Members do not see this ad.

also got the pre-II R, no IIs yet and first rejection so pretty bummed 🙁

So much is going on right now and self care is so important. Take a bit of time today to relax. I feel for you
Remember this is a long process and you’re more than all of this. I know it’s hard, but don’t let it define your self worth

 

[justmedschooltingz]

So sorry to hear that. Hopefully you will hear back from other schools soon 🙁

Do you mind sharing your stats and complete date? Also IS or OOS?

yeah of course: LM 68, complete 9/6, OOS

thank you for the kind words & good luck 🙂

Got that pre-II R as well this morning, seems the R's are starting to roll in for me ugh. OOS. Complete 8/29. Good luck to everyone else!

 

[cgmd]

I'm sorry to see the R's coming to people on this thread today. Just know this is one minor setback that does not define you! I wish you all abundant success as you move throughout this long and stressful application cycle, you will all be great 🙂

 

[AirBender]

MSU rejecting so many good applicants. I had high hopes for an II from this school, but I wont be surprised to see the R anymore.

 

[Med_For_Life]

So, what I'm getting from this thread is that they call you regarding acceptance either the day before or the day of their notification release dates (besides Oct. 15th of course)... anyone confirm?

Sharing because I hope that this makes at least one person laugh.

I had my interviews today, and feedback from my student interviewer is gonna say that I called MSU Wayne State three times. Feedback from faculty is gonna say that I called MSU Umich one time. Apparently, I'm on the verge of some mental break because I couldn't get it right 🤣 but I wanted to say that both the student and faculty were extremely nice. Very casual interview day, good luck to everyone interviewing soon!

If you don't mind me asking, what type of questions did they ask during the interview? Were any of the questions MMI-styled? Thank you so much and I really hope you get accepted despite what happened.

I'm sorry to hear this. If you don't mind me asking, when were you complete?

It was the most casual interview I've had BY FAR. I think the most important thing is to be able to articulate why you want to go there and definitely how you fit in with their mission. Especially how your prior experiences fit with their mission as well. Also, the student interview was traditional questions and the faculty was MMI/ethic style. I wish you the best of luck! Practice saying MSU in the mirror a few times 😉

Does anyone know how many spots remain? I am finally complete. I know it's a longshot but I do want to hold onto some hope.

No idea. I just had the pre-interview day event. It can take 4-6 weeks for a decision. I pray to find out before the end of the year

They hold open spots throughout the interview process

Thank you, that's good to hear. I will stay positive and hope for the best!

"Your file is being prepared for presentation to the Committee on Admissions. The committee strives to make a final decision on each candidate's application in a timely manner. The CHM application process is specifically designed so that the time an application is reviewed for a final decision is not a factor in the decision. Seats in the entering class remain available through the end of the application cycle"

I can't speak much to how this works in terms of II's, but there are seats throughout the entire cycle! Good luck!

 

[drmeter]

Does anyone know how long it takes to hear back post interview? If I am accepted early enough, I would like to cancel other interviews I have to give someone else a shot.

These are the decision notification dates posted on the website so I don't think we will be hearing back today.

 

[deleted1076897]

Thank you so much! @drmeter

 

[soccerkid21]

Did anyone who interviewed before 10/21 NOT hear back about an acceptance/waitlist? That was the last day decisions were sent out, so I'm curious

 

[Docyoncè]

hey, does anyone know the mcat range considered for recommendation into the ABLE program?

 

[justtrynamakeittoo]

interviewed 10/15 but expecting to hear back this week

I interviewed 10/5 and no one I know who interviewed that day (including myself) has heard back! I'm not even sure they're reviewing in order, honestly.

 

[Med_For_Life]

I interviewed 10/22 and I'm hoping to get a call tomorrow!

 

[vroom14]

Interviewed 10/8! Hoping to hear back tmrrw

 

[Tirade]

If State could also sent out some more IIs this week that would be nice

 

[Lifeblood_20]

Interviewed on 10/7 and hopeful about hearing back soon! 🙂

 

[myhero829]

Interviewed 11/9. I was super nervous and anxious leading up to the interview, to the point where I only got 3-4 hours of sleep the night before, and I have to say that I couldn’t have had a better interview experience. As soon as it began I immediately felt relaxed. Both of my interviewers were extremely chill and kind and were very receptive. Loved the whole experience. It felt more like a casual talk than it did an interview.

 

[Med_For_Life]

When do they normally start calling people?

Seconded, I barely slept the night before. Interviewed today 11/10 and had a great time. Structured MMI was definitely not as stressful as I thought and I think anyone applying to med school will already be well prepared to answer the questions. Had some tech difficulties but the student interview was very relaxed and conversational!

I too would like the answer to this question, if anyone knows 🙂?

 

[Med_For_Life]

So I just got a call from a Lansing # and it was MSU COM letting me know I was accepted, though I already got the email acceptance 5 days ago ... I got so excited only to be let down lol

 

[rootski17]

Honest opinions on chances please: MCAT 509 GPA 3.5, IS, app completed 9/25, 4.5 years of medical scribing plus more ECs, dedicated app towards serving the undeserved/disadvantaged

Also any idea when I might hear from someone regarding anything?

 

[drmeter]

When do they normally start calling people?

i think previously i saw people posting they received the call around 6-8pm ET

 

[cgmd]

Anyone receive anything yet?

 

[vroom14]

Anyone receive anything yet?

Nope

 

[Med_For_Life]

I interviewed 10/22 ... a little worried I won't hear back until the next decision release date ... in two weeks

 

[Docyoncè]

do yall think its too late to submit a secondary here?

 

[vroom14]

maybe it'll be tmrrw and they'll follow the 11/11 date they have up

 

[Hahagigglegiggle]

Interviewed 9/30 and still nothing yet

Update: got the alternate list email on 11/11. Kind of bummed about this one, really though I was a good fit here. Here's hoping there's some movement on the list.

 

[Med_For_Life]

Well this is scary

 

[cgmd]

Anyone get a call?

 

[lanadelgay124]
