2015-2016 Michigan State University Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
My status says forwarded for preliminary review, and when I click document status there is a blank page shouldn't it say letters received or something?
Mine says the same thing and the page is blank as well. However just above where it says, "forwarded for preliminary review on XX" it says "Letters of Evaluation" and "Complete." I think the Document Status may be for updates sent to admissions. Hope this helps!
 
Anyone else get an applicant survey request about personality traits with MMI outcomes?? Not associated with admissions, per se, but research into what MMI selects for in personality traits.

Rejected. Complete 8/28. Good luck to those still in the running!
 
Rejected today. First one of this cycle, definitely stings, especially since my dad is an alum. Really was hoping to be a Spartan. Complete early Sept, OOS, 3.65 GPA, 512 MCAT. Good luck to the rest of you.
 
Rejection today.
Losing hope for this cycle. Prepping for application improvement next cycle.
 
Oh I wish I wouldn't have checked this tonight! I interviewed 9/25 and I am an anxious wreck. No email, no portal change, no call. The limbo is killer!

Congrats to USvsWindsor and wsu11 on your acceptances!!
 
Looks like I won't be studying in East Lansing for the next 4 years! Great school nonetheless. Good luck to the rest of you.
 
Alternate List, not surprised, did not like or do well with the MMI.
 
does msu give merit scholarships (prior to having to decide where to attend) or is it all need-based?
 
I am an out-of-state student, and my application has been 'Forwarded for Preliminary Review on 8/20/2015'. This has been my status for a while, at least a month (I haven't kept track).
----Does this school do 'silent rejections'? Or after how long do you think that I have no chance?
----Can any OOS (stats please) tell me how long it took for their status of 'forwarded for prelim' to change?
----Any OOS have experience (with stats please) of the longest they had to wait for an interview invite after that change?

Based on your MDApps, I'm sure schools will be fighting for you this cycle. That being said, what made the MMI here so difficult? Any recommendations or input?

It wasn't difficult, I just wasn't in the right frame of mind. Had a family funeral that week, and just wasn't into MSU for another 4 years. Nothing to stress about. Happy to have an acceptance, and thrilled to be interviewing at Mayo and U of M. Happy to be MD ultimately. Good Luck to you.
 
Are there any current students at the East Lansing that could hook me up with some info about housing options? It'd be much appreciated.
