How long does it stay "Forwarded for preliminary review" before moving to the next status?

I think i read on the website it said 4 weeks is usually how long, could be longer or less depending on time of year.

I'm still on "Forwarded for preliminary review" since 7/23 lol

 

[drpepper92]

According to previous threads, first round interviews should go out this week. Good luck, everyone!

They tweeted last friday that interview invites would start soon so I believe that'll be true 🙂

So am I but I think that means they are still considering us highly so I would take it as good news 🙂 since other people have already been held for interview decisions

What does it mean "held for interview decision." ?

 

[drpepper92]

What does it mean "held for interview decision." ?

It means they will re-review the application at a later date once more applications have been submitted. Basically, they want to compare the application to more applications before they decide on whether or not to give an interview.

 

[drpepper92]

Legitimate thought I had: Calling admissions from another phone number, and asking when they would be releasing interview dates...

I think this process is getting the best of me

Does that mean nobody has received a rejection yet?

I have no idea. I would assume with the first batch of interview invites they would have a few rejections since it is one of the possibilities after they review your app but I honestly have no idea how MSU does it. If you are waitlisted though fear not because my friend got off the waitlist a week before classes started this year!

COME ON MSU, SEND OUT SOME INTERVIEW LOVE.

Anyone have any idea when first round interviews will be going out?

Not that i'm aware of. I've been under review since 7/21.

Silence!

 

[drpepper92]

I started following the MSU CHM Admission's twitter and I haven't heard anything since their post last Friday saying "Interview Invites would be going out shortly." Was worried that maybe people got them and they didn't post on SDN

I think now that school has started for them we'll start hearing movement on them by next week at least. Maybe tomorrow if we are lucky!

Quick question does this school prescreen or do they send a secondary invite to every applicant?

If you look at MSAR, you'll see that they send a secondary to everyone.

Yup, I think "Interview Invites would be going out shortly" means a few days, not a few weeks. MUST BE PATIENT, not one of my strengths.

Still under review since mid july. I'm hoping thats good news. But yes waiting is killing me haha

 

[Affiche]

I opened all of my Christmas presents last year a week before Christmas because I didn't have the patience to wait. This process is the pits.

 

[drpepper92]

Refresh email.
Refresh SDN MSU thread.
Analyze data.
Repeat.

A day in the life.

I need to hear something today or I might completely lose my mind. My nights have turned into

 

[drpepper92]

Just checked the 2013-2014 thread. First interviews went out on 9/6/2013. AHHHHHHH

 

[drpepper92]

9/13 the year before that. We may have more of a wait, guys.

IIRC, they sent them out during late August last year. I think we should expect to hear something this week (hopefully!)

 

[drpepper92]

Yeah, 8/20 last year. At least there is that.

 

[Rainbow Zebra]

Ah, MSU didn't stand me up. II as of 4:41PM. IS, Alma Mater!! Interviewing in E. Lansing end of September.

Secondary submitted 7/16, but last letter from MSU prof didn't get into system until 7/21, so maybe that is the complete date.
Didn't keep track.

[drpepper92]

Thank you, @wsu11!

 

[MUSD2016]

Forwarded to preliminary review on 07/23, not put on hold on the portal, but no email about interview. Do we know if MSU does silent rejections?

 

[EyePlumber2020]

Interview invite! In state

Does anyone know what days of the week MSU interviews? Are there days other than Fridays?

 

[Doctoblast]

Does anyone know the ratio of how many people are accepted post interview?

 

[BrainGuy1845]

600 some get interviews. Class size is 190. 95 on each campus.

 

[Derek Shepherd]

II! IS. LizzyM 70. Secondary submitted 7/19.

 

[BLACKMD]

Interview invite today! I'm suffering from imposter syndrome something serious today. IS, military, URM, non-trad, but not so hot MCAT. Best wishes to everyone and see you at the end of the month!

 

[NovMSScr]

II at 4:41 as well! I love MSU!

Going for the MSU sweep, eh? haha good luck!

 

[Affiche]

II!!!!! IS, interviewing at Grand Rapids!

WHEW. I was seriously losing it last night after you all got II's and my inbox was empty!

 

[NovMSScr]

To those who got IIs, was there any change to your status after 'Forwarded for Preliminary Review'?

There was not! I actually checked like 20 times last night and like 5 more times this morning and it was still "Forwarded for Preliminary Review 7/23". I'm sure yours will come soon!

Same!! Apparently another wave is coming out this morning! I wish they didn't select the day for us though- coming in the middle of the week isn't exactly ideal. Oh well, not complaining!!!

Agreed. I have a date in the middle of the week as well with a work conflict 🤔. I'm worried about taking my chances with requesting a reschedule, though....
