You are almost three standard deviations above their median MCAT!

That is 10 LizzyM points above their median!!!!!

Is that post bac? or straight up ug gpa? Impressive non the less.

Meh. My app definitely has some strong weak points too.
I have no 'official' shadowing as of yet, and my volunteering is on the low side. I was hoping my nontrad+veteran status would help balance that out, but as of now MSU is my only II. dont worry lol, you'll do fine...

yeah I would love to have rotations in GR.

Yeah, there are probably less than 100 candidates in Michigan with those stats. That being said, oakland will still reject you.

has anyone heard how the 1-0n-1 interview tends to be at this school? I heard it was pretty laid back, but not sure what to expect
 
Couple questions:
1. Does anybody with us news report subscription or other reliable source know what the number of acceptances are (not matriculants)? And even better, the IS/OOS breakdown of that number?

2. The part where we are interviewed by a student, is that open file or closed file?

I think I read somewhere that they have around 70-80% IS students, but the actual acceptance number I'm not sure (maybe its similar?)

and I heard that its semi-blind. So they don't have MCAT or GPA but they do have your essays and such (not sure about LORs)

It's open. If they actually read it, IDK. But it is super informal. They just want to make sure they can see you as a classmate.

Apparently they are also very clear about the MMI at the interview so you know what to expect.

Yeah, there has been a lot of action in the DO schools. I do think that the big name private school threads are lit though. I did get a straight up rejection from oakland so i got that going for me.

Wait how do you know you got rejection from Oakland? (Oakland Beaumont???) and do you know why????
 
I submitted all my secondaries late (bc study abroad) so I'm kinda of scared that I won't get a single interview
 
II just now on 10/14. Submitted 8/29. Yay so excited

Is the hold status like a hard hold or just kind of a neutral ground until they decide what to do with you

What? for what though? Cut-offs? Don't they just not give secondaries at that point?

They're post secondary rejections. Everyone gets a secondary.
Stats arent too big a deal there. They're very big on "fit" and very community service oriented....

Okay thank God I haven't heard back a rejection yet. My background fits really well with what they want and the admissions kind of know me. (I don't go there for undergrad there though but Im sure you can figure that out from my username lol)

I stand corrected. Odd that they would have some interviews in Grand Rapids and some in East Lansing.
