1. What failures have you experienced that have shaped you as an individual and prepared you for the rigors of medical school?
2. What have you found as the most effective way to prioritize your time?
3. What individuals and experiences have led to your interest in Osteopathic Medicine and motivated you to apply to KHSC-KansasCOM?

How long were most peoples secondaries? I see here HollerMed said the prompts have '500 word count each' but I don't see that anywhere in the secondary application.

If you try to submit and a section is over 500 words, it gives you an error that says it is limited to 500 words.

It's been a month since I submitted my primary, and I have yet to receive the secondary. Is anyone in the same boat?

Thank you for your response. Do they prescreen secondary?
I wish I knew. Honestly, I am not sure. My MCAT is a 499 they say they require a 500. So, if they are screening they overlooked my 499 MCAT

So sorry for many questions, are you in state by any chance? I'm trying to email the admission office but the email seems to be not working.

I just got my secondary invite a couple of days ago. For those of you who received interview invites, how long after secondary submission did you get the interview invite?
 
Hey all, I have an online interview with KansasCOM on October 4th. I have not received any Zoom link or the exact time of my interview. I tried calling them, and the admissions office didn’t answer. Anyone get their info?

iirc the invite gets sent out two days before your interview
 
does anyone have more details about the interview like the style of interview or type of questions asked ?
