Hey! What unique things about the school do you like? In terms of curriculum, opportunities, etc? Will be interviewing next month and wanted to get a student's perspective.

No problem man and thank you! You will get that II I can feel it. They’re still early into it. When I signed up for the first interview date it shows how many spots are left and it seems everyone invited so far only choose the first date and there were only around 10 spots missing from that date. I was honestly very shocked as this is one of my reach schools. I believe they just really liked my secondary. I talked a lot about how I’ve learned so much having to do with patient-physician interaction at my scribing job.

Do you mind if I DM you brother?

 

[Cheer98]

I just received a secondary earlier today after submitting app in May!

 

[taguylla2]

Why does the secondary ask "Besides KCU, what are your top five choices for osteopathic medical schools?" Did anyone not answer this question and get a II?

 

[latransplant]

It's a little interesting, but I think I'm going to answer it honestly.

Their secondary also asked me what population I grew up in, but I moved around my whole life to a lot of different sized communities. Wish they'd give me the option to elaborate instead of having to void the answer.

 

[SimpleMess13]

For some reason, I still have not received the secondary. OOS and stats are above median.

It’s still really early for this school! They only started reviewing primaries and sending secondaries recently so I’m sure they just haven’t gotten to you yet

 

[DoctorFrat]

I received an II after answering it honestly. Even put my stats DO school as one of them and they still gave me the II. I think most of my schools were urban environments, maybe that helped, not sure

 

[taguylla2]

how selective is KCU with giving out secondaries? Or is it just basic screening?

 

[indiRanger]

Hey everyone! 4th year here from the KC campus, did my rotations in Denver, and currently applying to IM. Happy to answer any and all questions

 

[indiRanger]

They're selective with their secondaries

 

[binky23]

At what point should we reach out to the school about the secondary if we have not received one?

 

[foodienerdy]

Does anyone know if they have a minimum GPA or screen based on GPA? I couldn't find anything on their website

 

[futuredoctor123456789]

GL on interviews, let me know if you have any questions.

 

[Kirby101101]

Apparently same...

 

[helpmeouthere]

What makes yall think you were screened? Just that you haven't gotten a secondary?

 

[boomertexas]
