Yesterday, I received a rejection letter from UMB and I was interviewed back in 11/27/2012. It is my ashamed state school. Prior to the rejection letter, I sent a very polite email to Dr. Meehan and she never responded. I also called the admission office, and they were not helpful. I think this school is very inconsiderate. I was already accepted to many schools by 12/2/2012. I am glad that I accepted an offer to the UPenn. I am sure that UMB is horrible school if they treat the applicant like that. Imagine, you are attending there and how helpful faculty would be.

I think every school I was rejected from sucks too! Especially my state schools, those b holes didn't even offer me an interview!

First of all, you interviewed a couple days before December 3rd, I hope you didn't expect to hear back about your status 6 days later. Also, you can't expect a school to drop everything they are doing to respond to every "polite email." I think people feel entitled during this whole application process... Some schools have thousands of applicants for a few seats. If you came into the application cycle expecting schools to bend over backwards for you, you are entering the wrong profession. Lastly, I am sure UMB is a GREAT school, and I would choose it simply for the cheap in-state tuition over the 1/2-million you'll be shelling out at UPenn.

I don't understand what you wrote. Was this an attempt to be mean?

UPenn is a great school. We all know that. I'm sure you'll receive an amazing education there, I just think it is on the expensive side.

And I don't know if I would have been accepted to UPenn, had I applied. But, considering http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=992010 I don't think it was out of reach.

I say you have a good chance based on your DAT scores. You're GPA is the average or slightly below average of most programs but your DAT is strong. 👍

I have almost the same DAT scores, and slightly lower than your GPA

I received 6 interviews, 3 acceptances



You know there are some other factors like research, experience, community service, and most importantly personal statement (which I think I have put much efforts in to cover up my GPA)


If you can build an "attractive" application, I would say you have a good chance to get in!
