Might you remember the time of day it was when you received the acceptance call?

 

[femmegoblue]

It was 9:26 AM!

Most calls seem to have been in the morning, but mine came after 12pm, so don't lose hope if you don't get a call early!

 

[positivedeltaS]

Has anyone that interviewed on 9/20 heard anything yet?

 

[canucklehead]

Congrats!! Mind sharing your stats?

Hi yes sorry for the late reply; GPA: 3.6 and MCAT:510. Is there anyway to check the GPA as calculated by MSUCOM?

 

[becomingdoctor]

Hey hopeful future Spartans

Interviewed on 9/29 for DO and DO-PhD. Anyone have an idea of when we could hear back for the DO program? Have an absolutely delightful day.

They should tell you during MMI. They won't reject u since you have gone so far with dual program office. Either acceptance or waitlist.

Go to your AACOMAS home page, click "check status" in the upper right corner, click MSUCOM, click "download PDF". Scroll down to ~page 8 of the PDF and it will have all your calculated GPA's.

From what I remember when Anne went over my application last cycle when I was rejected, MSUCOM pulls up your file and sees three GPA's: undergraduate science, post-bacc science, and graduate science. All pulled from your AACOMAS.

Hope that helps!

What did you guys think of the interview? MSUCOM's dean came and talked at my undergrad school and I absolutely loved the guy. Dr. Ruger is awesome too!

I really liked the MMI. I also greatly appreciate the relative shortness of the day. I feel that lunch, seminars, financial aid/housing presentations etc. should be reserved for accepted students day.

Looks like it may be too late in the day to get the magic phone call today which means this week 🙁

Do you/did you feel like the MMI gave you a fair chance to represent yourself?

 

[YayPudding]

Absolutely. The primary and secondary outline one's academics, motivations and interests. The MMI enables candidates to display their thought processes, any biases and ability to think well under a little pressure.

Cool! Good to hear some positivity about MMI's.

What is an OOS student looking at in terms of total loans for all 4 years? I am pursuing DO-PhD, but in case that doesn't pan out what am I facing in order to attend here?

 

[Neurality]

Interviewed 9/29... I was hoping for a quick turnaround again but looks like I'm in the waiting boat again till Monday.

Your best bet would to grab a scholarship. Otherwise, it is almost 80k per year which doesn't include living expenses. You'd be looking at over 370k in loans for tuition+living expenses for 4 years.

I interviewed on 9/29 as well and we probably won't hear back for another week at least.

I know 1 week was unlikely lol. I suppose I was feeling greedy after hearing back in 1 week from DMU

That's fast! I just interviewed there yesterday lol

 

[Rabu4]

I hope some of you 9/20's hear back this coming week!

 

[genessis42]

I submitted my secondary Sept 20. Hope it's not too late, is it?

Last year, I submitted around this time and got the interview in less than a month. Im guessing msucom must be backed up with even more apps

 

[fundingfree]

Every time I get an email I have a heart attack. Hoping everyone gets good news soon!

 

[YayPudding]

Cross every finger and toe, pull out your rosary beads and do the rain dance.

If she is a second year then she never interviewed here. The interviews started last year.
