KCU-COM accepts only the best and brightest every year, with total medical enrolment under 1,800 students annually. To be admitted as a KCU-COM student, you must show a diversity of accomplishments, talents, interests, and backgrounds. The school also looks for students who demonstrate academic excellence. A bachelor's degree and the MCAT are required for admission. The admissions team at KCU-COM spends time carefully evaluating applicants on criteria ranging from educational records and test scores to their commitment to osteopathic medicine, service, and leadership.

Knowing the competition for entry, the admissions team wants to see that you have thought through all options and scenarios if you do not earn acceptance into KCU-COM. How you respond to this type of question should show the admissions team that your interest in a medical career runs deep and that you would not give up if you received a rejection on your first attempt.

If you are not accepted, show the admissions team that it will not be the end of your journey. Perhaps you would take the time to upgrade, apply to new schools, or entertain a different path in the medical field. Alternatively, you can let the admissions interviewers know that one rejection won't stop you. Talk about your plan to qualify better and reapply when ready. Whichever way you respond, show the admissions team that you have the confidence and drive to achieve your goals.
