Applied, Withdrew
Kansas City University
Applying for combined PhD/MSTP? No
Submitted: Yes
Secondary Completed: No
Interview Invite: No
Interview Attended: No
Waitlisted: No
Accepted: No
Rejected: No
Summary of Experience:
Could never get the secondary to work right, so since I am sitting on 7 interviews I decided not to apply.
Summary of Experience:
DMU seems like a great school, but I don't feel like it is a school for me. I just didn't get that "special" feeling when I was there.
Not to surprised about the wait list, as I probably didn't seem to enthusiastic in the interview, because I knew I didn't want to attend.
Summary of Experience:
Had an awesome time at this school. The location was definitely the most beautiful area I interviewed at.
Ultimately I turned down UNE, but they were the final school I had it nailed down to before picking KCOM. I just felt like there were a few things that the school was lacking in, that KCOM wasn't.
Summary of Experience:
At the end of the interview day I knew KCOM was going to be in the running for me.
The education, resources, history and pride that come with attending KCOM ultimately won me over. KCOM is my final decision regarding osteopathic schools.
Summary of Experience:
I thought I bombed this interview, and I was really disappointed in myself because I loved AZCOM.
I have quite a few friends who go to AZCOM, and was ecstatic to get an acceptance here. Ultimately I felt that KCOM was a better school, and chose to that instead.
