Hopefully we’ll hear something in the next week since it’s getting closer to the end of October

 

[Jwood015]

I can’t be the only one aggressively checking my email the past few days

You aren’t! My brain keeps being like “…. It’s the end of October” 🤣

 

[Megjd]

Maybe they’ll send out invites in the next ten minutes? One could only hope lol

 

[morgan2000]

This is my brain

 

[deleted1145148]

They are definitely waiting until Halloween just to scare us 👻

You think we’ll be hearing about interviews so early? When they said they’d reach out at the end of October I thought it might just be to let us know if our academic requirements were met.

 

[Megjd]

Yeah, last year they let us know November 8th because things were delayed. If you didn’t pass the academic requirements they usually would have told you by now.

 

[dzmn]

Huh. My timeline was different last year. I was notified 11/17 that my academic requirements were met. Then I was rejected 12/17. So the ones invited to the Virtual Reception heard back earlier? That’s exciting, I wasn’t expecting to hear news from this school until December.

 

[honeypot999]

I remember sitting in class in early November or late October and getting the MSU rejection email last year.

Are you instate or out of state? I’m in state so that’s when we heard last year.

I’m out of state

 

[BeanDVM]

Happy Halloween and Happy last day of October everyone 🤣

 

[lindseyf23]

Anyone think we are going to be hearing today? Checking my email every 10 minutes

 

[Inexorabilis]

Still nothing over here Do y'all think they may send out communications later tonight? I was really hoping that 5PM would be it and I know quite a number of you are waiting anxiously as well. The wait is killing me!

 

[honeypot999]

Happy Halloween and Happy last day of October everyone 🤣

This about to be the spookiest and most terrifying email of the whole year

 

[potentialsheltervet]

My guess is they aren't sending them today and we're not going to hear by the end of October.
Maybe this Wednesday or Friday...? I know the email says "near the end of October" but I wish they'd send additional updates if/when their timeline changes.

From the Michigan State Website

That's quite the range of potential dates.

 

[BeanDVM]

That's quite the range of potential dates.

That’s my thinking — I mean nothing we can do, but god the stress of checking my email every day 😂

 

[honeypot999]

That's quite the range of potential dates.

But those dates are just for the interviews. They have to let people know sooner than that. Michigan state sends out everything at once basically

It says "applicants will be notified November through January".
Out to the side, it says interviews December through February. So I'm wondering if they're staggering things this year based on rank, IS/OOS status, or something super cryptic?
I don't want to receive any emails unless they're vet school related through Nocebuary.

This. The notification dates typically have varied based on IS v OOS. In the past IS has heard sooner for certain things like virtual reception invites, CASPer testing, etc. Not sure but I’d think it takes longer for OOS solely off the fact there over 1000 more applications to sift through. Either way, the process seems SO long on our end and it’s easy to read into every email and piece of info given. Don’t read into it too hard though and try to be patient, or it’ll drive you crazy

Sincerely, fellow applicant who is trying so hard, and failing slightly to stay patient and limit email checks

 

[User1_11]

First time IS applicant. This year MSU required 100% of prereqs to be completed before even applying, as opposed to 50% in previous years. I squeaked by with finishing my last two prereqs this summer, and was wondering if anybody else was feeling hopeful that the application pool would be thinned out at all by the new rule

That’s my hope as well

Is Michigan State doing Casper testing this year? I didn't see anything on the website about it

I could be wrong, but I think they had you do it in previous years to replace the interview. But sounds like interviews are back so I’d assume (hope lol) not.

They’re not!

Nooo, thank goodness!! I despised the CASPer They put it in place of interviews during Covid, but luckily interviews are back on this year so no CASPer

 

[honeypot999]

My next guess is The 8th because it’s a full moon and it’s an eclipse sooooo

Also Election Day, so we can really maximize the chaos

[deleted1145148]

Never before has my junk mailbox gotten this much attention

 

[potentialsheltervet]

So... not today, it seems.
Every day of November is torture.

 

[BorderCollies&Lattes]

same here, so much for the end of October right? haha, we should be hearing back this week though i think! fingers crossed

 

[sszoo]

Last year I didn’t hear back until December 17th, so it could still be a little while. The wait is killing me
