I got an email back in October that said my application was verified and it also said that for IS applicants they would hear back at the end of November for file reviews and for OOS it would be the end of December.

I got the same email on 10/30. Probably just starting to roll out on IS applicant file review emails!
 
This is what I got on 10/30. It says that IS will hear at the end of Nov and OOS will hear end of December. So you IS people hearing now makes sense.

I received the “did not meet academic requirements” email last night when I was 100% confident I did. I called admissions today and there was a mistake made that was not caught and would have disqualified me. They were very gracious and since they calculate their own GPAs, mistakes naturally happen. So if you’re in a similar position don’t hesitate to contact them! You know your application better than anyone 🙂

It means that you met the min. academic requirements, and now they will splice hairs to determine who will get an interview. Based on last years stats, IS had a 42% chance to get an interview, and a 21% chance to be accepted. OOS had a 13% chance to get an interview, and 4% chance of being accepted.
 
Does anyone else plan to apply for the dual degree PhD? I’m curious about the processes for applying. The website states that the PhD apps are usually due in January, but we can’t apply until we’ve been offered an interview.

I also understand that in the past IS interview invites have gone out before OOS. I’m OOS and since no interview invites have gone out yet I’m getting a little bit nervous about the turn around time.
 
My email last year stated IS will hear mid December and OOS will hear mid January. But that was last years schedule.
 
(sorry if this is a dumb question but I forgot ... 😅) Does Michigan interview out-of-state applicants? Or are they just given an acceptance/denial/waitlist?

Same, I never got it either. Last email said my app was undergoing academic review and that I'd know if it moved on to file review by the end of Dec.

Hi Guys! I got my verified email in October but I never heard anything back but I know people are getting interviews. Are they sending stuff in waves or ?

As an IS MSU undergrad/current graduate student, MSU CVM is struggling in terms of faculty. The Larry Nassar and Mel Tucker court cases have dramatically affected the funding available to all departments, and there is a significant faculty shortage at the CVM. Depending on who you speak to, many GP veterinarians refrain from sending referrals to MSU because of the cost and disorganization.

I really hope they get these things figured out, but I know they struggle every year with finding reviewers.

As a current student, I can reassure you that the CVM is working diligently to fill all open roles. I get emails every day about the interviews and candidates they have decided to try to pursue to come to the CVM.

Please try to remember the shortage of vets puts a strain on our schools not just MSU. There are only so many boarded vets in the world, so the process takes a while.

@annat009

also a current student. while nassar and tucker have certainly put MSU under a microscope, the issues mentioned here (faculty shortage, funding, cost of services etc.) is an issue across the board at many veterinary schools. not only is this the nature of academia, but academia has also failed for the most part to keep up with the salaries offered in private practice and in industry. this is a problem everywhere. MSU is not an exception.

Thanks for the insight! I was just feeling very discouraged after some particular conversations with some MSUCVM alumni. But they're obviously pretty removed from the situation at this point.
 
Just got the notification that my application has been sent to file review too haha. Now for another month of waiting 🥲
 
I got a notice saying I didn’t have the general biology and biochemistry 1 requirements. I was a bio major and had 9 biochem credits?!?! Does anyone know if they would look over my application if I contacted them?! I’m freaking out because I know I have the prerequisites
