Hello,

I just wanted to know if anyone has had experience with this program and any advice before I apply to it...

Questions:

How may spots are normally available vs how many apply?

How long is the application process and what happens after you submit your application?

Do you need to be a resident of Missouri?

Thanks guys!

Do it! There are typically about as many spots as people who apply. ~30-35.

The application is like 8ish pages, not bad at all. After applying (that summer?) you hear back early fall and have an informal meeting at the school and receive your provisional acceptance status. Then you come in the spring for a formal interview. Provided you hit your necessary DAT score and grades, you receive official word on Dec 1, like everyone else. But, you basically know that you’re in after that first informal meeting with admissions. You also save a bunch of money by not having to do AADSAS and apply to a bunch of schools. The whole thing is seriously a totally steal; I definitely recommend it.

I think you just have to be Missouri or Kansas.

Even if you do not hit those stats right on and are removed from the program you still have high chances of getting in. They know your name already and that you are serious because you were in the program. So all around there is nothing to lose from being in the program.
