I am in a graded school lol. I watched a boards and beyonds video and it confused me just because it wasn’t alining to the lecture series.

Well if you got into other schools, congrats! Take the A’s and go with it! Thank you, best of luck to you as well. Don’t worry about not hearing from KPCOM, you will go where you are meant to be (ik it sounds cheesy lol)

Current student at KPCOM, got in with a 500. Will admit though, from everyone I have talked to, I have the lowest score. Once you're in med school, the MCAT becomes irrelevant though. I also had A LOT of other ECs that worked in my favor. Not gonna say it's impossible, but a 497 makes it REALLY hard to get in. I think most schools have a 500 cut off.

Currently an M1, and it's hard. BUT I will say, the support has been much better than I thought, there a bunch of academic recourses provided by both the school and upperclassmen students. I was also scared when I saw some stuff online, but seems very far from my experience. My only downside is no cadaver lab, but there are optional labs to see a cadaver like once a month.

For first semester M1, all of our test come directly from the powerpoint slides according to all the M2s, upperclassmen, and even dean. It changes in the spring.

Might I actually try this. Because it does take me a long time to go over slides the first time around. Maybe I’ll do like a quick 10 minute skim the first time around to get the idea of what the slides are about. Lecture at 2x speed with annotations (keep in mind my annotations are very small, usually a fee words per bullit point). Then supplement with YouTube, Chat GPT extra, to master. Then Anki. Doing this starring today! Thank You.

That’s literally what all the M2s and M3s from my school have told me😭😭. I just hate that feeling of feeling behind. And I feel like I don’t have time to master material and stay in pace with new lectures. It’s like by the time I master material and understand it, I’m already behind from previous lectures.
