Ive been hoping for an II from MSU COM. I was shocked that MSU CHM offered me an interview but not their DO school. This whole process is such an enigma.

Honestly, you never know what each school looks for, so I think the whole MD vs DO doesn't really matter; schools just want to make sure they feel you're a good fit or not. I interviewed here, and it went great, manifesting the A for me and an interview for you!!

Anyone got an II w/ a lower MCAT? I am in-state and go to MSU rn and have a 497 MCAT and 3.82 GPA and just got the interview email. I was very suprised.

Hi, congratulations! Could you share when you submitted your secondary? I’m still waiting on any response.
 
Any Canadians here with an A? Mind sharing ur stats? I interviewed last week and I’m stressing
 
I've been complete since June 30th, have a 3.43 science GPA, and 3.58 cumulative GPA and a 509 MCAT. I am also a Canadian student. Does anyone have any insights into whether MSU would consider me? I have not recieved an interview and am losing hope. This is my top choice.

Does anyone know when the first day of class is likely to be for MSUCOM? Based on last year

Based on their website, it seems like students had two classes over the summer from 7/15 to 8/16, and then the fall term started on 8/26. Check this link for a detailed breakdown of the courses and semesters if you'd like.

This is how i feel too. I dont know what to do about it. I guess nothing just patiently wait, it is so hard
 
Curious what people think about this

They don’t have any recent match lists published. Last data is the Specialty Competitiveness Guide which lists placement (and a lot of other data) from 2020 to 2022.

I emailed admissions about this and they told me they cannot share this information beyond the stats and figures page of the site. Exact words were “Please scroll down https://osteopathicmedicine.msu.edu/future-students/why-msu-college-osteopathic-medicinehere. This is the best information we can release.”

No other school that I’ve checked on lacks residency placement data, let alone refuses to release it when asked. The previous info is quite solid, but I find this lack of transparency a little weird.

Don’t prospective students have the right to access out come data like board scores and detailed match lists? If they released such a detailed report for 3 years why not release more recent data?

I would like to see an updated list, I think it may be helpful for OOS applicants
 
Is the interview season almost over for MSUCOM? I really wanted a chance to receive an interview from them but I wish I knew what they didn’t like about my app. 508 MCAT, 3.5 GPA (including GPA repair, which was around a 3.8) and MA resident. (OOS). I have about 3-4k clinical hours.

Don’t even know if it’s worth to send a Letter of interest at this point

I ranked Detroit as my first option but got East Lansing instead because Detroit was full.

does this mean there's no chance of being waitlisted for Detroit either? As in all the offered seats have committed to attending?
 
Anyone who was able to go to the admissions overview presentation before their interview know what they talked about?

I’m on a waitlist for Detroit, so I’m guessing if people withdraw their A’s from that campus then those on the waitlist have a chance of getting a seat in the Detroit campus.

Im not sure why either but it could be due to privacy concerns. What I can tell you is that the recent matches are on par if not better than what is publicly available online with many recent graduates matching into big academic centers around the country. Send me a DM if you must know.
 
Does MSUCOM have much waitlist movement from previous threads?
 
IS II received 02/13, completed 08/26/24
 
Does anyone have tips for the interview?
 
Are update letters frowned upon here? I’ve heard nothing since being marked complete. In the meantime, I got 2 articles accepted for pub into reputable journals as a 2nd author, so I thought an update may help my chances for getting an interview.

Called them the other day, yes they take them but it’s through the portal.
 
Since we upload thank you letters to the portal, did you guys address it to the admissions committee or the interviewer directly?

I thanked the admission committee for offering the interview, then talked about how I had the pleasure of meeting and conversing with my interviewer.
