Congrats everyone! My girlfriend got an interview too. Was wondering how likely it is to get your top choice in dates. Anyone have an idea?
My GPAs are less than 3.2 in all categories, but as long as GPA was over 3.0 they stopped considering that, as far as I'm aware. Collectively about 12,000 hours of experience in SA, LA, research, wildlife, and government (regulatory medicine and public health).
You’re wild if you think it’s going to do anything productive. It’s just going to stress you out more or if you have more hours than someone and DON’T get an interview and they do, it’s going to make you mad. Chill out a bit bro. There’s nothing more you can do at this point to make your app better than someone else’s on here. Comparing stats can just make people who did get interviews but had lower hours feel like they didn’t deserve it because they didn’t have as many hours.You’re wild if you think half of the people on here aren’t here to see how they stack up and what the applicant pool is like.
I reply because people try and unnecessarily compare themselves and cause themselves more stress than they need to be under. Chill out a bit maybe? Read a book? Take a hike? Those are all much more productive things for you to do than stress out about people getting interviews with more or less hours than you. MSU is not completely based on how many hours you have. Which, you should know, since you said you are aware of how they evaluate candidates.I have never seen someone more inclined to have to respond to literally every post on a forum.

Uh I don’t go on the APVMA Facebook page soooooooRegardless of whether or not it’s justified or the right thing to do, it’s what a lot of people come on here for. Wouldn’t it be a lot more productive for you to let people ask whatever they want instead of policing every single thread (and Facebook post too btw) and correcting people?
The applications are out of the hands of the people who applied for this cycle, yes, but it’s still informative for people applying going forward. Gives people encouragement, ideas for future experiences to aim for, etc so wwhhhoooooo caaarreeeesssss
I know!They were technically 18 when classes started. I still haven't figured out who it is...

My name is in my username but I'd never ever post anything I wouldn't want a school or a job to find. Some of my undergrad friends don't seem to think that jobs can find your "hidden" Instagram xD
The best part is if a future employer was to ever find you here, the only dirt they’d find on you is ski and Finn yelling at you for bailing on them at dinnerMy future employers are going to have to pay just like everyone else for my premium snapchat

.You don't think that's the kind of thing that would make an employer reconsider? He stood us up!

Thanks to those of you who responded to my question like a normal person and for sharing your stats. It is much appreciated.
lmaoo being last in line for everything - who can relate??I know it’s completely irrelevant, but my last name starts with a Z and it just made me happy to see you!

Edit: Does anybody know how they send out the invitations in waves? I.e, are those that received the invitations already considered "more competitive" applicants in their eyes?
I think the way they review applications is pretty random, but don't quote me on that.
But something I would like to add to the comparison discussion is that MSU cares about numbers just like any school as far as experience and such go, but they also care about how you wrote about those experiences. Did you write complete sentences in your experiences section? Did you highlight some unique aspects of those experiences in your essays? As much as seeing someone else's numbers might help (or hurt) your level of hope/confidence in your own stats, the presentation you put forth in your application matters and can also impact the decisions the admissions team makes.
