[dr_of_rock]

Was I supposed to get an email with more interview day info after picking my interview date? I never got one. Maybe it comes later? Anyone know? @Doctor_E @Zelk

 

[sky778]

Hey what is KCU's acceptance rate from the number of people they interview?

 

[Soccerstar101]

II today! I am interviewing 10/12. To anyone else interviewing this day we should eat dinner together the night before to chat and pump ourselves up for the interview, let me know if you're interested.

Im gonna fly in early on the 11th. Also seeking an exploration partner!

Did it take you all a few days to get a complete email? My secondary has been in and my letters were turned in on Tuesday. I've gotten complete emails from other schools but nothing from here..

 

[sab3156]

Interview invite received on 9/15.

 

[Glubad]

My letters were in mid August and I only got a complete email yesterday.

Yeah it took me about 2 weeks to be verified after submitting.

Just now? haha

 

[LutGholein]

I loved the interview here!! Very conversational and very warm staff and students-- to those of you interviewing; believe me-- it's a beautiful campus.

 

[cjcarter]

Interviewing on 10/5. MCAT 503, GPA 3.5, sGPA 3.27. Good luck to everyone!

 

[MCAT1007]

Can any current students tell us how long they took to make a decision post interview?
I really want to know sooner than 6 weeks haha

2 for me as well. But we didn't have to deal with opening a new campus at the same time. I would imagine that it may be closer to the middle of that timeline while they figure the logistics out.

acceptance? I interview in a week and would like to gauge how good of a shot I have. Could you DM me?

 

[jcve34]

Based on last years forum it was a 2.5 week turn around for the first interview which this years date was 9/13.

With the new campus it will probably be the 4-6 week period.

 

[J731]

Congrats to all who have II. Quick question here. How long after submission of all materials did you get the "application complete" email? My secondary was submitted in July, and LORs on 8/29. Thanks!

 

[poloboy]

Any current students willing to provide insights into the Disaster Life Support Training at KCU? Much appreciated!

 

[AlteredScale]

Yeah. They cancelled that and are just doing acls and bls training now hahaha.

[poloboy]

@AlteredScale No wonder that link on the new website is being weird!

But is KCU still "a designated NDLS Regional Disaster Preparedness Training Center?"

 

[bbentertainment]

completely missed the email regarding campus preference selection... -.- is it even worth calling to try and ask to put my preference down at this point? since the deadline was the 16th

 

[Marrowist]

4 weeks and 5 days out... still totally quiet. I love you KCUMB!!! Pick me!

 

[CCmetal94]

II today via email!!!! So pumped! In state, LM - 63. Complete about a month ago

BDLS is death by PowerPoint. ADLS is actually pretty fun.

What's the duration of these courses?

 

[movinonup]

What's the duration of these courses?

When I took it, BDLS was one full day and ADLS was spread out over two days.

That's not bad at all!

 

[NecrotizingFasciitis]

Interview went really well. Definitely very relaxed and conversational.

They told us don't expect to hear a result until 6 weeks.

They literally just got the pre-accreditation approval TODAY (for Joplin campus) so they will be modifying their secondary to reflect that and sending out a survey to ascertain your campus preference (at least for interviewees).

I got an email about campus preference last week but definitely haven't received an interview that I'm aware of

I believe they sent it to everyone who filled out a secondary. They were going to add that option onto the secondary for those who had yet to complete it.

Ah this makes sense. Thank you!

Getting a little nervous because my 4 weeks is up this Friday so I thought I might have somehow missed it..

It wouldn't be a sign of impatience.

Ok, does anyone have the number? lol

After my 4 week date passed I got an email saying that because of the number of apps they just hadn't gotten to mine yet and told me it would be just a little bit longer. This was about a week and a half ago

 

[Dr. wait for it...]

Yeah it seemed like not long ago someone posted on here that they received an II and their complete date was about 6 weeks before that. So I'm expecting around that time frame...

 

[SmilingTooth]

Does KCU silently place some applicants on the waitlist pre-interview? I'm pretty sure that's me at this point.

No clue. You could be on a hold of a secondary application list. Try calling them and seeing where you stand.

I submitted my secondary a while ago (stopped counting after 5 weeks), so I'm thinking post-secondary pre-interview waitlist maybe. I will contact them soon.
