Is anyone interviewing on 8/22??

 

[khalmo]

I got the interview invite and I remember also signing up for a virtual tour. There was no email confirmation for that and I forgot the date. Do they send info prior to the tour or did I screw myself by not writing it down

OOS II- Man, these interview dates are far out unfortunately.

 

[bigblubba]

I think you put down your campus preference on the primary

 

[DoctorSparkles]

OMS3 on KC campus - feel free to PM me if you have questions!



My biggest advice from my experience assisting on interview days is to attend the on-campus interview if possible. The interviewers are way less critical in person.

OOS II, on my primary I selected both campuses, however, after researching the schools more I realized that I would only like to attend KCU, is this something I can change? Also, is there any benefit from interviewing in person or should I just save myself the money

When I went to the prospective student presentation the admissions woman said there’s no benefit at all. Whatever is more convenient.

Yes, I just got a II as well (OOS)- earliest date available was 10/29

how much of a disadvantage (or advantage) is interviewing in November? I got an II today and my earliest virtual II is in November while in person at Joplin is Oct. Also after the interview how long does it usually take for a decision to be made?

Not a disadvantage, and usually 6-8 weeks.

I’m assuming virtual as well? I can’t believe how far out virtual dates are!

 

[chizzykingg]

It says my letters of rec are incomplete but I sent them to AACOMAS. Anyone else have any trouble with this? Would it let me submit with their status being incomplete.

hello for those who got the "interview" on the KCU portal, when did it show up? I just submitted my secondary application and the fee but it shows that my letter of recommendations are missing. When I called, they said they update it themselves. So, I am wondering if it would show up after they update the letters?

Not late at all just remember that! This process unfortunately requires ungodly amounts of patience.

I know people who submitted in December last cycle and were admitted to the “top” DO programs.

Comparison is the thief of joy!!

It will pop up if they choose to invite you for an interview- it will pop up that afternoon. I got mine approx 4 weeks after all of my secondary and LOR were marked complete

I'm getting nervous about my upcoming interview with this school. it's my first one, so I don't want to mess up, but gosh, it nerve wracking. How are people preparing? to those who already had it, what did you do that helped you through it? were there any surprise questions you felt gave you a hard time?

Did the interview survey not work for anyone else? It said the survey was no longer accepting responses for the 2023-2024 cycle (last year).

[tryyourbestkid]

I’ve been informed that I’ve not been selected for an interview at this point, but will continue to be considered throughout the cycle. I’d appreciate some advice as I’m quite gutted, MCAT 512, science GPA 3.7, non-science GPA 3.8, and Canadian Citizen.
