not have been communicated to prospective and accepted students. For the Class of 2028, KCU has eliminated independent core site rotation options. This means that during third-year rotations, students will no longer be able to set up their own sites. Instead, rotations will be assigned through a lottery system from the school's contracted sites which is the standard way of setting up rotations - link to current options here --> (KCU Core Clinical Clerkship Sites)

If you were planning to arrange your own third-year rotations closer to home or in specific locations, that would not be an option. This was a major factor in my decision to attend KCU, and had I known they could take it away, I might have made a different choice. Since deposit deadlines are coming up, I wanted to make sure you all had this information before committing.

Hope this helps!
 
Question for current accepted students, are we supposed to be paying for this immunization and background check out of our own pocket?
