Did he say if he called all accepted applicants from recent interviews yesterday? Also - did they call at night or during the day?? Thanks!


Nope didn’t say anything about that. Call was in the evening and he did say that the adcom had met that day which is pretty in line with their online schedule. Since it was October 1st, my assumption is that they were mostly making EDP decisions that day and maybe a few of us slipped through from the first interview day. Since they caught the mistake, the next calls probably won’t be till October 15th 🙂 Sit tight!

thank you! i appreciate it 🙂 the waiting game is killing me! trying to stay positive though. thanks again!
 
I've been "forwarded for preliminary review" since 7/23. Should I just take that as a soft R?
 
II on 10/1 for 12/2 in Grand Rapids! I also got an email today about the pre-interview mixer the day before in East Lansing, I could not find much information besides the provided link, has anyone been to the mixer and found it beneficial?
 
Hey everybody,
I'm an OOS applicant here and was wondering, if sending my primary would be worth it at this time or is it too late? Are there any screens as well? Thank you all so much and best of luck to all of you in this process!!! ..... 🙂
 
Got the R today. Oct 9th
Pre-II
OOS(canada so out of the damn country) applicant, forwarded for review Sept 2cnd,
3.3GPA/507MCAT
I'm sorry to hear that. I hear being a Canadian citizen is super competitive. Are you applying to DO schools as well?

At this point, I would say its too late. August is usually considered pretty late for primaries. At least for MD schools.
 
Thanks for the support everyone<3.Would have loved to be a spartan, but I guess I saved 100kUSD/year? And actually not applying DO schools, just 9 US MD and 4 Canadian.

Nah no interviews yet. This was my first rejection, havent heard anything else from the 8 other US schools aside from secondary confirmation. However, most my secondaries were submitted mid August. What about you? Mind sharing stats?

I will message you!
 
Anyone have any input for applications placed on hold? I'm wondering if anything can be done in the meantime.. :/
 
Has anyone else gotten acceptance calls from the first few interview dates?? Except for the people that heard back on the 1st? Or are they sending out further decisions the 15th? thanks all 🙂

I interviewed on September 16th and have not heard anything yet (call, email, or updated portal). I hope that we will hear something on the 15th!

I interviewed that day as well! Ok - I'm hoping we hear that day then. I think they made some acceptance calls and then realized they weren't supposed to until the 15th. Hoping we are some of the lucky few that get that call!! Wishing you the best of luck 🙂

Yes, I understand that..... I applied ED to another school, so that is why I'm so late! Does anyone know of anybody who applied this late here OOS and had any luck at all?
 
IS forwarded on 8/13 and put on hold feelsbadman
I was also forward for review on 8/13. Where exactly on the portal does it state this? If I don't have it yet, I'm sure it's coming by the end of the day 😉

I’m sure we ran into each other at some point that day without realizing it! I think you are right about the calls being a mistake though, considering that we were told that the first two interview days should hear back on the 15th. Best of luck to you as well!
 
Completely forgot to post this, but II a couple days ago, OOS. Can any kind soul who is familiar with Grand Rapids share any thoughts about the campus, or even the city of GR in general? Would love to get an inside perspective.
 
Just noticed a pre II hold in the portal today. Not sure what to make of it. LM 69
 
admissions office said that their director isnt in today, but that she can decide to send them out from home or not.
 
Has anyone had trouble with their website? I can't seem to open any page of the college's entire website, not even a home page. I get a "can't reach this page" notice.
 
I got the acceptance phone call on 10/01, but have not received the email yet. Anyone else in the same boat?
 
yeah that happened to me too- I figured we'd hear something official by email today/have something on our portal but I've got nothing so far
Same here! I was told during the call that we would get an email over the next two days.
 
Has anyone else heard anything yet?
no!! im starting to get worried lol. i heard though if nothing updates in our portal by 5pm it just means they haven't made a decision yet. i'm wondering if different people call the applicants from east lansing and grand rapids... hopefully our interview date just hasn't gotten called yet! fingers crossed for the both of us 🙂

Where did you interview at and when ? I was at GR on the 24th and still haven’t heard anything yet.

Yeah, I can definitely feel the anxiety build now lol. I am disappointed that we didn’t receive an email (indicating acceptance, waitlist, or reject) like we were promised. We were the first date, so I assumed we would hear something today. I hope you’re right! Maybe the people at GR are just slacking

Both of us interviewed at GR on the 16th!

i guess no news is good news! now i know theres no set date so i'm just gonna go with the flow until i hear something LOL!
 
If we don't receive a call or email today, does that mean we're waiting until 11/6 (the next decision notification date from the website)?
 
Hey guys! Just wanted to update and let you know I got the call from Lansing (517 area code)! I hope you guys hear back soon
