IN MY OPINION,
Numbers are a smaller part of the equation at MSUCOM than any of the other DO schools I had experience with (AZCOM, PCOM, DMU and Kirksville).
I was accepted at MSUCOM as an out-of-stater not because of my numbers which were above average on MCAT and about average on GPA at all the schools I applied to.
I was accepted because they have the most comprehensive and insightful secondary that I filled out. It's a painstaking process for them because they typically only interview about 170 people a year total. They grant about 140 acceptances for 125 spots. I'm not exactly sure on this but I think they waitlist most out-of-staters and they get in that way. They interview to confirm that they like you as much in person as they like you on paper.
I know things have been delayed through AACOMAS with the official MCATS and stuff. If you get an interview here, you'll likely be accepted. I was waitlisted at number 4 and it took around 3 months for the waitlist to move that much so I'd get an acceptance.
I'm not here to detract from any of the other DO schools because they all have merit and strengths. For me, MSUCOM was my top choice but it was hard to make the final decision to come here since I was accepted so late.
I'd write more but I have my last exam before spring break tomorrow at 7:30am!
Feel free to e-mail me with any Q's since I'll be home all next week.
