i think they’re cutting on the # of admissions b/c of my class (2013/first years). we’re 120ish students as of now and i don’t think that many ppl will be extending or dropping out from here on out (even if we are taking orgo this semester). apparently, and this is what everybody keeps on telling us, once we get to hospital hill (= 3rd yr), the class size is usually 100 or less. this is important b/c apparently they don’t have seating for more than 100 students or so. 2nd year class as of now is about 83 people so you can see that there is definitely a problem with the number of students. i guess too many of us accepted agreed to go here. anywhoo, don’t worry about the cut, seriously, if ur meant for this program (which they’re a pretty good judge of), u’ll get here and u’ll love it. just sit back and relax. you still have about what, 3 months before u hear anything? oh yeah, they interviewed the same amt of kids last year but i think 160 of us in total were accepted. think about this, no more than 40 kids turned down the offer of acceptance. that’s pretty high…
any other q’s (esp about 1st yr med or senior year hs?)
babanana: I read that you were waitlisted and you reapplied. I’m doing the same thing, I waitlisted last year and now i’m re applying this year. Was your interview different from the first time? Did they ask you questions like why you were applying again? Also, do you have a rough idea how many of the waitlisted kids do end up reapplying and about how many get in? Thanks
its awesome is what it is, haha! no MCAT, AND we get to see patients so early and so often–i’m so grateful to have at least a weekly reminder of why I’m here, and why medicine/health care is my passion

pinksquirrels: physics is not requires for admission into umkc som…all you need are three units of science, including one unit of biology and one unit of chemistry. and we don’t even takes a physics course as part of our curriculum (i have classmates who took it because they wanted their bachelors is something other than a BLA, but its definitely not required)
How much money does the “Nonresident Taxpayer Scholarship” actually cover?
jashbela: No interview yet. I left a message again but I didn’t get a reply.
Cookiefairy: I really, really hope they offer interviews until March, but when I talked to Ms. Morgenegg she said we should get one by this week if it’s coming at all.
