Will be withdrawing my acceptance today. Hope it goes to one of you on the waitlist!
Canadian or American??

Generally would help to have a car. It's possible to get away with not having a car (at least in Lansing there are walkable apartments to Fee Hall and parking can be a chore on campus) but that makes the little things like grocery shopping a bit more difficult -- though I guess there are affordable delivery services now! However, you pretty much need one by third/fourth year for rotations, auditions, interviews, etc.Kind of a different question, but how necessary would you say having a car is? Would it help or get in the way?
Do you know anyone who were moved from Macomb campus to Detroit Campus?The only people I know who were moved to Detroit from EL happened after Summer semester and Fall semester was over. I think that grammar on that sentence was super wrong, btw.
No, but if you join the DMC 2022 page I'm sure you could post and ask!Do you know anyone who were moved from Macomb campus to Detroit Campus?
Any fellow Canadians hear back from Tier 1 WL?
negative
Hopefully some of the admitted Canadians at MSUCOM have applied to Canadian Medical Schools!! They won't get their admissions decisions until May 7th/8th

Thanks mostly to our no-fault insurance, Michigan is unfortunately the most expensive state in the country to have car insurance. I would just compare several... was with Liberty Mutual, Geico, and Allstate over the course of med school -- they tend to be pretty comparable.hi guys, congratz on getting in and good luck to everyone on waitlist
Just wondering what are cheaper car insurance options in Detroit area. Also I am a Canadian if that changes anything
Yes! Just look up MSUCOM Class of 2022 and congratulations!I just got off the T1 WL! Is there a FB group for accepted students?
I would just email the admissions office.Does anyone know how to withdraw one's acceptance at MSUCOM? I received an offer from my top choice recently and will be taking it. Thanks in advance and hope that my spot goes to one of you here!
You don't need to re-do the test. They just invalidate your Canadian license and give you a new Michigan one since they are equivalent. I switched over to the Michigan license, but most Canadian students end up keeping their Canadian license and plate though.Also, do we have to redo our driving test? Or will they issue us a new licence/plate
Although it was be a scarlet letter for MSU for years to come, I believe that program directors will understand it has nothing to do with medical students that happen to go to school there. If it were to ever come up in an interview (I don't even know if residency interviews ask things like this), I would be honest in explaining how I felt about it at the time but how as a class we honestly really came together. Separate from all the action admin. took, it really feels like our class (which up until this point wasn't super close) kind of rallied because we all have this shared experience we had to endure.Is anyone concerned that the recent controversy involving Dr. Nassar and his horrendous actions will negatively impact/stigmatize MSUCOM graduates to the point of affecting residency opportunities? Would love to hear what you guys think!
I'll hopefully let a Canadian answer your questions with a bit more authority, but one thing to consider is that you can get a refund for your fourth year (see part VII, paragraph 2) in the amount of anything over in-state tuition (i.e., you effectively pay in-state tuition for your last year) if you do residency in Michigan. Most of our Canadians do.Could any current Canadian students provide some feedback on the program? In addition, I am still quite concerned about the steep tuition after scholarship (58k/year for Canadians) due to the poor conversion rate from CAD TO USD (currently 1.32, ouch). Are thescholarships provided on the official website

attainable and how much is usually given?
Thanks all and best of luck to all those on the WL
Has anyone been able to find, or happen to know the overall total match percentage this year? I’m having trouble deciphering the data they posted on their page...
Yeah, the data the college put out is not exactly helpful in that you have no idea what combination of matches people took part in, etc. @Scrubs101 did some good number wizardry above, though!Has anyone been able to find, or happen to know the overall total match percentage this year?

Heard that NOBODY is teaching ANATOMY. You need to study everything yourself. NO professors, NO TA, No Nothing. Study yourself, go and vomit in the exams. GREAt MSUCOM is charging >$8k (summer sem)as tution for this. You are on your own. What's going on? Why anu anybody has to pay tuition for this?
That is objectively false.
We took anatomy and biochem this summer, although not all of biochem is covered in the course. Much of it is covered in other courses.Do you guys take anatomy by itself in the summer?
