3.5/28 , usual ECs and research
High wait list email this morning, didn't see it till this evening. What a relief. And on a Thursday of all days... I'm feelin' good.
Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back- keep the faith!
when were you complete?
You might still have to put a deposit down. You'll get the information pack in the mail in a week or so.
I think you pay the deposit for the year you plan on attending. If you're in for 2017, I don't think a deposit needs to be paid. If you get off the high wait list, that's when you pay I believe. I'm basing this off the fact that people who defer acceptance for a year don't typically pay a deposit.
Hey Doc!People at TouroCOM NY who were accepted for 2016 last year had to do it. I personally know one student accepted there for 2016 and paid the deposit. Reapplied to different schools this cycle and was accepted to MSU and will lose that deposit. I'm not 100% sure, but I could see it being done.
I was complete early December. December 7th I believe. A fellow on here was accepted (2017/High wait list, like me) a week earlier than I and he was complete December 9th (which means we were both in the same review cycle.)
It looks like if you meet the stats and stand out, even if your MCAT's not so good or if your GPA isn't that high, you have a good chance. But either or. Typically, people accepted now have a mediocre MCAT and a fantastic GPA/classwork trend (like myself) or a killer MCAT and a lower GPA (nothing too outrageous though). Although I'm positive other things factor in. I did a year + of volunteer research and had a pretty hefty load of EC's (although most were from my pre-college years.) I'm trilingual too. MSU really looks at stuff like that.
thanks mate! i was complete dec 18th so im still waiting for a decision
So as I said, keep the faith. I have a friend who I consider a fine candidate with a higher MCAT than mine who was complete months ago and STILL hasn't heard back. So if you're in that boat, you're not alone. And I hear the high wait list moves relatively quickly, so they're probably going to have more of those spots open up (despite the class being full.)
And there are still 2 more months of deliberation going on. That email they sent the applicants that said the review processes sometimes goes on beyond March was sincere.
I wish you the best of luck!
I will be withdrawing my acceptance today. Got accepted to AZCOM. Good luck to everyone hoping for MSUCOM.
Does anyone know how likely it is that you will get into MSUCOM if they put you on the regular waitlist? I just found out about the high priority waitlist and I've never felt so heartbroken in my life! I visited the school today thinking I had a good shot at getting in, fell in love with it, and then got my heart ripped out researching this waitlist stuff. I'm being overdramatic of course, but if anyone has decent info about it I would really appreciate it. I'm going to visit the admissions office to see if I can get any answers there but that might be a while since I've got a full time job right now. So whatever the cold hard truth is, lay it on me please!

Congratulations for getting selected to the prestigious AZCOM. May I ask why you are withdrawing from MSUCOM and selecting AZCOM? Is it because AZCOM is better or some other reason. Thanks
Reason #1 - I was incredibly impressed with the faculty there. The instructor for pharm. spoke to us first and explained her reason for teaching at AZCOM instead of the Ivy league schools such as Harvard and Yale, which she had the opportunity to do so. The faculty at AZCOM are selected to teach because of their love for teaching, not how much grant money they bring. AZCOM is much less a reseach school than a teaching school. She told us of a few professors who could have brought millions in grant money but were rejected a position because they didn't show they were great teachers. As a result of their love for teaching, the cirriculum is especially successful.
Reason #2 - Tuition (as an OOS at MSU) is cheaper than MSU. True, I could have recieved the OOS scholarship, but I read on the website only a few OOS students receive it. Why chance having to spend 73K when 51K is gaurenteed at AZCOM?
Reason #3 - They have THE MOST incredible facilities I have seen. AZCOM's patient encounter rooms actually mimic physician offices, ICU rooms, OB rooms, etc. Also, every two cadavars in the lab have a 42" plasma screen TV to catch the details of that day's dissections. The have two separate cadavar rooms, but with the cameras, TV's and microphones, you can raise your hand in one room and speak with the professor in the other room, without leaving your spot.
Reason #4 - They have incredible match rates into specialties and their respective prestigious rotations.
Reason #5 - They have an incredible intramurals program that every one gets involved in. Anything from basketball, softball, kickball, volleyball, tennis, etc. This one is just a bonus reason, though.
Overall, I felt AZCOM actually loves their students and provides every chance for success. Not that MSUCOM doesn't, but AZCOM reallys shows it.
I know the explaination is lengthy, but it was an excellent choice for me.
56 k tuition + living[/QUOTE As Canadians do we have to apply for the scholarship for Canadians or we get it automatically? can we get line of credit without co signer? which bank is the easiest to get Loc from? how soon can we get affidavit of support from bank? Again which bank in Canada is the quickest to get Affidavit of support from? Can someone please provide me the answers to my above questions Asap .Thanks
Hey guys, anyone know where they'll likely stick the people on the high waitlist if they get in this cycle? Have they traditionally just shipped you off to Lansing? I'd rather stay around the metro Detroit area to be honest.
I would like to know this as well. I'm hoping I get East Lansing to be with le boyfriend. Also, if you defer a year do you still get a say in where you end up? HotandCold, if I get Detroit and you get East Lansing, let's switch.
Hi everyone
Just wanted to say that I was put on the high wait list for the class of 2016, with guaranteed admission for class of 2017 ( Canadian student). Funny thing is that, even if I get accepted, I will most likely defer it to next year anyways- just works better for me.
Anyways, very excited. Open to any suggestion on how to finance this (other than the traditional routes for Canadians).
Maybe some of the US students can chime in... how does FAFSA work? Do they offer any "loan forgiveness" like Ontario's OSAP does? I'm a US and CDN citizen... so it would be neat to try to take advantage of that... ha ha.

Hi everyone,
I was placed on the high wait list 1/26/12 and accepted 2/6/12!
Just wanted to post this for those who are wait-listed and waiting to hear back. Good luck!
And if people want to know my stats:
Completed: 12/22/11
GPA: 3.5/4.0
sGPA: 3.4/4.0
MCAT: 29P
Extras: Hospital, ER, and Abroad medical experience, volunteer, etc.
-MSUCOM Class of 2016
Congrats! Did you receive an email? Or letter in the mail?
I just want to clear something up here: Are there applicants who have been wait-listed but NOT guaranteed a spot in the class of 2017? Trying to figure out if this "high priority wait-list" is a construct of this SDN thread because nowhere in my email did it say "high priority wait list" but I was guaranteed a spot in the class of 2017, but as per some others in this thread, if you're guaranteed a spot next year without reapplication then its "high wait list." Anyone know the facts on this?
Thanks! I received an email and they will be mailing my packet soon.
CONGRATS! when did you hear about the high wait list? Thanks!!
