Yeah this next week is going to kill me! I want to know so bad!
I want all of you who are waiting for a letter of acceptance/rejection to know that there is a possibility you could get a 3rd kind of letter: a letter saying you are an “alternate” on a waiting list, from which they may or may not accept students, based on the amount of accepted students decline the offer.
This letter will put you in limbo for a while longer, if you choose to wait.
Good luck to all of you, and remember that everything happens for a reason!
neo2000: here is a link to the UMKC scholarship page: [UMKC</a> Financial Aid and Scholarships Office :: Scholarship Opportunities](<a href=“http://www.sfa.umkc.edu/site/index.cfm?page_id=scholarships&st=n]UMKC”>http://www.sfa.umkc.edu/site/index.cfm?page_id=scholarships&st=n)
If you are out of state, you’ll like the “Nonresident Taxpayer Scholarship.” Be sure to check that one out.
As for what you should do-- you want to be a unique applicant, as well as be up to par with other applicants with a great GPA, rank, scores. What will make you a unique applicant? Your volunteering experiences, leadership experiences, clinical exposure, etc. They look for professional, mature applicants that know for sure that they want to pursue a career in medicine.

the emails they sent stated that they mailed the acceptance, rejection, and waitlisted notifications yesterday.
Quote:
did they send out an email at all, or only mail
mail only.
oooooooo…i thought you meant that they never sent you the email that said they sent out the accepted/rejected/waitlisted letters yesterday…oops!..nvm
has anyone else received the letter that’s not from in-state? This sunday (no mail) is really killing me
i’m from out of state and i haven’t received a letter yet. we will probably get our letters on monday or tuesday… =/
Can anyone who has been accepted tell me whether they are going or not and why? I’m having a hard time deciding whether to accept or not.
Can I just make a suggestion:
Make up your mind - there’s going to be tons of people who want to be in the program but are going to get waitlisted. If you don’t want to go to UMKC, let them know so one of those kids doesn’t commit to something else.
Yep thanks, already thought of that
I like how UMKC’s decision deadline is when most schools are just sending out their letters, real convenient.
i was just wondering, for the people who got accepted. did you guys get large or small envelopes? was it just a letter or did it come with a packet?
Awhislyle - when is the decision deadline?
April 10th… so yea there’s not much time to decide what you want to do.
It’s a packet.
What other schools are you waiting on?
