I think perhaps only up to 9/30 have a decision thus far. Status It very clear right above the check marks.

Question for those who already interviewed and sent in their thank you letters. Did you guys send 3 separate emails to admissions so that each email individual can be forwarded to each interviewer? Or did you guys just send in one email to admissions that was sent to all 3 of your interviewers?
Thanks!

1 email to admissions- 4 different thank you letters attachments (4 pdfs). Then it's forwarded by admissions to the interviewers.
 
Just got the official email - Accepted Kansas City Campus. Interview 9/29.

Congratulations! Did you specify KC campus or did you choose either on your primary?

Put either on the primary. Secondary reported Joplin, not sure why. Emailed them, they said it's my primary answer that mattered. Accepted Kansas City.

This may be a silly question but how do I go about asking the interviewers for their email?
 
Yea I'm actually having a problem now. I forgot the name of two of my interviewers' names and I cant find them on the faculty list. I hope they know who I interviewed with. Did you guys list the names of your interviewers in the email?

Email and ask admin.
 
Is this email a soft R?

Is anyone who got accepted having trouble accessing your Workday account? I'm trying the same username/password for the KCU portal and it says it's incorrect. Are they separate accounts?

Yes I had the same problem and I emailed the admission committee with the same concern. They said they are going to send new link for the first payment. This email was from a system and it was by mistake. So it is not important. We all will get a new email in few days

There's a page on scholarships on the website. They're all GPA/MCAT based from what I remember. I don't have the link now, but I've seen it before.

Yes, I've seen that page. Wondering if there is a point in which they tell us that we received one of them. Does that come after December 14? etc..

Oh, gotcha. I'm not entirely sure on that. I think I recall reading in past threads that people were just e-mailed the offers around the time of their acceptance if they met the criteria, but don't hold me to that because it has been a while since I think I saw that. I would assume you'd get it if you meet the criteria since the website says they're automatic.

Edit: Actually, re-reading it, it says based on final scores, so they might have to wait for your final transcript for the GPA portions.
 
Interview invite today! complete 9/14

edit: does anyone know if early January interviewers still have a good chance of being accepted?

I just got a interview in mid December! A bit worried though...is it late in the cycle? How long does it take them to send post-interview updates?
 
No II, complete 09/14 :(

I have above average GPA but <500 mcat
 
Hey peeps I have an II on 10/13. I have a question about the writing activity: is the writing activity done during the interview or is it due after the interview? I am having trouble what this might be since I haven't heard of other schools doing such a thing, just a little nervous. Thanks!

We can't really talk about specifics because we signed an NDA, but I wouldn't stress about it at all.

Hey, just wanted to lyk that that's not a rejection. I'd received the same email earlier in August but then they later sent me an II and I just interviewed yesterday so there's still hope!

Yay thanks for responding! And congrats! Should I send them an update or my interest in the school to better my chances of an II?

I have a <505 MCAT but am really interested in the dual degree programs and global Track they have.

They will email about the scholarships after your acceptance. I got my scholarship email the next day after my acceptance in December. They award via MCAT/GPA cut offs, as I was right on the MCAT cutoff and my GPA was slightly higher. If your grades and score clear that threshold and they can confirm it via your transcript, they will notify you.
