Canadian here with an II.
Does anyone want to provide any details about the interview? I am concerned as I am not particularly knowledgeable about the current/previous US medical care (i.e. Obama care ect).

I don't know if mmi will go this specific. But you should have enough time to read about it. Actually, not a lot of American knows too much about it. One thing to notice is stay within the boundary of heathcare, don't get too political, you may unknowingly offend people that way.

What are your stats like? when did you finish secondary?
 
Congratulations to everyone getting calls! 🙂

Would any of you mind sharing if you're Canadian/OOS and when you completed secondary and II?

Do you or @JaymezYu know if there is a deadline that we need to reserve our spot/pay the deposit by? I couldn't find it in the forms anywhere and haven't had time to call admissions

On the AACOM website/pdf it says to deposit by Dec. 4th if you are accepted before Nov.1 but I think you should still call to confirm.
 
Congrats to all who have been accepted!!! 😀 Now, since some of you have been accepted, would you mind giving some interview feedback considering it won't affect your results 😛.
Lol. I just wanna know how many stations there were! Please and thank you!!
 
App fully complete 8/1, but I haven't heard back yet. Any chance left.....?
 
Absolutely, you may not hear back for a few months and still get in. This process is a crapshoot.

Go to your msu app site and they have "what to expect" document, which I think is very informative. If you want to know more about about MMI, there are a lot discussion in pre-MD section you can utilize, particularly MSUCHM, which has been using MMI since 2011.
I believe we have the same interview day, everyone gets nerves when it is MMI or interview in general, but this is just a part of the doctor-selection process. Be yourself, give interviewers what you've got, and I believe they will give you back what we deserve.
Peace
 
anyone having trouble accessing the secondary portal?
 
Whats everyones thoughts on the 3 different campuses?? Going to visit the DMC this week...heard its a lot more modern
 
Just submitted my secondary except AACOMAS is being really stupid and has yet to get my MCAT scores... smh.
 
Just accepted the offer and paid my deposit! I cancelled my remaining interviews as well. Feels good to be completely done with my application cycle before September. Hopefully I'll see you in class next year. I'm from MI so if anyone from out of town has any questions about the area let me know. Good luck everyone!

I wouldn't be surprised if you're the first incoming member of the class of 2020! Congratulations on having the shortest application season I've ever heard of. :soexcited:

Super envious! Having an acceptance ANYWHERE by October is my dream cycle. To have one at MSUCOM before September would be... Idk. haha. Best of luck to you!

Ok? Did you get an interview or are you trying to figure out your chances?

Sorry DrPatriot. New to this site and just figured out how to do this insert quote device. Last time I pressed + Quote instead of reply, lol. I was just answering the question about my gpa and mcat to my fellow Canadian applicants who asked. I have scheduled my interview for September!

Oh nice well best of luck to you! What part of Canada?
 
Hey all don't know if this has been discussed yet, but I submitted my letters about 3 weeks ago (a little under three weeks) through interfolio, and it hasn't updated my status. It says that it has been received in the document status button, but it still has a red check under the status section. I've called twice, and they just say to call back when it's three weeks, since someone else downloads the letters for them. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Hey! I had the same issue. I wouldn't worry about it. They have your letters in their system, they just haven't physically been downloaded and attached to your app. It took about four weeks after being "complete" for the letters to actually show up under document status.

Ok thank you! I called once more and the problem was resolved. 🙂
 
I got an interview on 8/6 and scheduled for Sept. 11 in the PM session. Pretty nervous about what to expect for their MMI. I've been practicing answering common MMI questions and just have been practicing discussing a topic for 6-8 minutes. What have other people been doing to prepare? Congrats to all of those who are already accepted and good luck to those who still have interviews or are completing secondaries.
