[Mkensin]

[H_Scheck]

Unchanged, saw that coming. Congrats to those that were accepted this month

 

[blueshockey555]

where can you check status? can someone link me?

 

[C.Harris713]

Interview 10/25 and accepted yesterday afternoon!

 

[Immunorunner]

where can you check status? can someone link me?

No portal to check status, have to wait on phone/email communication from the school.

 

[Mkensin]

Did anyone ever figure out the amount of people they decided to accept each month?

 

[DrDwayneJohnson]

Did anyone ever figure out the amount of people they decided to accept each month?

They accepted 12 in the month of October. Not necessarily the amount they’ll accept in the following months. My guess is that it’ll be between 8-12 people in the following months.

 

[cme262]

So do they deny people at the end of each month as well, or will everyone not accepted be "unchanged" until March?

No one gets denied until March. I was waitlisted last year and just got status unchanged for like 4 months

Oh. I was under the impression that they did reject a certain amount of people each month.

 

[H_Scheck]

Oh. I was under the impression that they did reject a certain amount of people each month.

Maybe one of the current MU students could help us out :/ I am almost 96% certain this is how they do it . . . but I have been known to be mistaken before. In this instance lets hope I am mistaken

 

[Immunorunner]

At my interview day they said no one is getting rejected (post-interview that is) 'till the final day when they fill up the class and make the wait list.

How do you know?

 

[DrDwayneJohnson]

How do you know?

A little bit of legilimency and a lot of the Director of Admissions telling me

 

[Fascie]

II today! OOS but I've been living in MO for the past 5 years so have some ties.

 

[blueshockey555]

II next month, do you guys believe the high average STEP score at Mizzou? How is it possible they are so high for their step average?

When were you complete?

 

[Fascie]

When were you complete?

Mid-late August

Step average is real. @DougStamper is right about the exams. Faculty attribute it to PBL. There are a few schools of thought on this, 1. that it allows more free time (to study etc.) and 2. that integrating material (i.e. getting pharm-micro-anatomy-systems-genetics-clinical application-etc.) works better than learning in chunks (a la our neighbor SLU).

 

[Sephirakra]

II for next month! Did not see it coming, but am definitely excited about it.

IS or OOS and when complete?

 

[happytofubear]

Do they rank a candidate only one time out of the whole cycle? Or do they re-rank them as they meet every week?

Congrats! What date?

 

[Monkitty]

Do they rank a candidate only one time out of the whole cycle? Or do they re-rank them as they meet every week?

Just once. At the end of the week you interview, they review and rank all the applicants from that week. At that point your file is closed; they will not revisit or readjust your ranking.

I'm surprised more people on SDN aren't applying to this school. Personally, I want to go here. I was told my application was going before the admissions committee this week

[LizzyBeth2282]

Pre interview

 

[Hadstuff]

[LizzyBeth2282]

PM me

 

[Hadstuff]

II just now! Instate Resident, Super excited about this school!

 

[Doc Love]

Got accepted to another medical school in my hometown and will be withdrawing my interview invitation here. Good luck to you all!

 

[happytofubear]

What day would it be this month?

 

[Immunorunner]

What day would it be this month?

The first batch went out the last Friday of October

 

[DrDwayneJohnson]

The first batch went out the last Friday of October

That's next Friday for us waiting in November, but that's Black Friday so I assume we'll be waiting until 12/1 my peeps.

 

[Immunorunner]

Best of luck to those waiting this month!

 

[DrDwayneJohnson]

What about tomorrow?

I guess they could... but that’s leaving out a lot of interviewees from Nov

 

[Diverdude93]

Yeah my guess is that we will be waiting until 12/1 unfortunately

 

[Ravenclaw prefect]

Anyone here interviewing on 12/12?

 

[futuredoc_1]

Interviewed here yesterday! The interview went well. I loved the school!

 

[H_Scheck]

I think decisions may come out today for all those that have interviewed. Best of luck all!

 

[DrDwayneJohnson]

Does anyone know what time decisions came out last month?

 

[H_Scheck]

Does anyone know what time decisions came out last month?

I think most of the Status Unchanged ones went out about 3-4 and those that got accepted got phone calls mid-morning to early afternoon.

 

[Mkensin]

Status unchanged. I will be withdrawing my application as I’ve been accepted elsewhere. I wish you all the best!

 

[Immunorunner]

Does anyone know what time decisions came out last month?

I was called about 2:30 central time
