Does KCU even have a secondary? I recall them asking questions on the primary like DMU

I hope not! I actually spent a lot of time on those questions lol

 

[fldoctorgirl]

The questions weren't anything special though, just which location you prefer and the "any additional info" prompt. But, who knows.

 

[premedstudent2017]

what percent of students come from OOS?

 

[Mr. D.O.five]

what percent of students come from OOS?

I think 65-70%? Maybe even more. I just moved in and most of the people I talked to were OOS.

Wanted to get everyone's thoughts on likelihood of secondary:

I got that "apply early" interest e-mail from KCU and replied back with my stats nontrad (I'm 27) 3.3cgpa/3.0sgpa 3.33 postbacc/510+ MCAT knowing I might get screened and didn't want to apply if it was going to be automatic.

They responded that they would still review me and take into consideration my higher MCAT but looking at last year's thread, it looks like the overall opinion was they were pretty strict with cutoffs. Thoughts? Financially strapped and would love KCU but didn't want to throw $$ away.

Thanks in advance!

 

[fldoctorgirl]

Really want to know if we're going to get a secondary, but too afraid to contact admissions

 

[fldoctorgirl]

2500 characters, but it's not a hard limit. You can go over that if you must.

You have to log in with your email, not your CAS ID.

 

[AspiringD0c]

I haven't had any trouble logging in, you may need to contact them

Yeah I tried two separate times. I will revisit it later

I type in all of my information and hit "create account" and then just get the loading circle animation. I've tried multiple browsers and computers and still cannot seem to get it to work. I contacted them, and they said to send them a screenshot, which I did - still waiting to hear back

No secondary. But an email saying, "Your application has been sent for further review. This process can take up to 2 weeks. Once the application review is complete, you will receive additional communication from KCU-COM. If you have not heard anything from our office within 2 weeks, please email."

Did anyone else get this? I was verified and submitted in May.
