hi everyone-

first of all congrats!!! i have loved my time here (i'm a 2nd year) and i'm sure you will too!!

just wanted to let you know if you are looking into buying a house/ needing a home loan in the KC area...i have a great referral that I used to buy both of my houses here in KC (one where i live, and the other i rent to med students)...he is an awesome realtor plus he does home loans too!! (and can get you 100% financing), so it's like one stop shopping :).

if your interested please e-mail me at [email protected] and i can give his info to you...i don't get any kickbacks from this..i just had such a great expierence with him, i can't help but put in a plug...plus why throw your money away renting when you can get a mortgage for as cheap as renting.

if you have any questions about kc or kcumb, i would be glad to help...i'm pretty involved at school so i should be able to answer most of your questions.

Good Luck :)...it is all worth it

I was definitely thinking about it. I haven't much money at the moment, but if I get this HPSP Scholarship I imagine I could afford a 800/month mortgage. If anything it'd be more of an investment than anything. Where are the good, safe, cheap neighborhoods around there???
 
well...living north of the river seems to be a bit cheaper than south of the river....gladstone and liberty are nice and affordable....south of the river, brookside is a nice area and not too far from campus as is mission.

hope this helps,

Tiffany
 
I'm in! Interviewed on 1/25, got the acceptance letter today!
 
Congrats to all of you entering KCUMB Class of 2011! I am currently a grad student here at KCUMB and, barring any huge disaster, I'll be joining you in the fall as an OMS I. If anyone has any questions about the school, KC, etc. Let me know and I'll try to get you an answer. See you all soon!

I dont know any specifics but I was told by CT that the school does some sort of rommate matching prog. I am living in CT and will need a roommate. However, I dont want to jump at the 1st available person. Im sure med school will be stressful enough-I dont want to deal with stess in my own home too. Therefore, Id like to do some sort of match where ppl can input their habits and preferences, etc. cross my fingers that i get a compatible roomie :luck:
 
I've been accepted into kcumb but am questioning my readiness, I've never taken any anatomy, micro, or immunology. I graduated from college in 3 yrs. and got into med school...just wondering what you all thought. Nonetheless, I am going to apply to live in Century Towers but will need a random roomie. Someone cool and laid back, ready to have some fun while kicking ars in school. email me at [email protected] if you're looking for a roomie..
 
Hey guys! Mr. Byrne, VP of Adm. is coming to my campus today! :D I feel so special, lol. I wanna go to the meeting (he's speaking to pre-meds about med school admissions, etc) and be like--"I got in! That's my school." lol. Ok I wont but it's tempting. They (the struggling pre-meds) need to know how cool I am :cool:

simo, I never took anatomy (but I did take physio) nor immunology. However, I would suggest you take micro if you could. That would be a helpful class.

Having said that, none of those classes are required, so the curriculum will be set up to teach you those things that you'll need to know. The Foundations of Medicine class will prepare us well for all of that "basic" science knowledge. I wouldn't stress too much. Stress a little, but not too much.

Go Jayhawks!
 
Interviewed on 1/25 and found an acceptance letter in the mail on 1/29! Quick turn around! Looks like I'm headed to KC!

I know exactly what you're going through. I felt the force of the "machine" too in my junior year when I was "suppose" to be readying myself for the app process but I just didnt feel ready, life ready. So, I waited. It actually caused me less anxiety to wait (which before that time, I thought waiting to enter med school would surely mean death!) than to proceed with the app process. Im so glad I listened to that little voice that said "not yet."

I know its hard to fight the force that propels pre-meds forward-we all have it by virtue of being a pre-med-but you dont have to follow it mindlessly. If you dont feel ready or just feel like you'd enjoy another year of life DONT MATRICULATE! A year sounds like a long time to wait when you've been planning for this moment you're entire life (supposedly), but just ask the second career folks and the non-trads- a year is NOTHING.

Im not really advocating either way for you. I would just say listen closely to how you feel and go with it. Dont do what you think you're "suppose" to be doing. If you decide to wait and KCUMB doesnt let you defer a year, then you just apply again. Obviously you're a stellar applicant to finish UG in 3 yrs and get accepted. With another year of experience (in whatever it is!) you'll be an even more desirable applicant. Good luck. If you do come to KC, I'll see you in Aug. If not, LIVE IT UP!!

Looks like they'll have 2 AL folks this year. We'll have to show 'em how we do things down here in the South. And most certainly show them what REAL BBQ tasts like ;)

Real BBQ = Vinegar-Based Pulled Pork (I'm from North Carolina.)
 
I actually worked in 2 diff BBQ restaurants in high school, so i consider myself an expert( ;) ). I dont know WHAT THE CRAP I ate in KC but I cant for the life of me understand why ppl in the mid-west are so excited about their BBQ. I mean, it was so...weird!! I almost had "issues" for my interview (I ate the mysterious saucy meat stuff the night before).
 
If you guys are looking for good apartments, I would strongly recommend taking a look at housing in Mission, KS. The apartments are cheaper, roomier, and much nicer than CT in my opinion. Mission is about a 15 minute drive for me during rush hour.

Thanks for the suggestion! Will highly consider.
 
I have also looked in the Mission area. There are some nice apartments in that area. Does anyone know when/how the roomate match service will be up and running. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

How about for someone who wants to ride a bicycle into class? I guess I'm a bit spoiled coming from Eugene and all...

You might want to hold that to yourself once you're in KC! :)

I like both Eastern Carolina (vinegar) and KC style...what i don't care for is Memphis or Texas "bbq".

I used to do the American Royal...and nearly have my pork butt perfected...nothing better than some pulled pork with Gates Extra Hot!

I guess what I'm trying to get at is, where would be the best place to live if you want to commute on a bicycle rather than a car. You know, reduce my carbon footprint, brave the blizzards in January, etc... It's a healthier venture, except when you become a hood ornament, which has happened to be before.
 
Does anyone know what a normal day/week of classes looks like at KCUMB? Just curious when lectures get done and how much time we have to study on our own. If any MSI/MSII's can post something up that would be great.

I guess the best place would be CT. There arent very many apartments nearby KCUMB, unless you get a house down the street, or go downtown and get a condo. The condos are actually pretty nice, accept that some of the condos offer low income housing and you get shady looking people.

I have attached a schedule for the section the MSII's are currently in...Endocrine...lectures are in the AM...with afternoon either being "independent study" i.e on your own or split up in labs a,b,c,d.. i.e I am in lab group B so I only go to classes in the mornings and then lab group B stuff...keep in mind MSII's are done with anatomy lab after neuro....ACCS is a clinical skills pt. interview things, patient conferences are when patients who have a certain disease we are studying come in a give a talk...OCS practicals only occur 3x's a year..it just happen there is one in endocrine
hope this helps

Sweet!! That is exactly what I was looking for. Just curious if you or anyone else for that matter could comment on the new building that is going up on the otherside of Highland Ave. I remember they mentioned that it would have a student lounge, workout area, and a auditorium. Does anyone have more info on this?
 
Hello everyone. I got accepted a few weeks back and I'll be attending KCUMB! Now I just have to find 2,000 bucks around here somewhere. Maybe a visit to the casino is in order....

I'm still torn between CT and getting something like this: http://kansascity.craigslist.org/apa/272236258.html

1300 square feet for $650?! In San Diego I pay $1700 for something substantially smaller. But it would be nice to be closer to campus

I know what you mean. ppl keep talking about how CT isnt that great for what you pay. I personally disagree (ive lived in some really ****ty apts for not much less than CT) except on one point: they are kinda small unless you get the supersized ones which they only have a few of. But Im always a sucker for convenience over luxury. The fact that I can roll out of bed 15 mins before class and not have to fight the snow on bad days is enough for me! :D

That place is almost right next to one of my rental houses i rent to med students...it is only a 8 min drive to school...close...plus you are by the plaza and westport which are the places most students go out on weekends...traffic is not bad in KC so don't be afraid of living "off campus" ie away from CT.

So does anyone know how the roomate matching service works, or when they start working on that? Probably sometime in the spring right?

I live in CT right now, and I agree that you can't beat the conveneince. I live in a single and it serves my purposes just fine. However, if you have more than one person living in a single it would get really cramped. I also like that I don't have as much "house" to clean (when I get a chance to do so).
 
The rooms at CT are pretty sound proof, and the toilets have the best flushing power I have ever seen in any house or apartment.

Is there anything negative about CT that you guys wish you had known before living there? Anything to be concerned about?
 
I think I'm living in a CT single for my first year just to get settled in. I'll probably look for a roommate after our first year to save some money if I can find anyone interested.
 
I received a letter from KCUMB today, and the tentative dates for orientation are Aug 6 - 10. White coat ceremony is scheduled for Aug. 9th. Classes begin on Aug. 13th.

Enjoy the next few months. Looking forward to meeting all of you!
