coolinator Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Good Afternoon everyone. I just received an update email. It stated that applications of all students that interviewed are still being reviewed and that we'll hear by early march. I interviewed Saturday, December 12th at 7:45 am. Good luck everyone Best wishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA-S LP Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Hey, for those that did not receive an acceptance/rejection yet: Do you still apply for your FAFSA before the Californian deadline (March 2nd)? We do not even know if we will go to this school/get accepted after the deadline. We won't be able to receive financial aid for the first year if we apply after March 2nd? From FAFSA website: State Deadline California - For many state financial aid programs – March 2, 2016 by midnight, Central Time." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyttmab Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hey PA-S LP I'm not sure where you got that information but I believe most of us will be applying for federal financial aid, not state financial aid. I found this information: The Federal Aid Deadline is June 30, 2016 – no matter what state you live in. — The 2015-2016 School Year is from July 1st, 2015 – June 30th, 2016. — FAFSA on the Web applications must be submitted before or by midnight, 12:00 a.m. Central Standard Time on June 30,2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amm25 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I just applied for FAFSA and added all the schools I have not heard 'NOs' from to the list of schools for the aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizabeth26 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I just applied for FAFSA and added all the schools I have not heard 'NOs' from to the list of schools for the aid. Yes, I did the same! It's better to get your FAFSA in as soon as possible instead of waiting on a response from MBKU first. I know that one school I am still considering (until I hear from MBKU) has a priority deadline of March 2nd, so I got mine in last week. I believe you can add up to 10 schools on the FAFSA application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherlocktheCat Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Just got an email placing me on the alternate list. Congrats again to everyone who was accepted, here's hoping I'll be able to join your class! Also, they didn't list how many people were on the alternate list or what position they were ranked.

tabithalindsay Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Alternate list as well :( congrats to those that have been accepted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizabeth26 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I was placed on the alternate list as well :(, but trying to stay hopeful! I am wondering how many of us are on there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizabeth26 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Does anyone know if any applicants who have interviewed have been rejected? It seems as though no one has been rejected and no one has really been accepted in the past couple weeks either! I am hoping that those who have been accepted and know they do not want to attend MBKU, decline their offer quickly so that there can be some movement for those of us on the alternate list!

lyttmab Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I was interviewed in early December and received my rejection email on 3/2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabithalindsay Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Is there a top 10 alternate list this year? I read in the forums for previous years that some people were in that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizabeth26 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I was interviewed in early December and received my rejection email on 3/2. Sorry to hear that. :( Thank you for sharing with us though. I hope you have heard good news elsewhere! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizabeth26 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Has anyone been accepted in the past couple of weeks? Just wondering if they are waiting to see if those applicants put down deposits before they move on to the alternate list. And has anyone been accepted off the wait list??

elizabeth26 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Is there a top 10 alternate list this year? I read in the forums for previous years that some people were in that category. Not that I know of, but I could be wrong! I was thinking of calling admissions tomorrow to see if they can give any more information. Have you heard anything else since you received the alternate email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you heard anything else since you received the alternate email? Nope! I haven't heard anything at all! It really doesn't seem like anyone else received acceptances even though they said everyone would know by the beginning of March. It's already Mid-March!

elizabeth26 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Has anyone been accepted off the alternate list yet?! Also, to those of you who have been accepted to MBKU but know with 100% certainty that you will be attending a different program, I know that those of us on the alternate list would all appreciate it if you let MBKU know that asap, so that people don't have to be figuring out where they are going last minute! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolinator Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Thank you @elizabeth26 for reminding me to do that. I just emailed Leslie Lim. I opted out of the alternate list. I hope that makes room for some people Good luck everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kai Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Waitlisted as well. Looks like some people were accepted off the waitlist around May in past years so there's still some hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tdaps Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hey guys, I did not apply this cycle but I am interested in applying to MBKU. Does anyone know what stats they prioritize (i.e. USC prefers high volunteering hours whereas Stanford prefers extremely high HCE hours)? Just trying to get a stance on what schools I should be applying to and this is one of the programs where I've found little to no information about what they're primarily looking for. If you've been accepted or have any idea of the stats they specifically look for, please share. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolinator Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Personally I had both. 2 years of volunteered work at my local hospital and 18 months as an EMT. Also, I have a B.A in biochemistry. I interviewed and got wait listed. Hope that helps. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizabeth26 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Just a reminder for those of who are 100% attending a different program, to let MBKU know that as soon as you feel comfortable doing so! :) I know a lot of movement tends to happen in June/July but if you make that decision sooner, it could make a huge difference to those of us who would be moving out of state earlier than that if we don't get into MBKU!

tflan Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that I withdrew my acceptance to MBKU today after being offered a spot at my top choice. Cheers to the next person on the alternate list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
