I am applying DO/PhD and just got released by AACOMAS this week. How long does it usually take to get the secondaries? I really hope to get them to my recommenders early. And so many acceptance already makes me nervous.
has anyone visited msu and had a really positive experience? i visited recently and walked away feeling totally underwhelmed and really disappointed. i would really like to hear some positive feedback!
p1acebo, are you originally from Troy??
Has anyone been accepted today? Around what time of the day on Wednesdays do Adcom start emailing acceptances or waitlists? I'm anxious!
hey guys, i just got an email indicating my acceptance today. Don't give up hope. Good luck everyone.
Go check out des moines, you definitely want to spend your next 2-4 years in a place where you feel comfortable. Dont worry about rankings, cost etc etc...
That being said, the reasons why i would go to MSU (in addition to that it would be really cheap for me) are location of the school (love EL, did my undergrad there), location of rotations (detroit area options), the students get along and are pretty chill.
Reasons why I wouldn't go? the fact that they bunch MD and DO students into the same class, but the pass/fail percentages are different (any current students want to elaborate on this?) and because I feel like they dont get to know their students (very few interviews)
does anyone know, or can anyone guess approximately what percentage of the class is full?
Hey people, I'm a first year at COM and I have a few friends applying in this cycle and was curious as too how full the class was too, I talked to admissions probably two weeks ago they said its not yet 50% (remember there are a hundred more seats to fill this year than last, so acceptances will be going out much later into the year). This number (<50%) may have changed since, but the outlook still looks positive. I guess the admissions committee has been on recess for the past few weeks that's probably why little news is coming in.
To everyone who's been accepted: congrats! Come here you'll love it! Fall semester is soo laid back, people are awesome. To everyone still waiting: good luck!
Congrats! We'll see you there in the summer. E. Lansing campus?Just paid my deposit today, so it's official, I'm in the Class of 2013!
Yup, E. Lansing. Know of any good apts/places for rent close to Lee Hall? I've heard that a lot of med students live at Berrytree...time to start looking for my new home!
i got an e-mail today!! msucom class of 2013!! woowoo!!! dont give up, guys!!
Its Fee Hall. Berrytree is popular but if you ever make it over to MSU for a tour they give you a big packet full of apartments appropriate for med students. Just a suggestion =)
Yeah...I knew that...was thinking Fee and wrote Lee, we have a Lee Hall here...now I feel stupid
Thanks for the correction
Congratz!!!!! I am keeping my hopes up....maybe next week will be my week!
Yo.....
Does anyone know when or if any movement there will be or usually is on the waitlist? I've been on it since Early Oct. With a guaranteed admission for 2010, and was told when visiting E.Lansing that i was probably in the upper 1/3rd of the list.....whatever that means. Does anyone know when last years class started to see movement on the waitlist. I would like to know what the deal is way before orientation in June, not no one month in advance notice, in May or April.
Also, I see some people getting acceptances recently. Why would they guarantee me a spot for 2010 but still be admitting people for 2009 and keep me on the wait list......i don't get it?

I just want to hear something from them... well anything except a rejection!
I am doing really well this semester though, faxing those grades in ASAP
