I was complete on 8/4. Are there still interviews being given out or is that a rejection by now?

Did you read anything from the school? The status page will tell you if you're rejected, if not then you probably are still having a decision made.

MSU gives out interviews well into the new year. They are semi-rolling, so don't start worrying yet. Their last interview days are in March, and they do straight out accept people who interview then. I know lots of classmates who interviewed and were accepted after January.

That's quite a while to hear nothing from them. I would have thought if they didn't offer you an interview, they'd at least put you on hold over the course of 3 months. Are you OOS or IS?

It's been about 2 months for me, with the same message. I am glad I am not on hold though, as hold would mean my app would be looked again, after all other apps, if at all!

They 100% will re-review every applicant early next year. Assuming you arn't rejected the first time through of course.
 
I just got a second version of the post-interview status the day before one of the decision dates, does that mean they will decide tomorrow??

Thank you for attending Interview Day at CHM. Your application is being prepared for presentation to the Committee on Admissions. Your status will be updated once a final decision is made.11/03/2009Thank you for attending Interview Day at CHM. Your application is being prepared for presentation to the Committee on Admissions.

They actually meet on the Tuesday night before the date. So you will hear if you got in tonight. It sounds like your file will probably go to the committee for the next decision day.

nothing😴
 
Don't get too upset if you don't hear back the first or second meeting after your interview. It is kind of random how long it takes them to get to your file. I interviewed at the end of October last year and got in just before Christmas. I know people who interviewed at the same time and heard before Thanksgiving, and people who didn't hear until after the New Year. Try not to let it bother you too much.

Yeah in my experience and as far as I know, they accept Tuesday nightsby phone, and reject/waitlist by email on wednesday.

You are correct they do accept Tuesday nights by phone...😀 . Got my phone call this evening. Very nice!
 
I got accepted tonight by phone!!!!!!! My first acceptance!!!!!!

Interviewed 10/29

Congrats guys!! I remember how it felt when I got my first acceptance.

It looks like what ruiner said is right. Our files are just being reviewed on a different day. So in good news that means no rejection or waitlist (yet)
 
Well, no e-mail or status update so far either,
so I guess at this point no news is good news 🙂
Hmmm I definately need to stop spazzing out about this...
Congrats to everyone who got in, MSU CHM is an awesome school
 
THere is likely another one next week, so you probably wont have to wait too long to hear something.
 
Do they do silent rejections here? My status has remained the same (preliminary review) for months now...
 
I hope so. I guess no news is good news. I wish I could be more patient. 🙁

I don't know about silent rejections, but they do put people on long holds which sometimes result in later interviews. I also think they give out very few actual rejections until late March.

They sent some rejection emails 10/16 -- so they probably dont do silent rejections.
 
Hi y'all, I'm interviewing at MSU soon and I want to know from people who have interviewed... how was the experience? Any info will help! thanks, and congrats to all that are accepted, and good luck to those that are waiting for interviews and are post-interview.
 
Hey all... I was just wondering if any of you OOS interviewers were asked about your plans after medical school (as far as staying in Michigan or going back to your home state)?

Thank you!!!

...this subject did come up, but very briefly. As long as you don't appear narrow-minded about not staying in Michigan after graduation (even if you know you aren't), you should be fine...stay open to the possibility of things...

...OOS interviewee here. My interview experience was nothing short of fabulous. My faculty and student interviewer were really interested in learning about me as a person and vice-versa...word to the wise ---> about 99% of the questions asked at both of my interviews were found in the SDN Interview Feedback...definitely a great resource....👍

Nice, guys; good job. I hope Ruiner and I will see you there in August. MSU CHM is an awesome place. Go Green.
 
Anyone send any LoIs here?
 
For anyone who has been put "on hold for re-review at a later date," how long did it take for that to show up on your status page after you were complete?

I was complete on Aug 4 and I still haven't received the 'on hold for re-review at a later date' status. Absolutely no news for over 3 months...
