***Official Thread for 2015 BSMD applicants***

<p>Hey guys I remember seeing a comment saying that OOS students basically have no hope if they miss the Oct. 15 deadline and apply by the Nov. 1st deadline to UMKC (I don’t remember if it was this thread or a different one). However, that is not the case. Here’s what the BA/MD application website says: </p>

<p>From: Admissions Office
at 10/15/2014 10:50:35 AM</p>

<p>Dear _____________, </p>

<p>Thank you for beginning the process of applying to the UMKC School of Medicine B.A./M.D. Program. As a reminder:</p>

<p>OCTOBER 15: EARLY NOTIFICATION DEADLINE</p>

<p>Students who submit all applications and application materials by this deadline will be notified of their interview status by late-December. In order to be considered complete by the Early Notification Deadline, the following applications and application materials must be submitted by October 15:</p>

<p>General Application for Admission to UMKC,
School of Medicine Online Supplemental Application,
High school transcripts,
ACT/SAT scores,
Complete reference forms from at least three recommenders.
NOVEMBER 1: FINAL APPLICATION DEADLINE</p>

<p>------------> For those students who do not meet the October 15 Early Notification Deadline, all applications and application materials must be submitted by November 1 (this includes reference forms, high school transcript, and test scores). Applications that become complete after the November 1 deadline will be reviewed with other late applicants and only if space is available. Applications that remain incomplete will not be considered for admission.</p>

<p>Students who do not meet the Early Notification Deadline but are complete by November 1 will be notified of their interview status in late January. <------------</p>

<p>To access all applications and application instructions, please go to <a href=“http://med.umkc.edu/bamd/apply/”>http://med.umkc.edu/bamd/apply/&lt;/a&gt;. If you have any questions about your application or the application process, please feel free to contact us.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>UMKC School of Medicine Office of Admissions</p>

<p>Just felt that it was necessary to be reposted due to some misunderstanding. I know it did not specify anything about the admission rates of OOS students.</p>

<p>@shyamalee‌ just out of curiosity, if you dont mind me asking - how did you find out about UMKC sending decisions this week? </p>

163

<p>I also heard that if you are rejected, you should receive a letter in the mail saying so. If not, then you should check your email by next week for any email from UMKC. You probably won’t get anything in the mail if you are accepted. From hearing that and being informed that I will be receiving something in the mail, I most likely did not get accepted. </p>

164

<p>@in2llect‌ My mom called their office Friday afternoon asking about my application status. They wouldn’t disclose any information regarding my acceptance/rejection, but they did mention what I posted above.</p>

165

<p>@shyamalee‌ I got the email on November 17th. It was the first email sent from RPI, and all it gave was my ID information and my major was noted as BIAM (the bsmd one).</p>

<p>@in2llect‌ mine shows nothing. It’s normal I presume. Also, guess I’ll be calling u Miami tomorrow (if something got messed up I’ll cry)</p>

166

<p>@innocentwanderer‌ Thank you! I got that too! :)</p>

167

<p>people who had NJIT interview: can you tell me what building is the interview held? I was only told the room number without building name.
thanks</p>

168

<p>@QQQ1997‌ Could you tell me more about NJIT’s accelerated med program? I did not know they had one and realize that it’s too late to apply now.</p>

169

<p>@shyamalee NJIT/NJMS, yeah, it’s too late to apply</p>

171

<p>Did anyone receive confirmation from UConn bs/md program after submitting the application. My son received confirmation for undergraduate portion submitted through Commonapp, but not for the program.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

172

<p>@bsmdcan‌ I have no received anything yet but ill let you know if I do. I am calling the school tomorrow to see what’s up. </p>

173

<p>UConn is like a black hole, so far nothing comes out of it.</p>

174

<p>@shyamalee‌ when your mom called UMKC do you know if they said an admission decision has already been made for you? I called today and they said my application is “still under further review”…even though I submitted before Oct 15 deadline</p>

175

<p>@in2llect‌ I honestly have no idea. My mom isn’t really straightforward with me at times like this, but today I got a letter in the mail saying that I’ve been accepted into the school. You should know your interview status later this month since you applied in October. Since I applied by the November 1st deadline, I would know that in January. Acceptance is a 3 step process at the school: 1- to the school, 2- interview, 3- acceptance into the BA/MD program. </p>

176

<p>Has anyone applied to Northeast Ohio or Howard University’s 6 year programs?</p>

177

<p>@shyamalee‌ I thought you were referring to your BS/MD interview acceptance in your prior message - that makes sense now. I’m applying to NEOMED RD (but OOS candidates seem to have a very unlikely chance of getting in at any rate, so…)</p>

178

<p>And just a reminder, if you do not get accepted into these BA/MD programs, do not feel bad. These programs are very competitive. Make sure to have “safety” schools on your list. If it makes anyone feel better, I highly doubt I’ll get accepted into any of the ones I’ve already applied to with a 28 ACT. </p>

179

<p>@in2llect‌ what state are you from? I’m from Florida. And I concur! BA/MD programs offered at public/state schools are so hard for OOS students to get into, even if the applicants are well qualified. Of all the schools offering accelerated med programs, NeoMed has some of the best OOS acceptance stats tho, but a $195 app fee? That’s outrageous!</p>

<p>Anyone who applied to the SBU/GWU program hear back because they said they should give back decisions in 4 weeks but haven’t heard anything yet. </p>
