This is the new ATSU school in Kirksville. I was wondering if anyone knows where they are at. I sent an email about a month ago and back then they said they were going to start pulling stats from AADSAS in about 2 weeks. I was hoping someone may have some info on where they are at with apps. Thanks in advance.
 
Yeah I called as well and they said they were working slowly. Since they're new I'm sure they will take a while more. Nothing to be really worried about though!
 
i got rejected by mail a couple weeks ago.

really? are you sure it wasn't ASDOH school did sent it? I know ASDOH sent out rejection letters via mail.
 
I spent four years in Kirksville in the past for undergraduate. It is a wonderful small town, but not a good place to be if you're interested in shopping (not that there is time to in DS!). I couldn't think of place that has ever grown on me more.
 
Any new news on MOSDOH? Secondary applications? Interviews? Rejections?

I've emailed them Thursday, Sept. 13. and this was her response. "We are hoping to get the secondary applications sent out within the next 2-3 weeks."

i talked to someone on the phone yesterday, and they're still in the same place they have been...'hoping to get the secondary out in about 3 weeks.' they don't want to send the secondaries out until they get initial accreditation. the school isn't built yet, so they have a long way to go to get that first class in the door

she also said the only way you would have received a rejection already is for a low gpa
 
I havent even heard of anyone being rejected.

I suppose if I don't hear anything in another 1-2 weeks I will shoot them an email.
 
Anything new? I e-mailed them Sept 18 and was told they were still postponed. I'm starting to get a little nervous!
 
It's so late in the cycle I am starting to wonder if they are even going to interview students for next fall. Anyone hear anything?
 
Just spoke with someone. She said it will all hopefully be straightened out by next week. 👍
 
Any secondaries sent out yet??? Interviews, rejection... any peep?!
 
Are they waiting on initial accreditation before interviews? I hope not. Not for my sake, it just seems kind of lame for those applying. Unless you're gung-ho on MOSDOH (see what I did there?), you may be accepted and deposited before they get around to it.

Pretty soon they will have to just get over the issues they are having and invite people for interviews. I believe that they have secondaries and the longer they drag things out, the less interested highly qualified applicants become due to acceptances at other schools. Maybe this is a great opportunity for people who haven't had any interviews and won't get any acceptances around Dec.3. I just want my money back haha!

Good point. If you just want in somewhere and aren't getting any bites, may as well try. I'm betting on solid clinical exposure here. I'd assume there will be withdrawn applications (or interview declines) come December/January.
 
So I received this email today from Ms. Wiggans.
"MOSDOH will be sending secondary applications out within the next couple of weeks."

Better then, "MOSDOH is still on temporary hold. We are hoping to get secondary applications sent out within the next 2-3 weeks, but it may take more time or less time depending on when everything gets finalized."

Or.. are they just sugar coating it?
 
How come I don't get any email from them!

Because I bother the crap out of them! LOL! I've just been updating my application with current grades/EC/etc. and asking about the status of my application at the same time. That's the only reason I've received an email.
 
I have no idea if initial accreditation has anything to do with it. I'm not one to get fanatical about all that stuff. I'm sure it will all work out. I just like to follow this stuff. This was a brief little read form August. It just says there was a minor delay (3 months?) in the accreditation process (they applied in May, starting taking apps in June and found out about delay in August). Site visit may have happened a couple weeks ago if that was all cleared up.

And what's all this about? Sounds PBL'ish.

"Students at the Missouri School of Dentistry & Oral Health will engage in a "hybrid" curriculum, in which they will be much more responsible for their own education and instructors act as facilitators of conversation, clarification and learning."

I think everything will be going as planned. I heard from one of my buddies at ASDOH that Dr. Koenicke, the Dean of Admissions, is being transferred out to MOSDOH with a few other staff members. I would assume that is a good sign and all systems are go.
 
I got a rejection letter a month or so ago from ASDOH saying that I was not granted an interview for ASDOH, but at the bottom of the letter it had the addresses for both AZ and MO. I assumed that this meant I had been denied from both (even though I only did a secondary application for ASDOH). After reading all this, I'm wondering whether or not that was the case...

Thoughts?

My thoughts are that you're still alive and well at MOSDOH. Although under the same parent university, they are distinct institutions. Kind of like MWU-AZ and MWU-IL.

I got an email today for the secondary app, so it sounds like they are getting things rolling. They are waiving the secondary fee this year as well.
 
But then we would have to pay $30 for the DAT scores to be sent to their office. It is better than the supplemental fee of course but the scores won't get there until at least another four weeks? am i right?

I thought AADSAS sending DAT with the application to the school😕....
 
Hm... Wondering if I should add them to my list? I'm from the East Coast but maybe they'll send an interview my way... I haven't heard anything from ASDOH yet, either. No rejection but no interview. Anyways, thoughts on applying to MOSDOH? If I do apply I'll post with updates if I hear from them.

Wow. I saw that you mentioned earlier that you've received a rejection letter?.. That's weird.. Were you second batch?
 
I received the same letter as TCole90. It was a rejection from ASDOH and had MOSDOH signed at the bottom of the letter as well. And yes, I am from second batch.

any 4th batch applicants get their secondaries yet?
 
I got an email for the secondary app today, I believe I was in the third batch. I took the DAT in early August and I don't remember if MOSDOH was on the checklist, does anyone know if they were listed?

i just paid $30 bucks on ADA website to send my official scores to MOSDOH. I just re-read my email and it says to send it to their physical address... Did I do something wrong? Can they still receive it from ADA instead of mailing it?

Hmm... Same question. I haven't submitted mine yet, they're requesting an official report. If we choose an alternate institution, supposedly they're sending an unofficial report????

It states it under the PDF file.

I took th plunge and submitted another request form as alternate institution. I just input the address MOSDOH provided us. This is stupid lol

Yeah the MOSDOH admissions office told me to send an official letter. If you do, make sure it's alternate institution

Make sure you call ADA. I did the same thing but called 5 min later and they said they won't send the scores until the next business day. They told me to send them an email to [email protected] and make sure you put ATTN: Cindy for the subject. Provide them with your DENTPIN and also the exact address to MOSDOH.
 
can't you just click Missouri School of Dentistry in Oral Health on the form
and wouldn't they send the official score to them?

why would we use the alternate institution when the school is already listed ?
