I feel the same 🙁 did you interview anywhere else? You can still definitely have a chance at other places. Each school does things slightly differently.

For what it's worth, I was told on my interview day that they don't necessarily review files in chronological order by interview date. So there is a chance they haven't gotten to your files yet!

Maybe. Im hoping for at least a no decision for now, but seeing how people who interviewed 4 days ago got calls last night, Im pretty sure they've gotten to mine by now.

Hope this helps, from their twitter...

"Many factors effect the timing of each applicant's review, but when an application is reviewed is not a factor in the decision. #SpartanMD"

e: but who am I kiddin'? I'm just as worried and nervous as you guys.

Just got the pre-II rejection about 5 minutes ago 🙁 Goodluck to everyone! This was one of my top choices and MSU is an amazing school!

Hey there still is a decent amount of movement on the alt list so it isn't the end yet! Did you interview in Sept?

Do you happen to know how much movement occurs generally from the waitlist? Looking at previous years threads didn't look that great..

Also got the rejection email. Nothing like seeing an email with "unsuccessful application" in the subject line...

Congrats on your acceptance, can I ask where? I've been seeing you on mutual threads for months 🙂
 
First rejection of the application cycle! Lizzy M 68-69, IS, complete 7-25

So judging by the "self-assessment guide" that was mentioned in the rejection email, we can't call them directly and ask why we were rejected...?

Good luck to everyone else still in the running!
 
Received a pre-II rejection email this morning as well. Extremely disappointed, especially given that I am a Grand Rapids local, did my undergraduate at MSU, and feel like their program mission is a near perfect match for what I offer and hope to work towards. I was really hoping for an interview to be able to discuss my slightly non-conventional background in depth, but they must feel the match isn't there. Such is life.

Good luck to everyone else still in the running! Grand Rapids and East Lansing both have their perks (Grand Rapids specifically is an amazing city), and I would strongly advocate for either location based on what I know!

IIRC, Dr. Maurer said around 40ish people get an acceptance. I might have misunderstood what he was saying, but someone from our interview day asked him.

So you don't have to dig for it, I quoted a table from last years 2015-16 thread in hopes that it helps. I honestly don't know much about movement myself, sorry. To add, there were also others who later noted that they were accepted off the alt-list and they knew way more people than 2 that were, so this table may be inaccurate. I wish they gave us more info during the II.

I believe it's unranked. I found this on last year's thread. I would expect there to be a little more movement this year due to the new curriculum. I know some people are skeptical about it and others really like it so who knows.
