For the question about phrases to describe yourself. Does anyone know if we have to describe the phrases NOT associated with our decision to do medicine or do we just list them?

Any advice for approaching the 10 words/phrases? I feel like a lot of mine are cliche. Also, are you just making a bullet point list or adding little explanations as well?

I just listed all 10 traits (some were very cliche lol) and then said which ones related to medicine. And then I wrote a paragraph for each one specific to medicine. I talked about how I have demonstrated this trait in my life and why it makes the field of medicine a good fit for me.

I personally just listed and explained the three associated with medicine. Not sure if that's what they wanted or not.

[cranjismcbasketball]

I'm kinda confused, are the MD-PH & LMU programs based entirely in Flint? I'm interested in both programs but would prefer the EL campus

For LMU, the first 2 years you would be in EL or GR. After that, you must go to Flint.

I've been wondering the same thing for awhile now, I feel like the website has contradicting info, but I think you only need to fill out the grad school app if they invite you for interview? I'm really not sure

 

[ScottyDogs]

Hello everyone. Current CHM student happy to answer any questions about the school.

 

[ScottyDogs]

Do they have a preference for current msu students?

Not that I know of.

 

[imgettininregardless]

is msu com the correct abbreviation?

 

[neyney0807]

is msu com the correct abbreviation?

MSU COM is the DO school, MSU CHM is the MD school.

[imgettininregardless]

would it look bad if majority of my primary/secondary is based on a desire to serve the underserved but I don't apply for the LMU program?

[imgettininregardless]

for the future accomplishment question, is it okay if i talk about more than one even if the question implies to only talk about one accomplishment?

 

[cranjismcbasketball]

I talked about two! I kinda used it as a why MSUCHM essay and how their programs will help me do these two things

Did you also do the program essays (rural, urban etc.) ?

No

Any tips for interviewing?

Very holistic school. Be authentic and show why the mission statement matters to you. Being humble and honest matters far more than trying to impress. That being said, expect a chill interview. Everyone is on your side and wants to highlight your best qualities.

 

[ggyb123]

Any update from applicants complete early aug?

 

[bakersdozen13]

IS II received 9/27, complete 8/1. LM ~73

 

[deleted1022805]

Would this be a pretty good post-II acceptance rate for IS?

View attachment 360192

That’s not acceptance rate. That’s just interviewed and those that matriculated

So accepted would probably be more than 161

 

[ggyb123]

My application was forwarded for preliminary review 8/11 and still is not complete. Has this happened to anyone else with similar dates?

 

[YOLOman]

My application was forwarded for preliminary review 8/11 and still is not complete. Has this happened to anyone else with similar dates?

Im complete and have been forwarded to prelim review since Aug 22nd

 

[TiramisuLover99]

For me since August 7.

I thought preliminary review means your app is complete. Mine says "Application Complete - Forwarded for Review".

 

[YOLOman]

You have to be complete for it

I thought preliminary review means your app is complete. Mine says "Application Complete - Forwarded for Review".

Yes it says that ^^^ on the left. In the details part it gives me the day it was forwarded for prelim review which was Aug 22

 

[blink2028]

How long does it take to hear back on an acceptance, hold, or rejection after the interview?

I'm pretty sure it's 4-6 weeks or the next decision day ... they have a list on their website

 

[YOLOman]

This thread moves really slow
