Haha, I feel that. I was definitely in your shoes, even though I was finishing up my undergraduate education just mere months before orientation! I didn't get what people meant by "enjoy it" because I was so excited to jump in. Although the material in medical school is so cool and fun to learn, it really is a lot. Medical school is a different beast, and no matter how many people tell you that, you won't truly realize it until you experience it yourself. You'll honestly still have plenty of free time with the way Mizzou sets up their preclinical schedule, but it's still a chonky amount of material regardless! Weeks 6, 7, and 8 are going to be grinds, and you'll definitely miss that "dull" feeling you've got right now. I hope to see you around in August! It's crazy to think I'm 7 weeks away from becoming an M2. Time flies when you're having fun!!

Is most of the movement for the waitlist in April for Mizzou?

I'm assuming there will be very little until April 15th (when students have to narrow to top 3 choices), with a majority of it happening after April 30th (when students have to pick their final med school)!

Lol I was looking at my comment and it said purgatory and was super confused and tried to edit it but it goes back to “wait list”. Then I remembered today is April fools 😂

Can current speak on the financial aid timeline? Specifically, I got my financial aid offer (loans) this morning, but does that include scholarship consideration? The priority deadline was only 8 days ago, so I'm hoping scholarships are handled separately..

Usually, you get offered financial aid and scholarship offers at the same time (at least that's what happened for my class). If you didn't receive any scholarships in your award offer, that means you just received loans for the 2021-2022 academic year. It is, unfortunately, common for most students to only receive loans in their package as it is a state-funded program.

However, if funds magically arise, there are scholarships that you could receive before the start of M1! So, you might get notified of those too. Also, you can apply to scholarships outside MU Med and apply them to your financial aid! Feel free to DM me if you have any additional questions :)

I did not get a financial aid offer yet. Do you know if everyone gets it at the same time? Should I be checking my MIZ portal or something

Sadly there is not a lot of financial aid to go around at MU. I got a $1000 scholarship for having a family. There is a full-ride given out every-other-year (I believe) for students at need. Maybe a few other small things.

Remember this when you're making big bucks and those Mizzou Alumni calls start coming :D

Awesome congratulations! I was waiting to hear from anyone about movement since it's been pretty quiet lately. Still curious if anyone has any exact numbers or if they even give those out.

Hey everyone, I was accepted today!!! I was in-state and top third of the waitlist. I was eating lunch, then my phone died, so I put it on the charger, then 2 minutes later it turned back on and showed a voicemail and email from MizzouMed :)))) It's kinda funny that they happened to call during that super short timeframe. Anyways I'm so happy, and best of luck to everyone who is waiting on that special call!!!

Good morning everyone, I just got the call this morning. I have been pretty annoyed the last few days being on the wait list, but I hope you can hold on a little longer. It seems like there's been a lot of movement this week and I expect it to accelerate!

Based off last year's SDN posts, they got into the middle third of the WL by May 1 or 2 I think (so after the Apr 30 AMCAS deadline). In my personal opinion, considering how much movement has happened in the last few days, I would say that might be a good estimate for this year too. Best of luck to everyone still waiting! We're rooting for you!

Yeah I think even from just SDN about 9 people got off the waitlist so at most there are 33 people are on the waitlist for the first tier which is probably an overestimate since more people probably got off.

That's what I was thinking! At least within an hour or 2. Could carpool if needed. Anyone interested hmu. Also started a snapchat group but it's only 3 deep. Would be down for a groupme too.

Hmu, eagerly trying to organize anyone interested. Especially since this page has been significantly more active than the FB atm. I'll float myself if I have to, but hoping to meet some of yall 😂
 
Congratulations to all of the newly accepted students! If you have any questions, feel free to DM me or I can provide my email so you can email me. You're all going to be so great :) Can't wait to meet y'all in August!

Historically the M2s coordinate a float trip during the first few weeks of class, just in case you need more float trip in your life.
