When do they normally start pulling from the WL?

Former Tier 2, current tier 1 waitlisted here. When looking at recent years, the waitlist really starts moving around March and continues steadily until after around when class starts. Canadians are a little different and have their own deadlines so I can’t speak to them. That said, when it could move you depends on the tier. When meeting with an advisor, I was told that they compare the first tier to the interviewees periodically and can pull at anytime throughout the year. Just to keep going for the sake of condensing waitlist info: the past two years have had all of tier 1 (American) and about half of tier 2 (American) move. Around 150 people out of 300ish they waitlisted. Canadian may not have a separate waitlist (there has been discussion on this), but they are pulled differently. MSU has a certain number of Canadian seats they save (I believe it’s 20 or 30). Therefore, for a Canadian to be pulled a Canadian seat has to be opened. That lower volume leads to less movement causing them to tend to not get through tier 1 (Canadian) a lot of the time.

TLDR: I spend too much time reading through these threads.

Thanks. Hoe did you go from tier 2 to 1???
 
for Canadians: to secure my seat, do I need to start my i20 application prior to the acceptance deadline? or just pay the $1000 deposit?

I just paid the deposit and like an hour later, I got the confirmation email for the site that I was assigned.
 
Fellow Canucks...for those of you that were accepted, approximately how long did you have to wait after the interview, to hear back from the admissions office??

I was interviewed on 8th September ; got accepted on September 25th. I paid deposit for Detroit campus.
Last week, I got accepted to MD school so I will be giving up my seat at MSUCOM. Good luck fellow Canucks 🙂

Is it worth going here OOS?

Not sure anyone can really answer that question for you. That's for you to decide. But MSUCOM offers one of the most extensive networks for GME of any DO school, so there are a lot of opportunities for you after you graduate, assuming you do fairly well. But it depends what other opportunities are available to you, because OOS tuition sure is expensive.
