For WL individuals, does it say your position? I feel that may require a call or email.
They said we have to wait until tomorrow to ask 😩For WL individuals, does it say your position? I feel that may require a call or email.
Get this... checked my spam and my top email's subject line..............Wayfair also thought now was a good time to give me an ad for "decor you'll LOVE" but what they didn't know is they also gave me a dangerous blood pressure level and heart rate
They said theyd tell us what third we’re in but not exact positionFor WL individuals, does it say your position? I feel that may require a call or email.
Man I am really sorry to here, cause I believe you were really hoping to go back home. I am very happy you got an acceptance elsewhere! <3I got the R as well. I have 1 acceptance this cycle though, so looks like I'm staying put here in San Antonio!

There is a 4th year here who had to apply to med school 4 or 5 times and she's a rock star.I have gotten the R two years in a row now this sucks. Going to apply again unless I get accepted elsewhere
Was one with an R. Does anyone know what a re-app with an improved MCAT and some more volunteering (hopefully clinical if possible) could do for me? I say that because I'd like to apply next year as I think that I am not too far from being really considered. However, there is only so much time to improve for the next cycle. I understand I should have been doing something this cycle expecting a re-app but I would say I need more clinical exposure, which is hard to do right now...There is a 4th year here who had to apply to med school 4 or 5 times and she's a rock star.
It's discouraging, I know. If you have to reapply try to get as many people as you can to look at your application. Really look for those weak points and do what you can to fix them.
Good luck!
What time did they notify you that you were placed on the waitlist?WL, I wish they just made it easier on us and let us know our chances and ended our misery faster.
Nah I was about to comment the same. That it seemed around half of the WL got As. Good luck to my friends on the WL. Were waiting for you <3Now that I think about it that’s actually crazy because I think their waitlist comprises another 128 students so that would mean literally half of the people got off the waitlist. Correct me if I’m wrong tho since I’m not exactly sure about how many people are on the waitlist.
*raises hand* MU rejected me first time I applied, accepted 2nd time, so it's definitely possible.Was one with an R.

Do you mind sharing what you think got you over the hump? Was it stats or was it an experience that you missed out on before but learned from later on?*raises hand* MU rejected me first time I applied, accepted 2nd time, so it's definitely possible.
Take a good hard look at your application. Have professors, pre-med advisors, physicians you know look at your app. Be really critical and try to find your weaknesses, cause that's what the admissions committee will do. My feeling is that MU values this self-reflection and self-improvement, as it is a pretty substantial part of how PBL is based (your ability to self-study and focus your efforts on what is going to work best for you).
Good luck
WL for me too :/ I think I would wait til Saturday at least because the email said “you may respond to this email after Friday, March 5”For anyone who was WL, I noticed the email said you can email them after Friday, March 5th. Are you waiting until Saturday to email or going for it tomorrow?
Yeah it sounds like we should wait until Saturday, but I know all I'm gonna be doing this weekend is wondering what part of the WL I'm on and if I actually have a chance to get in 🙃WL for me too :/ I think I would wait til Saturday at least because the email said “you may respond to this email after Friday, March 5”
For me it was experience. I had a lot of shadowing but no time in a hospital. They wanted to see how I worked in that environment.Do you mind sharing what you think got you over the hump? Was it stats or was it an experience that you missed out on before but learned from later on?
Mhmm I think that's what I need. But.. covid.. erggghhFor me it was experience. I had a lot of shadowing but no time in a hospital. They wanted to see how I worked in that environment.
128, they made it through half of that last year, so if you're in the top third your odds are pretty good, middle third is 50/50, bottom third is less likely.WL for me, I emailed today and asked for my spot and they replied within the hour!
Does anyone have any sort of clue approximately how many applicants they keep on the waitlist?
Thank you!! I'm in the middle third so I'm going to pray to the med school gods lol128, they made it through half of that last year, so if you're in the top third your odds are pretty good, middle third is 50/50, bottom third is less likely.

I was actually just looking through previous year's threads after they emailed back this morning. For IS people on the waitlist, it looked like they made it through the first third by about April 30th, after that people from the second third started to report having heard back. For OOS, it looks like it takes a little longer to get through the first thirdCan any current mizzou med students talk about them being on the top 1/3 of the alternate list and when they got off it. Also rooming situations kinda scares me knowing so late. Thanks!!!
Well, they specifically say no and suggests “introspection “! I personally think it was a poorly written rejection email. Happened to a candidate with well above median qualifications for them and who felt that the interview went well , so it’s hard to figure out what to go improve. I wish all schools would give some feedback.Congrats to everybody who was accepted!
Does mizzou offer interview feedback if you're waitlisted/ don't get accepted off the waitlist?
Technically they do give feedback but it’s not free. I think it’s like medprep or something like that.Well, they specifically say no and suggests “introspection “!

I'm not sure yet. Are second look days generally helpful?Anyone attending second look?
It is primarily designed for us to convince you to choose us if you are sitting on multiple acceptances. But you are welcome to come even if you 100% know you are going to attend.I'm not sure yet. Are second look days generally helpful?
Do you know if their are two different wait list for instate and one for out-of-state?It is primarily designed for us to convince you to choose us if you are sitting on multiple acceptances. But you are welcome to come even if you 100% know you are going to attend.
I attended as an incoming M1 and have helped with it in previous years. I think it's a fun little event. I mean you get free food, get to practice some clinical skills (intubation, IV placement), practice PBL, more free food.
Fun event if you can manage it.
I believe there are 2 separate lists, or at least there was when I applied. Movement on the lists are independent of each other, so when an OOS person declines, they go to only the OOS waitlist, etc.Do you know if their are two different wait list for instate and one for out-of-state?
Was this by phone call or email?Accepted off the waitlist this morning! IS top third! Good luck to everyone on the waitlist - hang in there!!
Both! I missed the call, so Blair left a voicemail and I received an acceptance email right after.Was this by phone call or email?
Congrats!!!!!!!JUST GOT AN ACCEPTANCE! (for MU's MD/PHD program!)
Planning on it. Decided 100% to attend already but mock PBL sounded interesting.Anyone attending second look?

I'm at 90% but: cost cost and costFor those of you 100% planning on attending MizzouMed, what was the biggest deciding factor for you? What are the pros that made you want to commit?
PBL. The strength of their present diversity and inclusion program (been super impressed with how much they've reached out), cost (though I recently found out I'm receiving a full ride, I still felt this way before that). I've had really positive interactions with all staff I've met. My interviewers were exceptional and super engaging. Cost of living is remarkably low as well (which ultimately also means reduced loans). The facilities in the New building are beautiful. Also had some great conversations with a few students at the diversity & inclusion night; they were super real about concerns and were thoughtful, not hard sellers that gloss over issues. Besides that, it's pretty nice that I won't be too far from family and friends.For those of you 100% planning on attending MizzouMed, what was the biggest deciding factor for you?

Can't wait! Going a bit stir crazy in this super dull transition time (only have 1 class). I know everyone's like "enjoy it," but I think having so much downtime during a pandemic is really what's doing it, not necessarily that just that I'm eager to learn 😅We didn't have a second look day for our M1 class as COVID locked down the country around the time we were scheduled to do it. So, we got to do a mock PBL case during our orientation week, and it was so FUN! You start to really feel like you're in medical school, and you're on your way to being a doctor. Enjoy the experience!!
