I don't know if this was patronizing or sarcastic, but I smiled all the same!

I was being serious. You have made it through the hardest part... of your premedical career.

Thanks.

Not completely sure yet, but MSUCOM if I get into their DO/PhD program or PCOM.

Awesome! Congrats! Slightly jealous as I was eyeing that program for a while too.

 

[chizledfrmstone]

Can someone share a schedule of classes for KCUMB? Like what time what class starts and ends. Also since we our systems based curriculum do we not have block exams? Just one class exam at a time?

There are pics in the KCU c/o 2019 page.

 

[lil sunshine]

Just withdrew my acceptance here. Good luck to those on the waitlist!

 

[apr27]

[AlteredScale]

Negatory!

 

[SwayWithMe...]

Hi everyone! Any news about the wait list? Because I am still waiting and hoping for some good news!

 

[meliora27]

Over the past few years KCUMB is usually pretty slow in releasing the match list.

 

[abui]

do you happen to know if there were any matches for CA this year ?

I think I saw 2. Path/UCLA and Neurology/Kaiser Permanente.

Rumor has it they also bought the motel near campus for something...

 

[Awesome Sauceome]

What's the feel from the students about it?

Other CA matches (off the top of my head)

Family Med - USC (ACGME)
Neurosurgery - Arrowhead (AOA)

 

[chizledfrmstone]

It was just announced. Students are probably busy cramming for Neuro...

 

[midweststudent1]

It was just announced. Students are probably busy cramming for Neuro...

Was this announced at the investiture for dr Hahn?

 

[apr27]

Yeah it was announced at the investiture. KCU also bought the Motel Capri and is turning it into "green space."

Anyone else here about a person that scrambled into Anesthesiology?

 

[th3v3rn]

Dang it! I will miss relaxing in their comfortable jacuzzi!

 

[madpin21]

Can any current students lend insight to how much books/equipment cost the first year? I'm working on my financial aid application and it would helpful to know how much I'll need to shell out for that stuff. Thanks!

 

[justpedsthings]

In addition to madpin's question, is if necessary to have these things before orientation/the start of classes? I'm trying to limit things bought before moving to conserve space in my car haha.

 

[AlteredScale]

From what I read online, I thought the Financial Aid includes the payment for books no?

 

[Bbutterfly]

I would suggest getting thw Biochemistry book at least before you get there. It's about $40 on amazon. The rest you can figure out as you go in my opinion

 

[metoo]

Hey @Awesome Sauceome. Sorry to bother you with this question, but would you happen to know what day of the week and how often the COB meet to make admissions decisions? I applied to the masters program.

Nah I am afraid not, I dont know anything about the COB to be honest. I would have directed you to the COB thread but it seems you have found it already . Hopefully they can give you some direction.

I'm not sure what day of the week, but my current roommate is going into the COB program and it took about two-three weeks to find out.

Thanks for your response. 3 weeks seems to be the time frame based on what you and others have said.

I completely agree!! I would love to hear that people have started to get calls off of the wait list.

Is that a Jaromir Jagr avatar? Awesome. Go Penguins. I realize you are a blackhawks fan and not a pens fan.

Sure is. Jagr is so boss. 40+ and going strong.

While I am not a penguins fan I do think Pittsburgh is an awesome city. Plus, Sid the Kid is pretty ridic.

 

[ocean14]

Is there a website specific to KCU students that they use to sell their used textbooks/medical equipments? Our school had a website made by students that we used to post textbooks/housing info etc.

 

[CB10265]

Just sent an email withdrawing my acceptance. I hope it goes to one of you all!

 

[sage8608]

Does anyone know if they rank the wait list or is it pooled?

 

[chiralC]

Just sent my email withdrawing my acceptance. I hope someone here gets the good news!
