Anyone know what happens after an interview? In state II completed early Jan. Are some people going to be accepted this Friday? Or do the remainder of all acceptances go out March? Ty!

I assume we'll all get an update Friday or early next week. I believe most acceptances go out in early March though.
 
In years past they've dug pretty far into the waitlist, too, with estimates of about 70 coming off the waitlist. So in all post-II acceptance should float around 50%

From what they said on interview day, they only accept 12-15 per month, so assuming that's true they've only extended ~45 acceptances so far. Last year they ended up extending almost 200 acceptances in total with almost 70 coming from the waitlist. I think we can assume then that they've only given out about 25% of their acceptances so far. We should find out by mid-March where we officially stand
 
OOS A, interviewed late November. I will be turning down the acceptance, hopefully it goes to one of you! This was by far my worst interview experience, one of the interviewers kept cutting me off and talking down to me. It left a very bad impression of the school.
 
I also had a similar experience -- I think the interviewers are dramatically variable, like one of the M4s on the student panel mentioned how in one of his interviews they spent the majority of the time talking about the Cardinals season and that was certainly not the vibe I got from either of my interviewers. My student interview felt like a stress test tbh, and my faculty interviewer seemed so bored and uninterested.

However, the student panel was probably the best out of all of my interviews minus maybe WashU. They had a lot to say about class culture and general happiness, and they seemed pretty candid about some of the negatives. They definitely saved the interview day imo

There’s a lot of acceptances but also a lot of rejections in March. In fact 99% of post II rejections happen in March because Mizzou typically never rejects right after interview. It’s not about being optimistic, it’s about being real so we can consider our other options.

I will have to respectfully disagree, I think there are two (three if you include being placed on alternate list) clear results that can happen in March, which what you mentioned can either be an acceptance or rejection. I think you're just trying to prepare for the worst case scenario which is always good but don't try to automatically assume this is a "soft R" or close off the possibility that you can always end up accepted in March after having status unchanged for some time now.
 
The sound of it is that a large wave of waitlist applicants will still be accepted later in the cycle. No one is getting soft rejected at this point.

A family member of mine just got accepted today, she also had a REALLY rough interview. One common strategy in these interviews it to MAKE the applicant uncomfortable. They want to see how you react to someone that is rude or putting pressure on you. This is not always a sign an interview went well or poorly because it going poorly can be by design. Do not read too much into it.

Lots of acceptances will still go out for Mizzou this year.

do we think they will update March 1st which is a Friday, or all the way out to Mid-March?

...good question, in previous years it seemed to be the first Friday but this year they started interviews later than usual so idk if that would affect anything. Ofc their emails have said they'd be finished by early March so I would think either the 1st or 8th

Does anyone fully understand the AMCAS choose your medical school tool? I understand that it is ultimately to ensure that people get decisions in a timely manner but in regard to the February 20th opening - if I have been accepted to MU but am an alternate at other institutions, but I select plan to enroll for MU (the other institution is not informed until the April 30th deadline), right?

does anyone think we will get an update on Friday? and then final decisions the next Friday, or just radio silent until one big reveal on March 8th?

I assumed there wouldn’t be a march update just one big decision day. I’m curious how many As are going out whenever the day is

On interview day I remember them saying 12-15 calls would go out every month, and since interviews started in November that's only like 45 acceptances. With a few people already dropping their acceptance, I'd think up to like ~80 might get the call next week

I would say it’s probably slightly less just because Mizzou has pre admittance programs (Bryant Scholars). I do not know how many that is exactly but I’d guess probably 10-20 people so maybe 60-70 hear back? Idk exactly how many people it though - so we will see

Ugh - should not have gotten on here this morning. Congrats on the Acceptance, but the radio silence is killing me. The only thing keeping me sane was the idea that I wouldn’t hear anything until Friday. Guess I’ll just be a ball of nerves all week 😵‍💫😵‍💫
