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.

I absolutely agree with this as well! I didn't share my amount of hours for numerical comparison, I just have so many varied experiences that listing them off felt funny without attaching some sort of number to them to indicate that I had both breadth and depth of those experiences. It's ABSOLUTELY how you wrote your essays and worded everything else. I think the MSU-specific college values essay was especially important!

God, @Teepster87 you should try to be a bit more anonymous.

So, I am a noob to SDN (it is quite apparent), but if this anonymous @Teepster87 likes one of your posts, does that mean you are becoming SDN famous? Asking for a friend...

Yes, I know this post belongs in Random Stuffs, but I feel like it is too random to talk about there, and more relevant here.

I don't think you're becoming famous. My opinion barely matters anywhere besides MSU threads

I'm pretty sure you can't be SDN famous until you've played at least one game of WW tbh. It's like... a requirement.

Did they tell you an estimated date for when you would hear back? Last year it was exactly the day they told us at interviews, after 4 PM.

They told us the week of Dec 17th is when we'll start to hear. I was hoping it would be the same as how I got my interview invite (first day after 5pm).

If it's anything like how last year's thread made it sound, we'll probably hear back next Wednesday. (Also Donna said probably not Monday or Tuesday).
Only one more week!!! 😱
 
To those who were offered an interview have you gotten a confirmation email yet? I’m still waiting for mine

I am still waiting for a confirmation email, I hope it went through since they said we would hear back in 48 hours.

I am sure everything is fine. They did mention an increase in applicants this year and asked for our patience (this is something I am constantly working on myself, so I understand where you are coming from), and this increase in applicants (along with other potential situations that may have arisen) is probably delaying the process a bit on their end (even though they did technically say 48 hours). They gave us until the 17th to give them a decision, so I wouldn't worry just yet. As the 17th comes closer, and if we still don't hear anything in a couple of days, then I will worry with you! haha 😛
 
Which is the best airport to fly into the day before interviews?

If lansing works for you it's small and easy access, very close. If not Grand rapids (1hr away ish) is a really nice airport but that side of the state gets more snow... Flint is small and easy (1hr ish away) and Detroit is fine but several hours away

From previous years I thought I remembered reading that another wave came out a week later and they were always on Mondays but I could be thinking of another school

Any other ISers feel like Luke Bryan understands our constant email-checking this week? :dead:

“I wake up, I check it, I shower and I check it
I feel the buzz in my truck
And I almost wreck it
I always got it on me
Just in case you want me
So, if you’re looking for my love
Then light it up”
