To my fellow low stat applicants: just had the best chat with the admissions director and was told this.

We do consider 498 MCAT scores a bit later in the cycle. Best wishes!

My status just says “complete” but when I go into the UPIKE portal and click on the interview tab, it has “congratulations, I am delighted into inform you that you are invited to interview….”

In the interview portal it says interviews will be in person, but the email I just received says it will be online via zoom.
Where exactly did you see the interview tab?

Where exactly did you see the interview tab?

It’s between the “contact information” and “secondary app” tabs within the UPIKE portal. Perhaps if you don’t see it, it only unlocks when you receive an II.

I wouldn’t stress, from speaking with the admissions lady they have lots of interview slots slated for the coming weeks. I’m sure more invitations will go out this week.

You’ve been killing it this cycle omg!! Congrats! Stats?
stats are in my signature :)

I mean, I've gotten three IIs to all definitely lowest tier DO schools and haven't heard jack from mid-high tier DO, but YES I'm extremely, extremely grateful and feel so overwhelmed with gratitude. When I saw my MCAT I didn't think I'd even get one interview. I'm shocked.

Sorry was on mobile so didn’t see signature! Hoping to also have some degree of success but I know my time will be later as a lower MCAT score
 
Those who have gotten II, how did y’all schedule it? I tried calling Jennifer but I had to leave a voicemail
 
Hi all:) I am a recent graduate from KYCOM. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey Medscigirl! I’m getting more anxious and excited as my interview approaches on Tuesday. Any interview specific tips?
 
I'm not gonna lie, I feel like KYCOM's email with the information packets/pdfs/attachments is really nice. I can do it on my own time, don't have to take PTO to attend a 4+ hour long meeting. I much prefer this to the long, drawn-out, boring info sessions at other schools.

Just finished my interview. For everyone with interviews coming up, do not stress! I stressed so much and had the most pleasant experience. KYCOM truly means it when they say they want to get to know you as a person

Just interviewed today. Very relaxing and it felt like they didn’t even have a list of questions to ask. They asked me to tell them about myself and went off questions from that. Very conversational and relaxed. Was told the ADCOM meets sept. 7th so I should hear back within 3 weeks for a decision

I was given the same 3 week timeline. Glad to hear your experience was similar to mine :) fingers crossed for us both!
