Has anyone seen any movement with the waitlists lately?

I'm so confused, I just emailed them for an update and I didn't move up at all....not one spot. I asked them and they said that there hasn't been any movement on the waitlist at all, but @ilikecake you said you were called off at #11 so shouldn't I have at least moved up 11 spots? I don't understand.

When was the last time you asked for an update? My position moved up about 14 spots from when I asked on April 5th

I moved up 13 spots since the last update on 4/10. The only thing I could think of is if you got an updated position after a lot of movement was made in the last week or so.

I asked my status today as well and did not see any movement from when I asked on the 10th of April.

I'm sorry :/ Sometimes OOS lists move one spot for every 3ish people who decline. That doesn't account for the difference I guess but maybe it's something like that.. I hope you guys start hearing soon!

I just received an email from MSU. There has been movement. The OOS has moved 15 places since April 10th. There had been a reporting error. They apologized and fixed the error. Very nice people!

I received an alternate status update today. I started at 77 and I am now at 40. Next update on June 5th.
 
I got an update today as well. I started at 58 OOS, now 23. However, I also asked how many spots were left for OOS as IS is full, and they told me there is only one spot left. While they are expecting a few to withdraw before August from the OOS list, the class is basically full. They are calling people one at a time at this point.

Anyone have any thoughts on living about 40 minutes away? I'm considering it because it would save a little bit of money, but it also seems like it could be an annoying commute.

40 minutes in what direction? Alot of my classmates drive between 30-60 mins. With lectures being recorded you really only have to come for mostly half days to labs.
I used to live in northville and drove everyday but moved halfway through 1st semester. The drive West on 96 can suck if you drive during normal traffic times.

40 minutes East, so I would be taking 96 west. Was that a deciding factor in you moving?

Some people do it but I know that I would not want to. A 30 minute commute was my maximum when I was looking. That said, I also know that I'm going to want to attend the actual lectures for the most part, I'm not the biggest fan of driving in general, I have dogs I don't want to be too far from during the day, and I do not want to move again during vet school if at all possible so I didn't want to risk getting a place with a commute that I might grow to hate. After driving back to my parents' house a few times since moving (which is a little longer--50ish minutes) I know I made a good choice for me. Would not want to be driving more than a half hour one way, on a regular basis. Would have hated it within a week. Saving money just wouldn't have been worth it for me. But it might be for you. Just carefully consider the pros and cons.

I think my drive total was about an hour and fifteen minutes one way. That was a big factor. I've also got 2 little kids. With all the time spent driving I wasn't getting enough time to spend with my family.
I can't speak to rotations yet, but clubs (like equine club with a it's e-team and foal team, or radiology club) have you sign up for shifts that's you're available for.
 
Thanks for the advice everyone!

When you're on-call in the hospital, you need to be able to come in within a half hour.

There is a FB page, should be able to find it by searching for the full name and year on FB.
School admin is in control of the page and you'll get accepted when they receive your deposit.

Congrats!

I started at waitlist #39 OOS. When I emailed for my status early June 7, I was waitlist #7 and they said they had filled their seats.

I think today is the last list update before classes start. All seats are currently full. I'm at #10 on the list, started at #58. Keeping my fingers crossed that there will be enough movement by mid-August. :eek:
 
Question for current students at MSU from Florida. How was the adjustment to the cold? I've lived in Florida my entire life, never been in snow.

I've got a couple classmates from Florida, and I think they're handling in well. It's a bit dicey in the winter if you're not used to snow, but it just takes some time and practice. Layering is key if you want to stay warm outside in the winter as well.
I came back from CA to school here, and it wasn't really a hard transition

Thanks! It's currently around 50 degrees F here in SoFlo and its a bit on the chillier side for me. So I'm wondering how other people are taking the cold.

Funny story, when I drove up to TN to interview at LMU, I didnt bring any warm clothing, and it got down to around 10.

I froze, but survived.
