I applied to Michigan! Has anyone heard anything?

 

[DrinkWater95]

Don't I almost lost my second committee chair ( just kidding) to that. Its like UF and FSU.

Haha I know that’s what I thought of. I complete and utter sin!

I think you got played. Michigan doesn't have a vet school.

 

[Teepster87]

. I’m assuming they probably received more applications

I believe they got somewhere around 1700 applications this year. That 500+ more than last year.

I saw in Iowa State's thread that there are a few hundred more applicants this year as well. Makes me wonder why.
Are there more people applying this year in general?
This surely makes me more nervous haha.

Probably more people applying and probably more people meeting the requirements since neither require the GRE sand MSU doesn’t look at your gpa after you meet the requirement

...is that not a vet school?

 

[futuredvm95]

I think teepster was referring to Michigan not Michigan state as discussed previously. Michigan state has a vet school. University of Michigan does not

 

[KDeVore]

And the rivalry between Michigan and MSU is ridiculous. Their games are so intense.

[Tru108]

I think IS gets them first and then OOS. Meanwhile here I am OOS, knowing this information, refreshing my email every 30 seconds

 

[KDeVore]

Yeah. Hopefully, they’ll send out OOS by next week. If they’re adhering to last year’s schedule it’ll be around the 14th/15th

 

[PandaEnthusiast]

Same, dude.

 

[MSUcvmHOPE]

Yes.

 

[KDeVore]

Congrats to y'all with interview dates!

 

[DrinkWater95]

Congrats to everyone who got interviews! Y’all are going to rock it

 

[NubianNuzzles]

Not sure if they’ll do this for OOS, too, but don’t be surprised if you don’t get an email until after 5pm. Mine came at 5:04pm...after I’d been obsessively checking my email since 7:45am. Don’t be like me, guys.😉

 

[Old-Country-Vet-Tech]

Some OOS will hear beginning of December as someone said.

 

[Smeece_]

I got an interview invite as well!! I’m in state!

 

[MSUcvmHOPE]

Just got confirmation, I'll be interviewing Nov 30th! So excited!

From MSU email like 4 sec ago:
"Yesterday we were able to send out notifications to all of our Michigan residents and those invited will interview in November and December. We are still evaluating applications for non-Michigan residents and will be doing so through the beginning of January. Interviews for non-residents will be conducted in January and February. Invitations for non-Michigan residents will go out starting in December and ending in February. We had a 41.2% increase in applications this year and so please have patience as we complete careful evaluation of all applications. "

I picked the wrong year to apply dear god 42% o...o

[PandaEnthusiast]

Another month of waiting 🙁

 

[KDeVore]

But just think, it’s a good thing! They’re taking a lot of time evaluating each applicant which is VERY good!

If you have the chance, work with children or teens. They make you learn reaaaal quick. or tutoring. They will also challenge all aspects of your patience.

In my msu essay I talked about working with kids at the horse rescue I was at. Most were kids in an alternative to juvi group home. We learned a lot from eachother and I linked it all back to the core values of the college. For VM-Cvm I also liked their prompt too..MSU and VM-Cvm actually really got me excited about writing.

 

[vetwhaley]

Are there others here still in undergrad? I've never checked my email more in my life! *scribble notes**refresh email**scribble notes**refresh email*

 

[muttmanager]

Despite the heart palpitations, I actually appreciate how communicative they're being. No shade to the more quiet schools lol

It sounds like you were inspired by some pretty awesome kids!! I’m sure admissions will look highly upon your experiences and essay about them.

I tried to fit my current volunteer work with homeless youth in the essay. I think I scrapped it because I kept forcing the subject and it didn’t sound like a natural response. But! I’m constantly learning life lessons (I.e diffusing situations) from them which hopefully will help in MMIs.

Same here. I thought oh gosh here’s a rejection email. Just because MSU is the school I was most unsure about applying to. Thank goodness it wasn’t.
