Has anyone who interviewed on 11/30 still hasn't heard anything? I know no news is better than bad news but at this point, something feels wrong...

Heard last Tuesday- A

 

[deleted1166528]

Does anyone who has gotten an A recently have any more info about how many seats are full so far (I thought I read here somewhere detroit campus was full already but wasn’t sure about Macomb or EL)

 

[thecookiemonster1012001]

Just found this thread but got an A from a few months ago! Canadian

congrats! what were your stats and how much longer after the interview did you hear?

 

[somedaydr3333]

Sent a PM!

 

[MedBoyIA]

Thanks guys!

 

[StretcherPusher826]

I have a LM 63, submitted secondaries around end of October, in state applicant. Have around 5,500 clinical hours, traditional student. Still no interview, getting nervous. If I submitted secondaries in october on average how long would it take to hear back?

Thanks guys!

I submitted in September and heard back early November. I saw someone else submit in october and get an invite a few days later. I don't think there's any rhyme or reason to when you hear back, unfortunately.

Let’s all get an a today

its not lookin like today man

So painful

 

[starwarsnerd9]

I had my interview today and contrary to what most people have been saying, i actually had a pretty poor interview experience :/ my interviewer didn’t smile once and actually was intimidating right off the bat. Luckily im pretty experienced with interviews at this point, so when he threw some curveballs at me i felt like I handled them well, but one question i had really threw me off and the way I answered it actually couldn’t have been worse. I’ll definitely take the blame for part of the reason i felt like it was a bad experience, but I really wish I had a better interviewer. Hoping for a miracle because it is one of my top choice schools.

 

[starwarsnerd9]

I had the same experience.. my interviewer seemed rushed too. We finished in like 10 minutes and he didn’t even ask me tell me about yourself

smh hopefully we both get in

 

[eneebee]

smh hopefully we both get in

My friend had a similar experience and he got in!

I thought MSUCOM was my worst interview and it's currently my only acceptance, so don't lose hope! Wishing you the best!

Yes I think MSUCOM's interview format is a bit flawed... I had a similar experience. It's tough when everything hinges on one short interview. I think because of that, I was waitlisted at MSUCOM after having a bad interview. But then I was accepted at another school in Michigan, Wayne State, after a good interview. I'm OOS and had borderline acceptable stats for MSU and below average for Wayne

Interview 11/30, still no decision. MSU's holiday break is nearly 4 weeks long so I'm holding out hope that when they said 4 week turnaround time, maybe they meant 4 business weeks? They did say there would be a delay because of the holidays but damn.

 

[Sefereneble]

Any current MSUCOM students here that can answer a few questions for me?

 

[Aundercoverdoc]

Got the acceptance call today around 5:30 PM EST!!
IS, reapplicant. Interviewed 12/04

 

[Futurdoc2]

Anyone else from the 12/4 interview hear back today?

 

[ariskyone]

Nope but today is the day hopefully! Super pumped

Would you guys recommend me doing the interview if I already have acceptances at NYIT and DMU?

 

[StretcherPusher826]

Would you guys recommend me doing the interview if I already have acceptances at NYIT and DMU?

Would you choose MSUCOM over those schools if you got accepted?

 

[YoungDaggy]

Would you choose MSUCOM over those schools if you got accepted?

Well that’s what I don’t know😂 I guess I should’ve worded my question better to something like “is MSUCOM as good as the other two?” I already paid my NYIT deposit so idk anymore

 

[Howdie]

Well that’s what I don’t know I guess I should’ve worded my question better to something like “is MSUCOM as good as the other two?” I already paid my NYIT deposit so idk anymore

I had As to KCU, DMU, NYITCOM-Ar, and AZCOM. I chose MSU over all of them. P/F, abundant research opportunities, solid clinical rotation sites, and affiliated residency programs. I didn’t consider cost and location so if those are important to you, that should be factored into your decision as well!

 

[StretcherPusher826]

Well that’s what I don’t know😂 I guess I should’ve worded my question better to something like “is MSUCOM as good as the other two?” I already paid my NYIT deposit so idk anymore

Basically everything @Howdie said. I feel like MSU has everything an MD program has to offer

 

[premed-49]

Well that’s what I don’t know😂 I guess I should’ve worded my question better to something like “is MSUCOM as good as the other two?” I already paid my NYIT deposit so idk anymore

I am turning down my A to DMU and rejected my interview from CCOM once I got an A from MSUCOM. I am IS which makes MSUCOM a more cost effective option, but from my research, it seems that MSUCOM is the best COM I applied to. I loved it even more after touring!

 

[hello-doc]

Basically everything @Howdie said. I feel like MSU has everything an MD program has to offer

Yes, because MSU literally has a MD school... which means MSUCOM probably also meets all LCME (MD) accreditation standard.

Not sure if the situation is different these days but a family member that's an MSUCOM grad said the COM and CHM students took the same classes in preclinical

 

[someonenotme]

when are we supposed to get the acceptance email after the call? i kinda forgot half of what she told me over that call

 

[Futurdoc2]

WL this morning 12/4 interview

 

[MiMan]

Congrats on your acceptances today.

I received a wait-list offer this morning after 12/6 interview. I am reeling because this is the only school I have interviewed at so far and my #1 choice. I was wondering if anyone can share any information about how many people are on the wait-list and how likely it is to get a spot? Posts from previous years say something about a waitlist tier system but my notification did not say anything about a tier list making me extremely worried. And should I communicate or reach out to the admissions in any way?

i heard they got rid of that this cycle

I went back a couple pages this cycle and no one got a tier raking with the WL email. they may not be doing it this year

I was doing the same thing haha. I know this school has pretty high turnover for waitlisted applicants especially because I am IS so I remain hopeful. But it is not comforting to be waitlisted when other folks are still being interviewed and accepted. I wish I knew how many spots they have left to fill before they start accepting waitlisted applicants.

 

[eneebee]

Has anyone from the 12/7 interviews heard back yet?
