Snail mail.

It would be nice if the process allowed for students who are admitted to actually visit the schools they receive an acceptance letter from so they can make an informed decision. The closer to April 15th decision letters are mailed the more difficult it becomes to make that decision. What school are you leaning towards Katie8?

Well, I really want to go to my IS (North Carolina), but right now Minnesota it is! What about you?

 

[NYGXLVIChamps]

Same here, looking like Minnesota! I was so impressed with the school during my interview weekend. I feel very blessed to have been offered an OOS seat.

I just got my wait list letter, so I think they've made their decisions already.

Do they let you know in your letter where you are on the waitlist? Waitlist is better than a rejection!! 😀

 

[NYGXLVIChamps]

Wait list letter just arrived. No number given. However, I contacted Donna Grooms about a month ago and she told me they received ~600 OOS applications for ~36 OOS seats, and they typically make 150-180 offers to fill those seats. Initial offers are obviously limited as to not 'overfill' the class.

Well... couple people have posted today that they received waitlist letters in the mail so I've been kinda freaking out all day because I didn't get any email (so no acceptance) and I had to wait 'til my parents get home since I have their house as my address still. Well my dad just called and said he checked the mail and there was no letter there at all. So now I'm really confused. I live in MI, only a few hours away from MSU actually, so if other people received letters I don't see how mine would have been any slower than others..

I'm hoping no news is good news but I'm also really worried that no news is terrible news haha...I think this whole process is making me crazy...midterms also don't help the situation

I received my wait-list letter in the mail today as well =( Better than a flat-out rejection I guess. Does anyone know if the IS wait list moves at all? I'd assume not, but I wasn't sure.

I, also, still have heard nothing, and I live like 45 minutes from Lansing. When Katie8 called just recently they said they still had a stack to go through. So maybe we're in there?

I was waitlisted last year, and they told me when I did my file review that I was in the middle third of the waitlist. I didn't get called off....so here I am applying again. I know that doesn't really answer your question too specifically, but if it moves it didn't get to the middle third last year 🙂

Hi everyone. I don't know if I'm the only person left waiting, but I'm an IS student and didn't get anything from MSU yesterday or today. I just sent them an email asking what is going on an I will let you know what response I get.

 

[makeitbeautiful]

I haven't seen my wait list letter yet because I go to Central which is like 2 1/2 hours from home, but my mom told me the letter was dated Feb 23 and was mailed on the 28th. I'm from the metro Detroit area, so about an hour or so away from Lansing. She said the letter starts with "We have completed our selection of students for the college of vet. medicine class of 2016". It's strange that a) you guys haven't heard anything yet, and b) the woman Katie8 spoke to on the phone seems to have not known what she was talking about at all?

Maybe they've already made their decisions and haven't got around to sending out acceptance emails yet and you guys will be hearing good news soon? I can't believe they would waitlist people without having made all of their decisions already...

 

[rayray13]

It doesn't make any sense to me either. I just tried calling the office and got the answering system.

You're not the only one, I'm also IS and still waiting

Gosh I hope that is true!! lol

It is getting so frustrating waiting and not knowing anything...I just keep thinking as long as it's good news I'll be okay with the waiting...unfortunately the longer I have to wait the less optimistic I am about it!

 

[sloths101]

Hi guys! I'm new to this but I've been following for a while. Thought it was time to make an account 🙂 I also received an alternate letter today from MSU. It was dated Feb 23rd and like makeitbeautiful said the first thing the letter state was that they have completed their selection of students for the class of 2016. I hope you hear good news soon! I know I was going crazy not having heard anything. I started to think that they lost my application somewhere haha

On a different note, does anyone have an idea of how many OOS students are placed on the alternate list or any more information about it? I'm trying to decide if I should take animal nutrition online but I would like to have an idea of how many people usually get off the wait-list.

 

[cvilleresler]

Well, I am on my way home from Welcome Day now, and I must say I was impressed. MSU is awesome!
Thank you to anyone who helped out today. It was fun and informative!

 

[bandierose]

I'm OOS and I still haven't heard a thing. I tried calling twice today and there was no answer.

So you're for sure set on msu? You shoud probably drop that ugly black and gold avatar if you're moving to Michigan. Maybe for something a little more round and red? With a wing on the side? 🙂 Where at in SWPA are you from?

 

[rayray13]

I'm OOS and I still haven't heard a thing. I tried calling twice today and there was no answer.

I'm IS and still haven't heard a thing. They are apparently ignoring their phone this week. I got no answer when I called yesterday or today either.

 

[makeitbeautiful]

I'm thinking that maybe it's MSU's spring break? I'm not sure if the office gets spring break off along with the students, but it's just a guess. I go to CMU and our spring break just started today. MSU's is usually the week before or after ours.

 

[cshep09]

I got my rejection today 👎 expected so I'm fine haha but that means they are actually doing things! Mine was dated for March 1st

Also, I've lived in Michigan 9 years and still bleed black & gold. NEVER GIVE IT UP. Its so fun to rub it in some wing's faces

 

[animallover23]

YES

Same here (well I haven't tried to call but I still haven't heard a thing)

Also does anyone remember if the supplemental had a place for current address and all that? I'm pretty sure I just left both my addresses as my parents house but now I'm worried I didn't and I don't think I checked my school mail in a few days and now I'm home for spring break! ahh! I don't want to spend my whole break stressing that the envelope is just sitting there at school!

 

[animallover23]

Turns out no news is NOT good news...got my rejection today...it definitely hurts. a lot. :cry:

I guess now I'll just hope for a phone call from Auburn...come to think of it 4 years of nice weather might be a welcome change from MI haha..I guess I'll . If no call comes I'll be stuck here in MI for the next year until I can put myself through this whole applying and waiting hell again haha

anyway good luck to everyone who got in or is on the wait list!

 

[rayray13]

I also recieved a rejection letter today. Which confuses me since I got waitlisted last year. Well shoot....now my husband and I have it fight it out on whether we're going to to move to Ohio or Mississippi. We're not coming to an agreement as of now.... Ah well, we'll figure it out 🙂

 

[willi228]

After visiting one of Michigan State's Welcome Days, I decided to turn down my offer there. Be ready, OOS waitlisters!

 

[cvilleresler]

Haha.. very funny, but there's no chance of me rooting against my pens no matter where I move to. Not even for those old wings...
I am not sure about it yet, as I am deciding between OSU and MSU. Both are so awesome; its so hard to decide. I am from an hour south of pitt, around 7springs.
How about yourself?

 

[equine2be]

I'm thinking that maybe it's MSU's spring break? I'm not sure if the office gets spring break off along with the students, but it's just a guess. I go to CMU and our spring break just started today. MSU's is usually the week before or after ours.

I went to the Welcome Day on March 2, and yes this week is Spring Break for most students, however not for vet students (it's next week). They said the admissions staff (most of them, the ones not running Welcome Day) were out of the office on March 2nd. Not certain if they are in this week, but if you don't get a response, that is why. Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone who hasn't yet heard!

 

[VickiHarkins]

Hi. Never posted to a thread before so hopefully I am doing this correctly.

I have been accepted into the Michigan State CVM Class of 2016!! Super excited! Wanted to get to know some of my classmates!!

 

[truffleshuffle]

Hello! Anyone going to welcome day on the 30th and interested in sharing a room to cut costs?

 

[psilovethomas]

Just bumping to let applicants know that the CVM has its annual open house next Saturday the 14th. I will be there with my boyfriend. Sounds like it will be a lot of fun.🙂

Also, do any applicants who are still deciding have any questions?

Who has officially accepted MSU?
