I'm sorry to say but I just withdrew my seat at ATSU-KCOM. I wish everyone the best and I hope you guys rock the next four years without me. :xf: Here's to someone else getting a great phone call tomorrow with an offer of a seat!👍

🙁

Just sent you a PM asking about this.


Congrats on the other acceptance though!!! I'm sure you'll love it.
 
Hi everyone!
I just received the on campus housing application. Would someone be able to comment on the location of the on campus apts? What about meals? How far are they from the nearest supermarket? Would I be able to buy meals on campus? Do you think a car is necessary? Thankyou!

I got the same option, but i chose to decline it. Already being accepted somewhere and waitlisted other places I didnt want to incur the costs of another interview. Wish I would have gotten the invite earlier. Would have loved the chance to interview here

Campus housing is across the street from campus and right next to the gym. The hospital has a cafeteria but there isn't one at the school. All the grocery stores are on the other end of town but a car isn't a necessity. You can always find someone else who is going to Walmart to bum a ride from.

That is when one of deposits is due. Wish they would just increase the class size, 172 is pretty small for nowdays.

Ehh ... I really hope everyone gets in, but increasing class size without increasing resources - facilities, rotation spots, faculty, etc, is never a great idea.
 
Well, the email I got made it sound like they are expecting some movement in the next couple of weeks. As far as class size goes "it is what it is." I just do not want to wait to next years class.:xf:

Let's keep it alive Scooper. You're waiting for April 15 for some movement, right?? Have you thought about writing a LOI or anything??? Keeping in touch with your admissions counselor?

I sent them a Email OI. Hope that will be good enough. Thanks for asking. I am on the Accepted Pending "death by waiting for a " seat list.

Lucky I have other options. I guess others are not so fortunate. I need to start thinking of the positive. Reflect on what I have not on what maybe. Appreciate the many wonderful things life has offered me.

Enough of that non-sense...
MOVEMENT PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!:meanie: lol
 
So with the April dead line looming many people are sitting on an acceptance at DO schools with hopes that they can get into an MD school. So expect some moverment. It's not cool but it's the name of the game. We had a couple students in our class that got a phone call from admissions the week before orientation that will now graduate with us. Good luck and think happy thoughts.

Thanks for the input. At the moment I am just not trying really hard to think about, keep myself busy with school and work. It will happen when it does, no need to torture myself in the mean time!
 
Anybody know when we will get a list of things we need to buy? I really want to know what kind of clothing (scrubs, professional, shoes, etc.) we are expected to have with us. I also want to know what kind of medical equipment we need to get before starting. Thanks all. And, I am crossing my fingers for those out there still waiting for a seat, I hope you get one. Actually, the KCOM facebook went from 154 members down to 151 and then 152, so I know movement is occurring.

The school will give you what they call "A Doctor Bag" with all your medical supplies included with in. Also, I'm sure you remember trying on white coats during your interview, well they were actually sizing you and will have a white coat for your along with your doctor's bag at orientation. I think the only that you really need to get is a laptop and they will let you know the requirements. Still plenty of time, good luck.

I know this is going to sound weird ... but do the white coats have anything embroidered on them or do a lot of students get their names put on 'em??

All the coats have the ATSU logo on them. One of the campus clubs offers free embroidery of your name if you join. Or you can get it done for like 12 bucks I think.

Sounds good. So, what kinds of fun things are in this 'doctor bag'?

Do a lot of people do this??? I think it would be a cool thing to have, but I don't want to look like the tool who purposely wears his coat after hours or walks into a store with a stethoscope around his neck :laugh:

I would say at least half the class probably did it. I did not, I figured my name tag was enough.
 
Is anybody (including current students) going to be in K-Ville this weekend (Fri-Sun, 26-28) and want to meet up or anything??? Going out to look at houses and eager to meet classmates.
 
Spoke at length to the admissions department about possible future movement. She did not sound to positive about my chances of getting a seat this year; although, she did not rule it out. Thank goodness I have other options. She did tell me that everyone who is currently accepted with a seat has skin in the game.

It really amazes me how many people end up losing 1000's because they end up going to another school, as well as the amount of money it has taken to apply to these schools. This racket of applying to both DO schools and MD schools needs an enema by nurse Ratchet.😱

You spoke to Donna? The staff is pretty helpful.

Your going to KCUMB? A great amount of burden is off your shoulders once you get an acceptance even if its not to your top choice. Hopefully, I can get one soon!
