Received secondary application today.

Is the secondary application selective, or does everyone who is verified get one?

Is the secondary application selective, or does everyone who is verified get one?

I don't know for sure, but my assumption is that it is selective. If everyone were to get one I would think we would have gotten it a month or so ago. Does anybody else have more information?

 

[PHDentsitry]

I received an invitation to interview today but when I log into to schedule, it says "Access Denied". Anybody else having the same issue? I emailed and called but have not got a response back yet.

Just virtual options available for KCU this year?

Just virtual options available for KCU this year?

It appears so. None of the interview spots on their online scheduler gave an in-person option.

Hello all! They did their first round of interviews yesterday. I can't give specifics due to signing an NDA but I did think that it was run very well. Everybody was kind and asked relevant and useful interview questions. For those that have interviews coming up with KCU just relax and be yourself and you will do fine. Since applying, this school has grown on me considerably. Good luck everybody!

Since we have to sign an NDA, we cannot give specifics. I will say that I found the process to be very well ran and everybody was very kind and supportive. As long as you know yourself and why you are applying, I did not find any of the questions to be difficult. You will do great! Good luck!
