2022-2023 Kansas College of Osteopathic Medicine (KHSC-COM)

[Soogreat]

1. What failures have you experienced that have shaped you as an individual and prepared you for the rigors of medical school?
2. What have you found as the most effective way to prioritize your time?
3. What individuals and experiences have led to your interest in Osteopathic Medicine and motivated you to apply to KHSC-KansasCOM?

They didn't have character/word limits specified, but on last year's thread someone said it seemed like it was 500 words for each of them, so that's what I based my responses off of.

@PapaGuava

[Premedt123]

[DOctorCAL1]

Secondary received but will not be completing

when did you add this school?

 

[DOctorCAL1]

Secondary received today. I applied to KCU 08/06/22 after I had already submitted my primary in late June

this is another school. its not kcu

 

[Premedt123]

when did you add this school?

07/15 primary was submitted and received. I'm deciding not to complete secondary cause I received an A and don't want to pay for the secondary fee.

 

[drthedude]

brother I still don’t have a secondary LMAO idk if I should even email them at this point

 

[Premedt123]

Based off the posts here, I don't think a lot of people received secondary essays from here yet and it's kind of late. But I'm going to assume it's going to be like ARCOM with secondary and then II right away

 

[drthedude]

I wonder when I can hear back about my app, might email them next week if I don’t hear anything

 

[raizmedschoolapps]

Received secondary 3 days ago

 

[mapvi]

Still no IIs here, right? I saw this on their website, but I'm assuming it's from last year: "Interviews will begin in late January and will conclude in April."

They also have conflicting info in the same paragraph (one sentence says interviews are virtual, then at the bottom it talks about on-campus interviews), so I'm guessing the website just hasn't been updated/reviewed?

Yeah I feel like that is according to last year bc I think this school is new and could’ve been added as a school to your application in December, so they started interviewing in Jan

Bruh I still don’t even have a secondary why we onto II 💆‍♀️

 

[helpmeouthere]

Bruh I still don’t even have a secondary why we onto II

[str3ssedpremedapplicant]

Secondary received 8/24, submitted just now! Wishing everyone the best of luck!

 

[dullprocedure]

For those that submitted secondary, did y’all get a complete email? If so, when

 

[mapvi]

No, I just got a secondary received email that said my documents were being reviewed. I checked the portal three days later and my status said "Application in Review" which hasn't changed since

 

[deleted994120]

I reached out to ask how long it would take to hear back after submitting the secondary and when interviews would start. I was told that it should take about 4 weeks and didn’t get a clear answer about interviews. Hope this helps!

 

[DoctorDirt]

Last time I called they said interviews would start in late September. So I assume II are going out soon?

 

[drthedude]

I still don't have a secondary... wah

 

[mapvi]

II just now, IS, complete 8/17

 

[Mamainmed]

I saw their website recommended a minimum of 4 community service activities. Has anyone gotten a secondary with less? I don’t want to waste money applying if there isn’t a chance.

i didn't even see that. i applied and haven't gotten a secondary. but i've heard they are somewhat lenient with requirements if you are close, like if you have 3 service activties and a lot of other things maybe?

Hmm wonder if that's why I haven't gotten a secondary...I have 3 very good ones

That's just listed under "recommended for increasing competitiveness." I don't meet all of the things that they have listed (including that one) and got a secondary pretty quick

Edit: I imagine just having a mixture of things on there in general helps, I doubt they expect most applicants to meet all of those
