UMKC 6 year BA/MD - class of 2011

<p>Now that I look at my last comment, I realize I did make a mistake- I wouldn't get the md thing either...but what I meant was since I'm desi, I want to be a doctor (hence the md) (lol). We're all here for moral support- I think we all tend to stress out a lot...which may not be so good for us; but I guess that's just how we roll.</p>

<p>hey guys, when im doing the online application, and i put the major 6 year med, i save it but when i go back to review my app, the major disappears. is this normal?</p>

<p>it did that on mine too but it still went through. i wouldn't worry about it.
isn't it great that stem cell passed? YAY STEM CELL!!</p>

<p>what if I'm pretty good in everything else (grades, extra curriculars recommendations, essays) , but I have only a 28 on the ACT. On their website they say that's the bare minimum. Will this affect me alot? I'm still waiting for my October ACT and I think I can pull a 29. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>sup, new here, i just read the whole 9 page thread, haha, trying to get as much info as possible... haha desi (md) good one, its true too, since im desi and i want to be an md! </p>

<p>so 29ACT and out of stater...i wonder wats the avg act score for out of staters</p>

<p>umm check out their site...i'm pretty sure it's 30 or 32. hahah you read the nine page thread.</p>

<p>What state are you from?</p>

<p>on the website I saw, it said 28. Is there a link to the page Aspen that may direct you to those stats? thanks!</p>

<p>Oops. My fault.

<p>It's a 28 ACT/ 1200 SAT</p>

<p>does the whole app have to be sent in by Nov. 15 (including the recs and test scores) or postmarked by that date? i have two recs from my teacher but am waiting for one more. she said she would finish by next week.</p>

<p>it says postmarked by NOV 15. Dont know what that means. Are you guys doing priority or rush delivery for the sat and act scores. SAT rush is so expensive- is it nevessary to rush it?</p>

<p>where does it say postmark by NOV. 15 (on paper app it says by nov 15) im gonna do it regular. i will call the office tommorow about the scores </p>

<p>one more quick question (if you dont mind). how long is your personal statment (so far mines is 322 words, about a page double spaced, planning to add on an extra half page)</p>

<p>mine is about 750 words. i hope that is not too much</p>

<p>umm i think there's a one page limit.</p>

<p>single spaced or double?</p>

<p>single...the word limit obviously varies when you're jus tlimited by a page</p>

<p>do you have to stick to one page or what. mine is one page and 1/4 the second page.</p>

<p>im from massachusetts. so when i was filling out the app, i didnt realize that you could type it up, so i handwrit it, but then it was too messy, so i dl'ed a program to type the essay on the pdf sheet, so thats wat i ended up doing. it looked rly nice, i just dont know if it conforms with the page limit hahaha. too bad for me, i already sent it in.</p>

<p>so can we send more than 3 recommendations, from pple besides teachers if we want?</p>

<p>what program did you use?</p>

<p>its called nitro pdf, and you have a 30 day evaluation period, so you can use everything on the program its pretty nice.</p>

<p>does anyone here know someone that has been accepted? and what was that persons stats?</p>
