For the prompt on how COVID-19 effected our journey - it's a 2500 word limit. It didn't really effect me and I definitely can't write 2500 words. Do I have to write something that long?
What’s the interview waitlist mean? Do a lot of people end up getting interviews from it?
Wish I knew lol
Thank you very much, they gave until 11/6 to accept the offer but there is no way I will hear back from other schools by then.
There is a tool to withdraw from other programs in AMCAS if I recall correctly, they will expect you to use this. I was not required to send in confirmation, and yes it is unlikely that you would hear back from other schools that early. I can not tell you the percent risk you would be "caught" but just know that I do know students that have lost their acceptances at other schools when UMKC has called in the past and told them a student was already committed and told them they had withdrawn other apps. It becomes an honesty/integrity issue. I also know two students that did end up getting away with it, but they went to DO schools.
Thank you very much for the helpful response. It will be a hard choice but I will either withdraw before the 11/6 deadline or accept and not wait for other programs. Good luck to you and congratulations as well!
As someone who received an interview already, I can confirm that they verbally stated there will be no more and that all interviews occurred in central October. Couldn't tell you why they've been slow on the R. Last year they gave out the "no more interviews" R around mid October.
If I recall from the interview, I believe they said the first two sets of acceptances are both in batches.
Definitely hard to tell since the prior year threads don't have much conversation either. The way I see it, it is probably best not to hold one's breath, but if it were actually over they'd have sent the "thank you for applying" letter.
