Completed 8/6. Interview invite 8/7. Interviewed on 9/11. In-state applicant. GPA: 3.5 Science GPA: 3.3. MCAT: 30 Second year applying. Lots of clinical/research/volunteer experience.
I missed the call also (and had to play phone tag) but got the email right away.
I don't think they call to waitlist or reject so it is definitely looking positive in my opinion.
The accepted student open houses are really just a tour by current students of the Detroit and Macomb sites. You can bring a family member if you wish but most people didn't(don't feel pressured either way, they don't care if you bring someone).Congrats everyone
More questions - do the open houses that everyone is invited to via email follow the same structure as the open houses accepted applicants choose from? I'm wondering if it matters if I go to the one this weekend vs the later date that was available to me. Also are family allowed to come to the accepted applicant open house?
As always, thank you!
I got an interview and completed my secondary 8/27 so you definitely have a chance.
Awesome! Good luck! Do you mind me asking what your stats were going in?
This is my second year applying. My mcat is pretty low at 25 but my gpa is 3.6 with sGPA of 3.5.
Nice! I hope I can also get an interview too
Is there anything that you did that was particularly different from the first time you applied? I think I definitely took a lot more time with the essays and made them more emotional. My gpa was a little higher this year too.Nice! I hope I can also get an interview too
This is my first time applying and it hasn't been too promising as of yet so I hope something comes through soon.
Apply early, meet with an MSUCOM advisor, go to the open houses/see the Sites.Nice! I hope I can also get an interview too
This is my first time applying and it hasn't been too promising as of yet so I hope something comes through soon.
Agreed. After not getting off the wait list, I met with an advisor right away to discuss ways to strengthen my application and show my interest in applying again. I also wrote a very detailed essay about how I improved not just statistically but mentally this time around.
I don't know if that is the case because he said he has nothing to do with COM admission process.
Thanks for the advice! I definitely will look into writing an update letter in my portal.
Thanks for the encouraging words! I will keep that in mind if anything comes up
I think I remember from the secondary that they offer webinars or something like that? Maybe look into that. You just want to show that you are interested in the school.
I didn't see that. I will definitely do that! Thanks!!
I heard back yesterday!
Probably a newb thing to ask, but what is IS?
IS = In State
They had to cancel a council meeting, so the last of the 9/11 people got their answers about a week late.
where did you get this information?
My sleeves were above the wrist too so i don't think it's an issue. There were some people in the interview that didn't even wear a jacket and just a cardigan so you're totally fine.
Haha no problem! Like I said, there were a few girls who weren't dressed like that and seemed to do fine. I don't think an inch or two off the wrist is a big concern. As long as it still looks professional and clean.
