I cannot STOP checking my email. Does anyone know how many spots are available and how many people interviewed?

I believe they interviewed about 120 people for 40 spots (assuming they got approved for the new campus).

TBH you are "overqualified" for UMKC and they didn't think you would attend if accepted. It's a dance between applying to schools you look good to but also not too good. There's a difference between safety schools and school you are too far above their means

Just got an email that says they are approved for BOTH campuses and to fill out a form to express my interest in one or both campuses. No acceptance yet, though.

Doesn't that mean we are technically accepted but they are just placing us into specific campuses?

I also got this email, but I am curious if everyone who interviewed got this email as well. If not, then I'd be leaning towards saying it is an acceptance? The waiting game continues o_O

I received the same message. I think it's saying that they will decide who they accept based on our responses. Either way, the email was incredibly vague and gave us hardly any information.

Does anyone know how long we have to officially accept an offer to matriculate? I know they said 14 days, but for other schools, don't you also have 14 days to submit a payment to reserve your seat, and then have until April to make your official selection? When is the official selection deadline for UMKC?
 
Man - two rejections from my alma mater in one day! Lucky me...

The first one said “physician assistant” instead of “physician” at the end of the first paragraph.

Same here. I was really hoping today would be the day. Now, I just hope we will hear back by the end of the week.

Probably. Also, could be because they just received approval for 20 more seats, and the deadline for applicants to submit their campus selection was this Monday. Understandably, that is a lot to process and a lot of applicants to review. Hoping for some good news!
 
guys, UMKC has been sending emails at the end of the day. around 5 or 6 pm. so hold tight

Oh really? That is reassuring. Would you mind sharing how you know this information?
I tried to look for the time stamps in previous years' threads and there were none. Only found one person in 2014 thread saying they got an email around 1:45pm, and another person in 2017 thread saying they got an email around 12:20pm.

Just to give some perspective, I received my acceptance email from UMKC the evening of Oct 30th the year I was accepted (also wasn't wait-listed or anything). But who knows what time of day they will come! This year has been quite the rollercoaster.

I don't know how often, but from the previous threads on UMKC that I saw, I saw that quite a few people did get acceptances from the waitlist. Best of luck to everyone!

A lot of schools say usually the top 1/3 get off, the middle 1/3 is up in the air, and the bottom 1/3 usually don’t. But schools don’t disclose their waitlist ranking, so it’s impossible to tell.
