2020-2021 Michigan

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
So for sure, they send out IIs every Monday from now for a few weeks? I took my CASPer pretty late so even if they wanted to talk to me, I wasn't expecting anything today
 
Now I feel super late and regretful for being complete most places early to mid August.
 
519 and I feel like I don't have a shot at any of my target/reach schools this cycle based on everyone else's stats 🙁

SDN isn’t representative of the applicant pool. I’m also quite confident that some folks inflate their stats here to make themselves feel better (or others worse).
 
II, OOS! 🙂
Sent in my secondary on 7/10 (First day). Committee letter FINALLY sent in 8/7 (Last Friday) So they were not lying when they say they begin to review your app even without letters!

I only glanced through the previous messages but guys really let's all chillll. If they truly only sent out 27 IIs then there are hundreds more coming and you guys are next! We're all in this together and obviously it's early af there's a LOT more cycle to go.
 
My app gets marked "complete" on Sept 22nd since thats when my MCAT score is released due to all the cancellations. Should i even bother finishing my secondary for this school? Do yall think its late?


Congratulations to everyone who got an II! hope you kill it!

congrats!!! as someone who’s STILL waiting on the committee letter this makes me feel better
 
Really, REAAAAALLY happy that it look like Michigan's whole "out-of-state students first, in-state students later" trend is being applied to this year as well.

Here's to hoping my consideration won't be hindered when I submit my secondary three weeks from now T_T

Why did you have to make a mistake on my transcript AMCAS? Whyyyyy?
 
The MSTP website says MSTP IIs are on a different schedule from MD-only IIs, but does anyone know if they still come out on Mondays? (maybe @pBar ?)
 
It might be worth noting that both people in the tracker submitted their secondaries before July 11th LMAO.
Yes that + the fact that all interview dates are public on their site, thus this one is an easy one to fake. That said they did send out II today and well am sure 524 is a shoo-in for whoever has it, but lower stats also have a chance.

TBD Second Look at Michigan

Assuming there are sending 27 invites per date, there still ~459 II left to be sent. Happy Monday!

Are you suggesting that their entries are fake? I think early secondary submission leading to early II would be reasonable.
 
Why does it say the average is a 516? The past two years the class profile says the average is a 514-515? Genuinely new to this so just curious.

The class profile is typically a tad lower at most schools when compared to all the applicants a school admits. I believe this is because high stat applicants may receive multiple acceptances and have to turn down schools, then resulting in applicants with potentially lower stats matriculating off the wait list. The best metric to go off of is the median MCAT of admitted students you find on MSAR.
 
CASPer is literally my greatest concern. I felt like I did well on it, but at the same time, maybe I'm a sociopath and just don't realize it lol. Really though, anxiously waiting to (hopefully) get an II from at least one school that considers CASPer pre-interview to feel more assured that I didn't bomb it.


Michigan said it does not use Casper scores in their holistic evaluation, they just use it to see how scores correlate communication styles

Just to play devil's advocate, that's a tweet from last year. Their policy may very well have changed since then.
 
@TheDataKing, there is something that has been bothering me for a long time...

The University of Michigan Medical School is listed as the University of Michigan Medical College on the 2020-21 interview tracker (and has been in past years). Please consider changing this to save me from my neuroticism
Thanks for letting me know. I fixed it but please be aware this is minute and nitpicky and I am in the middle of an intensive block in med school :/

Best of luck! (This was supposed to be lighthearted and not deserving of a prompt response, please don’t attend to similar trivial requests in the future if you’re busy!!)
 
so did anyone contact them about this HTML thing? just submitted and it removed all my paragraph spaces
