Does anyone know if the white coat ceremony in KC will have both KC and Joplin students?
I got the official acceptance letter, but not the acceptance packet. The letter said to expect the packet in 3-5 business dayshas anyone got any further information since the acceptance email last week?

May I ask why you chose KCU?Not officially but December first I'll be sending my deposit to KCU and differing my KCOM acceptance
Did you have a reason other than just wanting to interview sooner?
I liked the school better like as a physical entity. I thought the buildings, library and lecture halls were all nicer. I'm from Chicago, so Kansas City is small to me I think I'd lose my mind in kirksville with a population of 17,000. I get a more competitive feel at KCU as far as competing for specialty residencies. The curriculum at KCOM with compound exams covering every subject does not really appeal to me I much prefer the KCU curriculum with the normal anatomy followed by the abnormal/path the second year. To top it off it's quite a bit cheaper to attend KCU.May I ask why you chose KCU?
You should callDid they get back to you fairly quickly? I emailed them Friday and haven't gotten a response.

Fair enough. How long did it take you after completion to hear about an II? I got the completion email 10/24, so I'm concerned that interview slots will be filled by the time they get to me.I liked the school better like as a physical entity.

just paid the deposit! Can anyone tell me how quick to get going on the immunizations, they seemed pretty serious about starting quickly but would I be ok if I started by jan. 1 or should I start like yesterday? @AlteredScale help would be appreciated, thank you all
lol damn ok will do thank you! how in the world do people accepted in like march possibly make the deadline?Sooner the better. I hadn't had hepB prior. Began my shot series on Christmas eve and wasn't finished with it by the deadline. So "yesterday" is pretty accurate.

thank you !Start as soon as you can, but they will check back with you as the semester goes on if you miss the deadline to see if you have completed it, you just have to give them proof that you've at least started the series.
And even if you do it all on time, you'll probably get an email that you're "missing something" but then they'll magically find the paper work lol. It happens, don't stress too much about immunizations! Just get them done

I'm not gunna lie, there was a deep dark corner of my mind that was like, "bro... haha... what if they accidentally sent you an acceptance e-mail? Wouldn't that be funny?" so I'm glad this came.

20 daysKind of off topic but how long did it take to hear back post interview?
you choosing pcom fam?I was so excited about my interview at KCU and enjoyed the warm hospitality of students and faculty when I was there. Without doubt, this school offers an unparalleled medical education. But after thoughtful consideration, I will withdraw my acceptance due to other opportunities. Hope my spot goes to one of you deserving friends!

Current MS-3 undergoing the prestigious Sarnoff Research Fellowship which is a year long fully funded fellowship at the University of Michigan Health System. Absolutely blew me away with their knowledge of the literature and dedication. Check it out below.

They have the last 5 years, see link belowDoes KCU have a list of residencies that each class matched at?
Do you think that KCU is starting to have more research opportunities or becoming more "MD-like" with their research programs?
What is their board prep like? I've heard they encourage taking step 1 and if this is true do they prep you for both?as much as I would like to say yes to this I can't. There still seems to be a bit of a disjoint between research and the curriclum because kcu is so hell bent on making sure that classes destroy boards. They provide research electives third and fourth and many student do actually come back to school to conduct some basic science research however most simply find case reports or retros to do with their preceptors if they are rotating at a teaching hospital!
In the future, it would be nice to see more connection however wwe dont have a big research faculty or facility so 270 students getting a fqir chance at research is still unlikely for now.

Definitely! My knowledge of KC is pretty much 0 so if anyone has anywhere they recommend I'd love to try it outI'll be there for the 6th as well! Want to grab a drink after the interview or something?
Anyone know how many people are brought in per interview day?
