Also waitlisted, interviewed 12/1, do they give a ranking?
Waitlisted today, interviewed on 12/5!
How important is it to attend the meet & greet? I had already booked a flight that would arrive afterward
So you go to JOP. maybe thats where they had open spots.Interviewed 11/30 - Got accepted by email to the KCU Joplin campus 2 hours ago. I applied to the KC campus so not too sure what this means.

as someone who is big on location, i remember there being a waitlist if you wanted to be considered for a campus you did not get accepted to. however, i don’t remember if that means it takes your acceptance off the table entirely. does anyone remember?
overall one of my favorite interviews! definitely prepare well and try to be calm/be yourself!! feel free to DM me, sorry for my delayed response I didn't see this lolHow was your interview experience w/o going into too much detail?
So I called and asked and she informed me that the KC campus is full. Joplin is close to being full. So I can go on the waitlist but if Joplin fills while I’m on it, then I must stay on the waitlist and hope for the best. But if I go on it and then, say 2 weeks later, call and say nevermind I’ll accept Joplin and there’s still space, then I still have the acceptance. I hope this info helps other people, too!!If you want to do that, you take your acceptance off the table entirely. You should not do that unless you have another A or you absolutely can not stay at one campus for logistical or practical reasons. However, if you do get an A, that means you're likely next highest on their radar to hand out the next A. It's hard to say what your chances would be if you did that, but I reckon they would be greater than 50%. But that's still a dangerous game to play

If it helps, everyone that got in during the fall has a matriculation deposit due on January 14th to keep their spot. I'm guessing that there may be some movement due to people not committing to KCU. Not sure how they'll move the waitlist, but fingers crossed for you!So I called and asked and she informed me that the KC campus is full. Joplin is close to being full.

She did say that they're not expecting movement until around May, if there is any, just because KC is full already. She said they conclude interviews in Feb, too. Thank you for the kind wishes I have a month till my deposit to figure out what I want to do so which is helpful.If it helps, everyone that got in during the fall has a matriculation deposit due on January 14th to keep their spot.

Was this the general waitlist for an acceptance? Or the waitlist to change campuses? (Im not sure if they're the same waitlist or not so sorry if that might be a dumb question)I didn't get off the waitlist until May like a lot of my waitlisted classmates
does that mean anyone interviewing later in the cycle is interviewing for Joplin? or a WL position?So I called and asked and she informed me that the KC campus is full. Joplin is close to being full.

The student panel is an opportunity for all the interviewees to ask current KCU students questions about their experiences at KCU. Basically another opportunity for you to get more information about what it's like to be a KCU student but there's no presentation during it. You simply ask them questions and they'll answer the best they can. You're not being evaluated during this.Hi, could someone please clarify the format of the virtual interview? I understand its being divided into the following sections:
1. Curriculum overview
2. Student Panel
3. Group Activity
4. Interview
5. Closing
From what I understand we are only being evaluated during the Group Activity and Interview section? What is the student panel? Are we going to be asked questions and assessed during the panel as well or is just another info session?

Another fourth-year at KCU here. 100% agree with not worrying about location. Also I've heard good things about the hospital within Joplin, and it hosts some of KCU's in-house residency programs.Truthfully medical school is 4 years. and in all honesty, you'll only be on campus for 2 years because 3rd year you apply for clerkships and can opt to another site and 4th year you're on auditions. I would say, stop worrying about location because a lot of people would fight for your spot even it being a less ideal location.
unless you have another acceptance somewhere else...then go where you'll be most comfortable. You couldn't pay me to live in Joplin, but some people like it.Truthfully medical school is 4 years. and in all honesty, you'll only be on campus for 2 years because 3rd year you apply for clerkships and can opt to another site and 4th year you're on auditions.

Hey everyone! I received an email from KCU on Nov. 8th stating the whole "my application had not resulted in an interview but would be reviewed periodically throughout the cycle". I felt my application was solid enough (cGPA is a 3.86, sGPA is a 3.82, 506 MCAT on the second retake, 2800+ hours patient care experience, good LORs, etc.) but I have not heard anything since from KCU. Is there still a chance to get an II from them or is it too late? Also thinking of sending in an additional LOR from my nurse manager on my floor who would write me a strong letter regarding my bedside manner with patients and families on a critical care floor and work ethic.
I probably have a skewed pool since everyone I've talked to has moved to KC because they didn't like Joplin so I am sure there are lots of people that liked it and stayed there - just couldn't be meDon't say that, I haven't met anyone at the Joplin campus who hasn't loved it or had any regrets.
For those who attended the meet & greet events, what was the dress code for the event? Was everyone in formal clothing (suited up) or just pants and a dress shirt (assuming indoors!).
what were ur stats?A to KCU campus! Interviewed 11/14, Canadian applicant, so so thankful
Congrats! I think they are still interviewing for the Joplin campus as there are still seats available there.secondary submitted 12/23
OOS II today!!
But is the interview not for an A but for a WL???
At this point the chances are probably low. Reach out to the app gurus on this forum for a breakdown of your app to see what might be missing if you don't get into any schools this time around. But yeah from those scores and GPA you have a solid app. It could have been your essays
I actually got the II the other day!!! I’m just glad they’re considering me now
Current second year. Not sure how it is this year but when I applied I didn't interview until like march 1st and was accepted for Joplin halfway through April.secondary submitted 12/23

Any idea about Union at Riverfront?Idk who needs to hear this but if you're an accepted student thinking about signing a lease at Century Towers, don't
source: live there currently
Great place I know friends who live there, if you have the money for it then do itAny idea about Union at Riverfront?
I lived there last year, I think its overpriced and peoples cars are broken into there literally everyday - I would recommend living in river market if possibleAny idea about Union at Riverfront?
Same with core?I lived there last year, I think its overpriced and peoples cars are broken into there literally everyday - I would recommend living in river market if possible
Core is more expensive but is generally nicer quality. a lot of people there park in a dirt lot outside the building so I doubt their security system is any betterSame with core?
closed file.Does anyone know if the interviews are open or closed file?
