Top school is anywhere that sees what an applicant has to offer, values them, and offers an A. I’ll always give credit to MSU on their culture and mission, they’re one of the few that understand the importance of service to marginalized communities and lives by it. Not just another copy and paste mission/values you see at every other school.
First off, the current MSAR data for MSU isn’t updated to reflect the most recent cycle. Second, the 518 for in-state applicants represents the 90th percentile, meaning there are definitely students accepted with scores higher than that. There just aren’t as many, since they’re already a bit above the average to begin with. You also have to keep in mind that U of M is right next door, and a lot of higher-scoring applicants who see U of M as a better fit for their future—especially given its prestige—might not even apply, or follow through, with MSU if they are getting traction at UofM or elsewhere. Plus, there are always students with strong scores who just prefer other schools or want to stay closer to home.
Nah you were totally right there, I edited to remove previous misinformation there.
I haven't yet.
I haven’t
I interviewed 9/29 and was admitted on 10/15, but I think they only sent out a couple at that point, so I wouldn't be worried!
Mine was 9/25 and that was the first interview day of the cycle, so I would assume there are 2 interview days per month since I've seen 10/9 and 10/14 as interview dates too.
Got the acceptance call**
Update - got the A! ~ 3 pm
I wish I could but my last name starts with an A 🥲
I mean, this was just a guess on my part - it could be based on a bunch of different things. It's not over until it's over!
bruh you got an interview.
Congrats! Can I ask when you were complete?
Same here. Lower stat applicant in-state and have not heard anything but have decent ties. I really want this school but genuinely have no idea whether it's a good or bad thing that we have not heard anything yet.
these waves of R's tells ups one thing, That they're not afraid to send them. IIRC MSU says that they space so late interviews are not basically WL spots. We obviously dont get to see behind the curtain, but if we were rejected, they would tell us decent soon after and not wait till march
Makes sense, figured I would get one quick as a relatively low stat OOS applicant. Guess you never know
Thank you! completed 8/30 🙂
