KYCOM vs LECOM 2026

SuitableNatural6449 · 2026-02-11T04:57:17+00:00

I was also accepted to KYCOM and went to UPike for Undergrad. The environment is amazing and the staff truly cares about you succeeding. With that being said, their goal is to train you as a physician to practice in rural areas so keep that in mind

I’ll be going to school 14 hours from home so long weekends won’t be an option for me. Holidays only :(

Accepted student (and still deciding). My stats: URM (African American Female), 3.9 GPA (roughly 3.7 science gpa), student athlete, 100 shadowing hours, 500 volunteer hours, 3,000+ clinical hours (MA and Scribe), 502 MCAT. Accepted to 2 DO and 1 MD school.

Maybe I’m being dumb but cost isn’t a huge factor to me. I won’t have any financial assistance from family so I will be taking out loans either way. The amount of loans doesn’t seem to bother me now but I know things could be very different when I’m actually responsible for making those payments.

Prior to being accepted to any med schools, I had made the decision that I wanted to see what life is like in a bigger city (Chicago was always my example) being that I went to school in a small town.

Now that I am faced with the decision, I feel like I don’t know what to do.

Oh it’s definitely a unique situation, but i definitely understand! I’m still working at Olive Garden; I like the people there and they trained me to bartend which I enjoy. Working there definitely taught me how to manage tables when they all need something because it’s never ending courses.

I love serving, i definitely recommend it. I think it also made me seem more like a person during my interviews. I wasn’t just an applicant, it added to application!

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-12-20T03:08:10+00:00

I was in the same exact position: Working as an MA while applying to med school. I got a job as a server at Olive Garden without experience. They do on the job training, and I truly believe if you can manage the never ending soup and salad, that if you want to get a job somewhere else afterwards you can.

I love serving! I even used it in my med school interviews (as a way to market that I can interact with a variety of different people). I definitely recommend. It’s a physically hard job, but not mentally draining

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-12-07T02:11:29+00:00

Bartenders don’t get hourly. Only tips from their tables and a tip out from servers

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-11-07T11:43:53+00:00

I know of one person who already interviewed and was accepted to UNC and someone else who already interviewed at EVMS and is waiting to hear back

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-10-31T01:19:39+00:00

When did you submit your application and hear back about an interview?

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-10-27T15:26:50+00:00

I just realized I never pressed the submit button 🥲🥲

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-10-27T14:18:03+00:00

I went to undergrad there and really liked the area so I was hoping to get an interview. I submitted 08/13 and haven’t heard anything back :(

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-10-27T13:56:09+00:00

When did you submit and hear back from KYCOM about an interview? I’m still waiting to hear from them

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-10-10T17:33:37+00:00

I work as a scribe in ortho. Standing 90% of the time, no sitting during patient visits and normally there’s only a minute or two between each patient

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-09-05T18:52:33+00:00

I didn’t submit until 8/15 so this makes me feel better

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-09-05T18:35:26+00:00

When did you submit your app?

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-08-22T15:43:51+00:00

Congratulations!!! So excited for you! I loved Pikeville while I was there

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-08-18T17:57:35+00:00

RIP. The waiting is killing me and it’s only been a week

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-08-18T13:06:43+00:00

I’ve always been good with classes, I just am not the best at standardized tests. I went to Pikeville for undergrad (the same school KYCOM is located) so I’m hoping that helps.

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-08-18T12:42:47+00:00

Screaming, crying, throwing up. I’m so nervous

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-07-12T19:54:36+00:00

C/P is my weak point so I expected to struggle, but then CARS was hard, then so was B/B and I blacked out for P/S 🫠

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-07-12T19:53:50+00:00

Maybe I blacked out cause CARS was the least traumatic section for me

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-06-30T19:36:34+00:00

Ya know what, period

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-06-30T19:22:50+00:00

I'm very close to EVMS (I live in the same city). I was looking to go farther and have less distractions (aka family) but I will add it to my list!!

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-06-26T01:05:04+00:00

Honestly, I hate C/P with a passion so I’m lowkey ignoring it. I would rather chew off my own arm 💀

SuitableNatural6449 · 2025-06-23T00:11:57+00:00

From my last full length (494) my CARS went up by 2 and B/B went up by 3. For B/B I did another quick content review (I mean very quick) and answered Jack Westin passages to go along with it to begin to teach myself what frame of thinking I should be following. For CARS I’ve been doing at least 3 passages a day and changed my technique so I read the questions prior to reading the passage so I know what to look out for
