I applied to MSUCOM. It is my first choice for osteopathic, and one of my top choices overall (I applied DO and MD). Anyhow, my file has been complete for a while now (had everything in by late July) and I haven't heard anything yet. Has anyone heard anything from MSUCOM? I am not panicking or anything, just curious if they have been inviting people yet.
 
They've actually accepted about 20 or so already, committee met wednesday or thursday to decide. They move very very fast, the entire class is usually full by the end of the year and there's waitlist movement (which I know nothing about) until the start of classes. Remember that there's a larger entering class, about 200-210, so it will be different.
If you want to call attention to your app, send in a letter of interest or just an update.
Best of luck!

I was complete August 8th, but i'm wondering what a good turn around time is/ Subtle you seem to know quite a bit about MSUCOM, is it too early to worry?

i don't remember the specific turn around last year for my application, just that it was almost immediately following my rejections from MSUCHM and Wayne State. I have been told that the CHM and COM admissions committees do communicate with one another quite a bit, since they're across the street from one another you'd expect that. your gpa sounds great and your mcat is about what i recall they tend to average, perhaps a point below, check the post with 2005 application cycle statistics for the mcat information, it should let you know where you stand. if you're out-of-state, it will be an uphill battle regardless of your scores. if you're instate you'll be in the running, assuming your LORs and essay are solid. they do move very quickly, i was accepted about a week after my interview and they have the class pretty well fleshed out by the end of the year. best bet is to call. i wouldnt get concerned until november, but keep an ear open for news of interviews and acceptances. kathy schafer, the director of admissions is wonderful, don't be afraid of her.
all the best.
 
I was complete at MSUCOM in mid-late August, interview invite received 8/31. According to their interactive interview scheduling website, they are now scheduling beginning 9/12. I'm out of state, ended up scheduling my interview for the end of October due to conflicts with my husband's work schedule.

no worries there, that's when i interviewed, i was accepted about a week later by phone. check the interview feedback portion of the site for help and i'm sure you'll do fine.
all the best!

I just recieved my email invite today. I was complete August 8th. They have three dates 9/19/ 9/26 and 10/3 all on Monday's
 
Mee too. Just received the invite via email today. I mailed my package a few weeks ago.

I'm pretty geeked about this school, since I'm in state.
