Why? it seems like turnarounds on decisions have consistently been about 8 weeks. i know i interviewed on 02/10 so i just passed the 5 week mark
I’ve seen some acceptances come like a month after people’s interviews. Also, based on previous threads, people seem to stop reporting any As around this time, and then in April only Rs or WLs. I remember one thread where then in like June many people got in off the waitlist though

I’m just an applicant so tbh you could be right, im just going off of the last two years of data, where they seem to have the month of April solely for WL and Rs until the 30th where WL movement starts

We just published this story on Match Day 2026 reflections.
Thank you, I had seen their Match results on the KPSOM website, but this adds more color to it and reading the student accounts makes me even happier that I decided to go there 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
 
Have any early Feb interviewees heard back yet?
A lot of late Jan heard back last Friday. Mid Jan heard back the Friday before that. They were rejections though. This Friday is probably Feb interviews. I think it’s either a WL or R at this point, especially with KPSOM’s second look weekend on April 10th. TBH I think no news is better this Friday cuz an email in the inbox would probably be a rejection

Plus the last acceptances heard on Wednesday and not Friday
 
Still waiting on my interview results but not everyone gets the $40k living stipend? Their website says: "Students entering KPSOM through the fall of 2026 will be responsible for living expenses and the accepted student registration deposit."

Does anyone know what’s the lowest mcat they will accept? I hope to apply with 505-510 Mcat next cycle. Trying to see if it’s even worth applying

I believe tuition is not free for next year's entering class so the average accepted MCAT score will likely drop. Shoot your shot!
