2024-2025 Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences (Kansas City) KCU-COM

[GoKCU!]

When does most WL movement start for KC campus? Or will there likely be very little? Also is there anybody who has not heard back from their Interview date or is it all waitlist now.

KC campus will have a lot less waitlist movement. Joplin will have some movement in late May/June!

Is the KC campus superior to the joplin campus

KC is a bigger city therefore people tend to prefer going there, but otherwise, I’m not sure what you mean by superior. They have the same curriculum and even same exact classes sometimes. The Joplin campus is newer so I guess it would be considered superior in that sense if you think of it like that.

For the stethoscope KCU requires, does it need to be the Littmann Cardiology IV? I already have the III Classic that I was gifted for my gap year job and don’t really want to get another one. TYIA!!!

No it can be any stethoscope they aren't picky, they don't even check them

I meant in things like access to research and other resources. I figured the city would be an attraction haha

Does anyone know what the match rate was a KCU for 2025?

Sub 90% I believe

 

[weekendwarrior92]

Also very important distinction of Match Rate vs Placement Rate. You all have probably heard them tell you 98% or 99% "match" each year. This is simply not true. What they are telling you is the placement rate.
The difference is Match Rate is what percent of people get an email Monday morning saying "Congrats you have matched."
Placement rate is the people who match, but also people who SOAP, Scramble or get a research position.
They are not the same.

No but you should watch the video, make a chart/list, and share it with all of us 🤣

Does anyone have kcu’s 2025 match list?

 

[DoneDone3451]

Does anyone have kcu’s 2025 match list?

They have a video posted online that shows each student, match (where and what), but the actual "Google Form/Doc" has not been posted to my knowledge.

I made this from their map. I didn't include where each person matched.

I'm not sure if it includes SOAP & Post SOAP placements. I'm also not sure how accurate my chart is.

You can get a better view of where people matched in specific specialties if you click on their map here, then click the drop down menu on the left, and it gives a list of all the specialties (that you can click on and see where they matched). I copied that into this excel sheet and sorted it.

Edit: updated order

KCU doesn't release stats about how many people soaped
