I withdrew on May 10th. I think all of us can relate to neuroticism when it comes to acceptance status 🙂

 

[Shinobiz11]

Last night I had a dream I was accepted here.

That's so awesome, I bet that is foreshadowing that your acceptance is right around the corner

Didn't know that existed...

 

[osteopathicdoc1234]

Hey guys! For those of you that were accepted.......how long did it take after you were accepted did you get financial aid award as well find out what location you were placed at?

 

[WastedTime]

fingers crossed for more movement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BeardedDinosaur]

Quick question for those who were accepted off of the waitlist, did any of you receive an email notification of your acceptance in addition to a phone call? Or was it only the latter? Thanks!

 

[osteopathicdoc1234]

Anyone know if we can just buy the anatomy course pack/ i-Clicker before hand at the bookstore....or are we suppose to wait till orientation 🙂 ????

Coursepacks are distributed to you on specific dates and times at the beginning of the semester and not purchased at the bookstore (unless they told you otherwise!). However, I expect you can get an iclicker at any time. The bookstore will beat any (in-stock, fulfilled by Amazon) price on Amazon by 10%.

I was never called haha I'm really starting to lose hope

 

[Toshiba123]

Maybe this yr the waitlist isnt moving as much. Can anyone confirm this?

 

[RedRose12]

At the May 8th visit. They did say there had been less wait list movement than usual up to that point, but they did not know why or if it may pick up later.

 

[ahawke100]

I'll be applying here this upcoming cycle. Definitely impressed by the school. The potential to not have to interview is very attractive as I won't be in the country for a portion of the cycle and would prefer to not pay for travel back and fourth. Thoughts on if I have much of a shot here?
GPAs 3.8+
MCAT: 25 (9 ps/6 vr/10bs)
*Ohio applicant
Reserach, work, clinical/non-clinical volunteering hours, DO shadowing, clubs, etc.
Excellent LORs

 

[MSUCOM19]

I have heard (from MSUCOM admissions) that there will be interviews starting next year! I may be wrong but Im 99% certain someone asked about that in my orientation group!

Saw that it lists an interview specifically as one of the admissions requirements on their webpage. I'm wondering if that's a new addition?

Yes indeed! It is looking that way. We're pilot testing the process this month. 🙂

 

[Ty223]

I hope this week brings good luck to all of us still on the wait list waiting to hear our fate

 

[FresherThanTide]

Damn, it looks there hasn't been any waitlist movement in the past few weeks from the look of this thread. 🤔

 

[WastedTime]

Pretty sure with their semester starting in a few weeks movement will be close to zero ... It was my number one choice so I'm as disappointed as many of u ... Hope u guys got at least one acceptance somewhere tho

Yeah it sucks. I have to say I am disappointed in their admissions team/system, for a number of reasons.

 

[BeardedDinosaur]

What is the last day we can expect to hear back from the waitlist?
