Will be withdrawing my acceptance shortly (along with my $30,000 scholarship offer). Its a bittersweet day as I truly believe CMED will be a great program in the future as I was very impressed with their program as a whole. I wish the best of luck to those currently accepted and to those currently on the waitlist.

Congrats!! Are you IS or OOS?
 
Those of you who were accepted off the waitlist, when did you get their Email ? Cuz it seems like they only send them in the morning ! I want to know so I dont have to neurotically check my email and be stressed all they 9 to 5 lol. Still waiting to hear some good news I feel like I aged 10 years in the past couple of days 🙁. Also so many people have been accepted off the watlist that I dont even know if there is any hope. Wishing for a miracle at this point.:arghh:

Accepted off the regular waitlist earlier today. I've already accepted a spot at MSUCOM and have finished basically all pre-matriculation tasks. I have a huge decision to make in the next 10 days

Congratulations on your acceptance! Just wondering as a fellow waitlistee, do the acceptances from this point forwards give you a specific time frame that you must accept?
 
^ might as well stick with msucom, both are schools that are going to produce physicians for primary care, and msucom is a top school for that.

I had to make the same decision and I haven't looked back since. That being said, it was super tough to choose at the time. Either way, you can't lose. They're both great schools. Good luck!

This is what i'm thinking. Even if I end up wanting to specialize, Michigan controls a large portion of what are now AOA residencies (that are not going to abandon DO's after 2020) and is likely the state with the lowest DO stigma IMO

I had an opportunity to interview at MSUCOM and I had to decline because I couldn't afford the trip. I regret not going because recently learned about their DO-Phd program which would have really liked. I don't know if I would have been able to transfer from an DO applicant to DO-Phd but it might have been worth it for me.

I was accepted to both as well but chose central due to their curriculum and how new the school is...either place is great though!

Hope we all hear good news 🙁
 
Hello Everyone!
I've been a long time lurker on this thread and am emerging from the shadows.... I interviewed back in September and was placed on the regular waitlist and was just offered an acceptance! I'm OOS from CA with 3.4 GPA, 24 MCAT, and a non-traditional applicant. I have been following everyone's posts on this thread for months now and have been really stressed throughout this whole cycle....as everyone on here has been as well 🙁 and the reason I am posting this is because I want you guys to please please please don't lose hope! I started prepping for a Master's Program and signed up to retake the MCAT this June. Anything really is possible if you put your mind to it and stay optimistic!!! I really wish and hope all of my fellow applicants on here get accepted! I'm rooting for you all!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Congratulations!! I have similar stats and your post is extremely encouraging 🙂 Happy to hear you received wonderful news, and am praying I get to be your classmate next year!!
 
Does anyone know how many people are in the waitlist and how many "open" spots there are? Basically spots that don't have a confirmed acceptance yet...also in the same boat as a lot of you and praying for the best!!
 
This is my first choice school, and I would love to attend! Does anyone know when orientation is for CMU?
 
I just talked to admissions today and they said they have about 6 more spots that are not currently accepted by someone; let's hope that all of us on this thread get those spots if they're not accepted!

Thats great news! And as waitlist of other schools move there may be more spots opening up! Did they by any chance mention whether the spots were for IS or OOS? Cuz they seem to have alotta movement for IS applicants n not much for OOS! I gotta say tho at this point in May im not really optimistic about my chances 🙁

Unfortunately not, I think that if the people that drop their spots are OOS they'll give someone OOS the spot and if they're IS it'll be an IS student. I feel the same way and I'm OOS too-such a nerve wrecking process. She did say though that once they've filled all 104 spots they'll tell the majority of the waitlist that they're taken off of it and only keep a few on it if anyone drops. Not ideal but at least that way we'll know and have a better idea of our chances!

Did they say when those 6 spots would be released for waitlist people to be accepted?

They're offering as they go, so right now there are 6 people with pending offers that haven't said yes or no to them. If someone says no they'll offer that spot to someone else and so forth until they're all accepted

Also keep in mind that some of the students who alrdy accepted their offer might withdraw cuz they come off the waitlist elsewhere.
I think specially at CMU becuz of the no deposit thing alotta people wait to withdraw later! Cuz they wont lose anything even if they chose to not attend the school (a DO acceptance or other countries)! To those accepted is there any deposit due in June or something ?

Ahh really really hoping to get good news for all of us soon!!

I've been accepted there and admissions said applicants that have been removed from the waitlist have 10 days to accept the offer. If they don't they revoke their spot. For myself, I'm waiting to be accepted at another school I've been waitlisted at. Hope that helps
 
There's a few of us that I have seen consistently on this thread! Hoping really hard for all of us to get through !! This is such a long and stressful process and I really want to finally make my long term plans about where I will be attending medical school.
