And the wait continues
And the wait continues
Thanks brother for the positive vibes ! I will keep that in mind when i interview tomorrow at kycomJust gotta keep positive. Silence is better than wait list or rejection!
I have yet to find a Facebook group for the Class of 2019. If I start a group, would there be any interest in helping me get the word out??
Thanks!

yes. I was waitlisted last month. OOSSo are people being emailed notifications that they have been put on the waitlist?
Do you mind sharing your stats, and when you were complete?yes. I was waitlisted last month. OOS
3.6 sGPA, 3.7 cGPA, 29 mcat, OOS, complete September 12, heard end of OctoberDo you mind sharing your stats, and when you were complete?
Anyone else wait listed? I'm wondering what my realistic expectations should be of getting in from the wait list. Kind of upset about it, but there's nothing else I can do but hope
Haha, yes, I think I did -- It was nice to meet you.@johnamo I'm fairly certain you led my student-hosted tour today...I'm the fellow U of M-er
You make some good points.Yes, please make the group open for those who don't have MSU emails. Let us know when it is done.
It is true that you don't need DO shadowing experience or a letter from a physician (MD/DO). That being said, it would not hurt. I did however have 30 hours of shadowing exp (family physician).
I did not have either, and even as a Canadian applicant, i was accepted. Also, I only had 325 hours of volunteer experience (I was told that MSU looks for 1000+ volunteering exp).
That being said, everyone is unique. In terms of my stats and GPA, i'd say that they would most likely be top 90%. I had research experience and one major research scholarship + academic scholarship; and also 1000+ employment hours.
I also dont think academics alone got me in. During my acceptance call, they mentioned I had really good references that talked about leadership, dedication and sincerity ect. I think that since MSU does not interview, it may heavily rely on references and ECs that demonstrated communication / leadership / commitment; ect.
Can't blame you since I believe you mentioned being OOS. Congratulations on your other acceptance(s).Turned down my seat today. Hopefully that means there will be more acceptances to be handed out on the next decision day for everyone still waiting. Good luck - MSUCOM is amazing!

Yes, of course numbers count heavily. Personally, my MCAT was 95-99th percentile and I had lots of research... so that likely made up for a lack of explicit shadowing, DO exposure, etc. They're a medical school like any other who wants well qualified students. However, that's not to say numbers are everything (e.g., in my case, my overall GPA was not stellar). All accepted applicants are in the top ~4-7% in some way to someone on the admissions committee -- or else they wouldn't be accepted However, I feel that the current lack of an interview may certainly lead to more heavily favoring students who are demonstrably well-rounded. ... they don't wanna let too many weirdos in.
Edit: though they let some of us slip through the cracks, right @xc1591 ?
This one should now be open to anyone.the group is now deleted.
I tried joining but it appears you have to have an MSU email, which I have yet to receive...while on that topic, has anyone that's been accepted received their email/student ID number yet or know how long it takes to have those assigned?
did MSU make decisions/calls last thursday? Or is it this tomorrow?
They called last week, but I'm not sure if we'll hear anything next well because deposits are coming in and they need to figure out how many seats they have left and such.
Thanks for that info!
No prob.
Btw, if we've had absolute silence review-wise, should I just assume they haven't looked at my app yet? Last cycle I received a rejection in early December, but I submitted my secondary 6 months ago and still haven't heard anything. Almost 6000 applicants,I feel like my app is just lost in there, even after I submitted an update letter.
I am also waiting/hoping for some acceptances in the near future. I think (and I hope I'm wrong on this one) what they mean by outstanding admit offers is people who got accepted but have not paid their deposit yet. So the total number of acceptance sent out so far would be (102+105) 207 and the Canadian acceptance would be 7+12 = 19. So 19 out of 25 and out of the 19, 7 have paid their deposit.To continue talking to myself...
The October update email states the accepted applicants total is 103 on October 7th. The November update email states an outstanding admissions offers total of 105 (though way more students paid the deposit) on November 24th. How did they only accept 2 more students in a 7-week span. Also the October one says there were 4/25 Canadian students offered and November says 12 offers. That's 8 more acceptances if you're counting, these numbers don't add up at all. Sorry I'm just really bored right now
Yeah, I read it the same way. It seems like they just flip-flopped their metrics a bit.I am also waiting/hoping for some acceptances in the near future.

Hmm out of how many seats ? 325? also the deposit is due on December 14th correct ?I was at the tour at the DMC today; Anne Snyder said they have 147 deposits and 73 pending acceptances.
How'd you like the DMC?I was at the tour at the DMC today; Anne Snyder said they have 147 deposits and 73 pending acceptances.
A waitlist at the school is normally good because they pull a lot from the waitlistWaitlisted today. I got the e-mail. :/
This now makes, sent to the ABLE program at MSU CHM, waitlisted here, waitlisted UofM, and I will hear back from Wayne on Dec. 23rd.

I hope to get some good news this Thursday. I was complete around October 16.I was complete with my Primary August 28th, and then my secondary was delivered September 2nd, and It was completed September 10th.
So this means they only have 66 more admissions offers to give?
So that means roughly half the seats are paid for, but do some people withdraw even if they paid their seat deposit? I thought the deposit was non-refundable
How'd you like the DMC?
