2013-2014 Central Michigan University Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I just received hold. It was kind of what I was expecting in the back of my mind but it still hurts to get it.

There's a hierarchy as follows:
#1 Acceptance is the best. :p
#2 Waitlist is okay. A few from the top of the waitlist was accepted last year, and since they're accepting a larger class this year, those on the waitlist likely have a decent chance.
#3 Hold is not so good. They didn't accept anybody off of hold last year. I believe you can go from Hold --> Waitlist, but not directly from Hold --> Accept. I don't think there will be much/any news until after May 15 for those of us on hold.

I think they had a "preferred" section of the waitlist last year (even though I don't think there was a specific ranking). I don't know when that distinction was communicated to those in that "preferred" section.

I'm pretty sure they only took a few from the waitlist last year, but it's hard to say for this year since they're expanding the class by > 50%... which could certainly affect the yields.

few seems so little hahah. this uncertainty is killing me..
 
From their twitter today:
"10/30/2013 Admissions Committee Meeting complete. All October MMI decisions going out today."

Has anyone heard anything?
 
I was put on hold. Interviewed on 10/25
 
Maybe at this point no news is good news? It takes time to call everyone!

Hold and waitlists are e-mailed. Acceptances are phone calls.

I thought they said at the interview that waitlists and acceptances were phone calls, holds were emails. I could be wrong.
 
Mmm, well I'm not 100% sure. I guess nobody explicitly said whether it was a call or not! Maybe Jamiechan or Medicines could shed some light on that.

Edit: I am referring to Waitlist decisions. I know for sure that Acceptances are a telephone call with a portal change.

I got in and I received a call and the portal online changed to have an extra acceptance form tab at the top. You definitely will know if you get in.

I just got an acceptance email, no call though!
 
I complete my secondary 3 months ago and haven't heard anything back yet. Any others in the same position? Are my chances not looking so good?

I am wondering the same thing with my chance. I completed mine two months ago.
 
Hello everyone! I just withdrew my interview from CMU scheduled for November 16th. I hope one of you guys and gals gets that spot. Best of luck to all of you!
 
Hellooo, just withdrew from my 11/15 interview spot, hopefully it goes to one of you worthy applicants! :)

Sadly I do not think that applicants can pick dropped interviews. Or at least ones that are within a week. It is too bad...

Not that specific interview date, but they'll interview more people later to fill their interview quota.
 
Withdrew my application after being wait listed post interview. Good luck to everyone applying.
 
I interviewed at CMU on 11/08 and I know it's still too early to hear back, but if anyone else is in the same boat, please let me know when you get a response! Thanks :)

I inteRviewed that day too and the wait is killing me! I check the portal all the time even though I know its wayyy too soon!
 
For those who have already interviewed, how were in the MMI questions in general? Some sample questions I've came across were pretty complex but I hear regular medical school MMI questions are easier. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Did they give you a general idea when you would hear at your interview? I interview Saturday and I am curious what the wait is like.

I'm sure each school is different, but in my experience the questions weren't trying to trick you. I could answer all of them and only struggled on one, which was an ethical question. Most are ethical questions, but this one was hard to answer because it was an either/or and I wanted both lol. I loved the experience, and prefer the mmi over traditional interviews.
 
Rejected post-secondary
Complete Early October
 
Anyone know if we will be hearing this week for November interviews?!
