From the Michigan website:
Up to 60% of the class will be selected based on exceptional SIS score and submission of a complete application. The remaining 40% of the class will be selected based on a competitive SIS score plus a committee file review and/or an interview. A complete application is composed of a an entire VMCAS application (application, ELORS, payment to VMCAS), GRE scores, transcripts from all accredited institutions attended, TOEFL scores (if required), and if requested, the supplemental application and $50.00 fee.
But no hint at WHEN they might be making their decisions! 😉

I really, totally, completely feel for you guys...4 of us got our interview dates around the 24th of January last year, so maybe you won't have to wait that long (unfortunately I don't have any inside information). It's exciting to see this thread move-MSU is a great school, and Hilda and Pat are great resources if you have any questions.
Got an email from michigan.
No interviews this round (unless the REALLY need clarification on your app)
They are mailing out acceptances to those with EXCELLENT SIS scores in mid feb. Other acceptances, rejections, and alternates will be sent out until late march.
and the waiting game continues. . . . . .

anyone heard anything yet?
I am taking a class for michigan pre-req, that I ONLY need for them.
I'd love to know if I'm rejected so that I can drop it (since I'm not even in school right now, I'm working night shifts as an emergency technician)
on the other hand. . .if i'm accepted, I will GLADLY finish up this class. 😛

MSU sent out their first round of acceptances at the end of last week (people received them on Saturday that were IS).
No, interviews are not required, in fact getting an interview probably wasn't a very good thing, but I don't think that they gave any out this year.

from my understanding it will be one batch mid-march (but they've changed their minds before on a few things). Waitlisters and rejections should go out end of marchish.
The first batch was based solely on a competitive SIS score (i.e. grades and GREs), the second batch will be based on your experiences, personal statement, letters of rec etc. in conjunction with your SIS score.
Hope that helps a little.

I hate not seeing this thread on the front page. lol. i cant wait till i hear from them. i really felt hopeful when they asked me to do a supplemental. it'd suck to get rejected. 🙁
i'm thinking positive though!

i emailed them. . . .file reviews are done this friday. letter going out 1st and 2nd week of march. . . .
When I saw the MSU thread up I was like holy crap someone either got accepted or found something out, then my anxiety immediately shot up, I cannot believe it is almost here AHH😱! Thanks for emailing them Dreamvet, I was trying to strum up the courage to do the same.

I think that they interviewed 4-5 people.
and you scared me because I thought it meant someone got their letter! 🙂
Me too!, The wait is almost over.Good luck to us all
amen to that! I'm seriously just ready to know either way .... my GRE scores expire after this admissions cycle and I want to start studying if I have to take them again. 🙁
you find out by mail, right?

so far, everyone in the first round of acceptances (which I've heard was meant to fill anywhere from 30-60% of the seats) heard via snail mail from what I know.
I don't know of anyone who has heard from this mid-march time yet though ... so hopefully they haven't gone out yet. I guess.

that's funny ... since their email that they sent out said middle of march. <roll eyes>. I feel bad for the out-of-staters who would want to come visit the school before making a decision ... I mean, geese y'all have a whole 2 weeks to do so then. Oh wait, their visit day is like april 6th, so make that less than that.
Changing their admissions process has really put a wrench in things this year.
Oh well, hopefully the wait will be worth it.

I am actually out of state but will be visiting family the from late March to week before the reception thing and it would be nice to know before I head out of town, then I could just postpone my flight home not buy another one out there. Oh well at least the wait is almost over🙂
I totally feel for you guys.. we are on spring break this week but we do have a "big sib" planning meeting on Monday - I'll see if I can find out anything new and if I do, I'll post it here. Hang in there....
If anyone has any questions about the campus, curriculum, etc, feel free to PM me.

I am SO impatient! I can't stand this wait!
I looked up the original email they sent out following receipt of the supplemental apps:

They did say "by the end" of March--I guess they have decided to take their time.
