I had 3 complete sets and two extra pants. Got them all at walmart for $6 a piece and it worked out great, even with our busiest anatomy sections. By the end of the year, I just wore scrub pants and a tshirt/long sleeve because it's freezing down there lol.

Thank you! Does the smell come out of the scrubs in the wash or did you trash them after?

I believe I started that trend.
On average, how long does someone who is efficient with their time spend studying each day?

It depends a lot on the section! You can probably count on doing *really focused* "school stuff" for 8-10 hours per day -- going to class, going to lab, studying. More for anatomy-heavy sections and less for lighter sections like Endo. On a weekend before an exam it could be more like 12-14 hours per day.
I have always taken Friday nights off (with my fiancé) and Sunday dinners off (with my parents) and have never had a problem, even before exams. I'm a solid B/B- student but my free time is worth it to me, and I've never worried about passing.
Sunday dinners with parents! Lucky. I miss those days haha

Do you wanna be in the top 10% of your class or just pass? It ranges...if you wanna do really well and get A in your classes, it takes much more time obviously.

I guess what I am trying to ask is if it is possible to be in the top 10% of your class and still have free time.

Like @AlteredScale said, it ranges. However, I am pretty sure that nobody in the top 10% is doing that without studying a ton. You gotta realize that EVERYONE in your class was in the top of their class in undergrad and then most "kick it up a notch" when they get to med school. Also realize that depending on what your goals are, class rank may not be important. However, it is always good to do well in courses because it will likely roll over into your board scores and that is what is more important.
PM me if you would like more specific info.
Thats a hard question to answer because each student has a different way of learning and applying the material. Some can look at stuff once and do well (thus dont need as much time) while others need multiple passes of material and use multiple resources to do well (so have much less free time ).
Of the peeps i know who are at or near the top 10% they work their butt off all the time.

(Oh, I'm also in the Bioethics dual degree, which takes about 4-6 hours per week including class!)
Just curious, how much more $ is the bioethics dual degree a semester/year?
Anyone else from Cali plan on driving to KC? Looking forward to the road trip.
*Edit. Also, can anyone comment on whether or not I would need to make any changes regarding state license plates, driver's license, etc when moving to KC from CA. Thanks

So Dr Dubin is leaving KCU? What's up with that? I'm kind of annoyed because that was one of the reasons I chose KCU? Any changes going to be made and is the curriculum going to stay as is?

Yes, Dr. Dubin is leaving "due to personal issues related to his health." I don't see any changes in the curriculum happening soon.

That is too bad. I hope he is doing okay with his medical issues. He seemed like a straight shooter and had our best interests in mind!
Personally, I think that the curriculum's state will depend on upcoming MS2's board performance.

Agreed. I guess what I was trying to say is that I would expect any curriculum to favor that in which correlates with higher board scores. Regardless of who is Dean. If that makes any sense..

It does...and since it is so new, there is no reason for the school to just change it. I honestly don't think you guys have anything to worry about. Regardless of where you go (except the Caribbean)...if you study hard you will be successful.

I heard at accept day that the schedule was already done for this coming year
Dr. Dubin is resigning? Does anyone have any word on this? I was really looking forward to having him as a Dean.
From an email today:
Dr. Bruce Dubin will be resigning from his position as Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs, Provost and Dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine due to personal health issues. In the interim, Michael Johnston, DO, Vice Dean for the COM will serve as Dean. Some of you may have met Dr. Johnston already, he has been with the university for over 25 years and his specialty is internal medicine.

Is big bro/sis a 1:1 assignment?
Sent from my iPhone using SDN mobile app
A big sib can request more than 1 little sib if they want. At least that's how it was when I had to fill out the form.
what does the unfortunate mean?I think you got the word in that email. Nobody knows anymore than that at this point. I doubt much will change since his people he brought with him are still in place. Unfortunate.

I called Admissions today in regards to this for matriculation requirements:
Official Transcripts(COM, COB and Bioethics)- Deadline: July 1, 2016
Important: All official transcripts need to be sent to Office of Admissions. You must include degree conferment dates (if applicable). Transcripts sent to AACOMAS for your COM application are not forwarded to our Office of Admissions. You must have official copies sent directly to us from all college/universities attended.
Just so you know, you do not need to resend your transcripts if you did not take/complete any new courses since submitting your AACOMAS. Obviously you need to resend if you finished some pre-reqs recently or just completed Spring 2016 courses and graduated (class of 2016). I graduated last May (class of 2015) and have not taken any courses since, so they said I do not need to resend my transcript. I just wanted to let people know because I know it usually costs $ to send official transcripts and I thought it was a little confusing and unclear on the website.

It does say though that official transcripts aren't forwarded from AACOMAS, and I would think they would need to have the official stamped transcripts and not just the version they get from AACOMAS. Did you get this info directly from the admissions office?
