I could not find a thread for UMKC so I have created one. Please let me know if one already exists
Hi PackingChord.Welcome wjc! May I ask why you decided to only apply to UMKC. How many schools did you apply to last year?
Good luck to you as well!Wow. We have very similar stories. I am also a non-traditional student working on my second degree. I will be turning 35 and I am married with 2 small children. It is also difficult for me to move outside of Missouri because my wife is a practicing dentist who graduated from UMKC in 2013. This is my first year applying and I am hopeful that an interview invite will land in my email inbox. The best of luck to you in this journey
How long after your application was sent by AADSAS did you get an email from them? I checked last year and it was about 2 weeks. Was it about the same for you this year?I received an email stating they received my app on 7/9/15 and I received the supplemental email on 7/14/15. I filled it out and paid the fee within an hour of receiving it and haven't heard anything since
My application was also mailed last week and i haven't heard anything back yet.How long after your application was sent by AADSAS did you get an email from them? I checked last year and it was about 2 weeks. Was it about the same for you this year?
My application was mailed last week. The wait is agonizing.
Congratulations! What day of the week did they schedule it for? I travel for work so I am a little concerned about this. I've heard Monday is the usual day in past cycles.I got an interview invite last Thursday (9/3)!!! Im super happy for that email!
I am a Mo resident.
If I recall, the application deadline is Oct 1, so I expect they are still doing invites. Correct me if I am wrong.Does anyone know if they have sent out all the interview invites?
Typically dental schools send invites well into February/March. I'm not sure about UMKC specifically but usually that's the case.If I recall, the application deadline is Oct 1, so I expect they are still doing invites. Correct me if I am wrong.
From my application received email: "interview invitations will be sent to students from late August thru October."Typically dental schools send invites well into February/March. I'm not sure about UMKC specifically but usually that's the case.
This is a true story. The school DOES send out interview invites in January and early feb too but it is rare and usually only for those on a wait list or reserved admissionsFrom my application received email: "interview invitations will be sent to students from late August thru October."
So, keep your fingers crossed everyone.
There is no telling. From having been through this process before I can tell you that they sent out a wave of rejections around Oct 9 last year, a week after the application deadline. My guess is that they act pretty quickly with applications they really like, and then judge the applications that remain by comparing them to the pool of applications that they have once the application deadline is reached. That's my theory anyway.Just curious if someone puts in a application later than you and has already gotten an interview, does that typically mean you've been passed on?
Interview on Oct. 23rd! anyone else?
Oh also quick question. Did you get to pick your interview date or did they schedule it for you? I also heard somewhere that UMKC only schedules interviews on Mondays. I'm assuming this is false.I will be there!! I have saved a dancing banana for this occasion!
You call and choose from the dates still available. The calendar on UMKC.edu shows interviews happening on OCT 12, 14, 19, 23, 26 and the last on Nov. 2nd. I think there was 11 or 12 students present the day i interviewed.Oh also quick question. Did you get to pick your interview date or did they schedule it for you?
