No, Michigan does not have a supplemental application nor a supplemental fee.
No they do not! It says this on their VMCAS page in your app - the first tab (Home) and like 1/2 of the way down under “Important Info”
It’s possible. MSU sometimes goes off their proposed schedule. It all depends on the ability of the admissions team, and supporting staff availablity.
I submitted my app Sept 10 and received an email from MSU saying I passed the GPA requirement and my app was moving forward on Oct 14. I'm in state.
Also yes, but I submitted early august
Thanks for sharing. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for us both!
I'm OOS and received an email stating I'm verified on 10/10
Same for me.
This is the same series of events for me. I have not received anything else, I am wondering the same thing.
Me too!
Same here! Do they interview?
Their website says "Applicants will be invited for the interview based on the File Review Assessment and their performance in Academic Review"
Michigan state conducts both IS and OOS MMI. If selected for an interview you’d likely be notified in January to pick a date and time.
Best advice is to email them to clarify. MSU is notable for having mistakes in admissions.
Thank you! I did and attached copies of both emails as well.
Interesting. I’d guess a larger applicant pool this year, requiring more time for adcoms to review apps and send out interview invites?
Because MSU is notable for being late on their own timeline. Plus, in vet school applications you need to be flexible with timelines. Some of my class 2027 didn’t interview until April and be accepted till May because they were behind.
I'm OOS and just got the same email today! It said to expect an application status update email in "late-January".
I think its only post interview. I don't think we will hear anything until January since that what they said
I would go based on whatever they said in their email about the timeline. I’m a first year now. Last year they told us Dec 20th, and they were actually early and sent them Dec 13th. Highly doubt they are on the same timeline now if they have told you January. But yes last year they were on time or early on every phase they sent dates for. They will never send anything on the weekend. Interviews are required for almost all applicants, except I do know one person who did a special program through MSU in undergrad and didn’t interview. I know the wait suckssss. Hang in there!
Interviews are required of all applicants prior to sending acceptances. You can not be accepted without an interview.
They use their own calculations due to grade replacements.
that’s what i thought but they’re telling me they got the last 36 credits gpa from VMCAS but i could’ve sworn they don’t use it and on my saved pdf i don’t even see an option for last 36 credits and they said that my class doesn’t fulfill the requirement but the course description from my undergrad has what they want in it i’ve emailed them with everything hoping they messed up somewhere!
All I can say is don’t freak out yet. The grade calculations could have changed since I was accepted. Give them time to figure it out because more times than not it’s a mistake on their end.
Yes the same thing happened to me! MSU emailed me and said my last 36 gpa was too low. But I retook my 2 lowest grade classes and was above the 3.0 requirement- and I thought MSU only took the highest classes score. But according to VMCAS- which avg all retaken classes, I was below.
i was so confused because i thought they recalculate all GPAs but when i asked if they can tell me what column to look at they didn’t tell me… so i have no idea where to even look lol cause my overall says it meets the requirement sooo not sure if there’s like miscommunication or what but yeah sucks
Did you download your application? It’s at the bottom of the academic history portion of the application, it has all the calculated gpas in green.
i did and that’s what i was looking at but didn’t see the “last 36” i saw the other calculated gpas but was confused with the last 36 mostly because i thought they recalculated it and they couldn’t tell me what column on that saved pdf is the last 36
