does anyone know when they will mail the decision letter? Is it April 1st?

I had my interview on Monday, Mary Anne Morgenegg said that decisions will be mailed and e-mailed on April 1st. This is so nerve racking. I hate the waiting.

How was the interview?

jessetfan

I'm not too sure how the interview with the M.D. was, my interview with the Ph.D. went really well. I loved the school and I think I did well on the chemistry exam. I know that if I am accepted to this program I will attend because of the way it works. The students, as well as everyone else in the city, were very friendly. I'm really hoping to get accepted, and the wait is going to be torture.

patelakshar

yeah...the same...this wait has got to be the worst part of the process.

Wow, I am totally freaking out about this admission. (Melody, I bothered you on AIM back in like November. You were so helpful then just like you are now - you're an admissions angel. Thanks again.)

I live in California (but I think my file has me as instate because my dad lives there) and I was visiting over Christmas break so I called Mary Anne dozens of times from like September through November and she never seemed to get annoyed. I was able to schedule a special early interview on like the 21st of December. There was one other person there that day. I was very nervous about the Toledo exam because I hadn't taken chemistry in a while. I did buy a little review book and I read it like mad for the preceding days. (I would be totally willing to give up my trip to Australia to take the Chemistry class over the summer, but I am at a loss as to where I would be living then).

Both of my interviews went very well (even the one with the Dean of Admissions, the MD.). They told me that I'd have it really hard because of the extra long wait. I'm so glad that I found this site and I know that I'll be hearing on April first via e-mail. I'm getting other acceptance letters now but everyday I've been like leaving my ear at the door to listen for mail. Now at least I know when judgment day is.

I just want to get into this program so badly. It is absolutely perfect for me and I knew that without any doubts the first day that I got the little pamphlet about it. Best of luck to everyone else waiting for either their interviews or April 1st.

I'll be checking up on this thread often. Hopefully I'll get the chance to get to know some of you come next fall.

Haha... you guys never bother me.... the idea of that is ridiculous!

Anyway... you all have to go through a long, torturous wait... but I, however, have SPRING BREAK!!! Whoa... that so just rhymed....

Hang in there... the last couple months of senior year make up for the unmercifully slow and painful process that is snail mail!

Shouldn't prom be coming up soon? Why don't you guys go party???

liznowen

I saw you come online a few minutes ago but I assumed you were asleep (it's late there!!). My senior year is just totally going so slow, all of it. My classes have actually begun to go faster now in second semester. Spring break is in like two weeks for me but it's only a week long break. My school schedule is really lame. We don't have anything at all in April. Our prom is June 4th, JUNE FOURTH. That is insanely late!

jessetfan

I know how you feel about school going faster, but the rest of life going really slow. I can't wait until April 1st, it's driving me crazy. I'm with you in that I know I want to go to this program as it fits me perfectly. I'm starting to get acceptances now too, but it seems like they don't matter as much as this program, this seems to be THE acceptance to get. I have a feeling I'll be driving everyone crazy through the month of March. I hope everyone on this board gets in, everyone seems like such great applicants.

i have a question: if we need to take the chemistry class in the summer, do we have to take it at umkc or can we take it at home and transfer it?

liznowen

I'm pretty sure you have to take it there. That's why I was wondering where I'd live if I had to do that. (I do remember asking them and them saying that it had to be their class but who really knows.)

Hi Melodious. I just recently got a call back for an interview, and while, I was reading the previous posts, I noticed a few references to certain questions to practice before the interview. What are these questions?

cooldude1818

Does anyone know what AP exams will be accepted for the BS/MD program...

Like if I take Chemistry, and Biology..will I get any credit?

patelakshar

Yes. The Medical School will accept up to 30 credits. Here are the equivalents:

Remember that the credit you get for a certain test (ie. AP BIO) may not be a required course in the med program and as such does you no good.
A sample course schedule is here:

Melodious must be away. I got the impression that some of the other applicants had knowledge of questions beforehand. Is there some sort of list of questions that I am not aware of. My interview is in a couple of days.
