I have no idea about your official schedule.it doesn't say our lab times on our schedule yet right?
I personally 'prefer' AT&T in the sense that anyone is better than Comcast. I find that Comcast has poor customer service, disingenuous pricing schemes, and their internet speeds are never quite what you're paying for. Not sure about the bundle part of your question, though!Hey guys! Any opinions on AT&T or Comcast for internet?? I'll also be needing a cell phone plan, so do you guys think AT&T bundles are good?
I did the loan counseling thing and it's still saying I need to do it on StuInfo. Does this matter?
How do I withdraw my acceptance? I have decided to go elsewhere but can't find how to withdraw anywhere
I think you have to call them.How do I withdraw my acceptance? I have decided to go elsewhere but can't find how to withdraw anywhere
Hi everyone,
The deadline for Canadian applicants to become accepted is May 1st, which is approaching fast. I'm still on WL Tier 1. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to improve my chances? I have already sent a letter of intent, but don't know what else to do. My final grades come out only on May 9th, so I can't even upload my marks before the deadline
Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks!!
Hi,Fellow Canadian here as well. Just wondering where did you get this information?
Thanks
Is anyone able to view their financial aid for Fall and Spring 2017 right now?
Hmm, okay. Thanks. Mine just says "You have no loans for this aid year." I think I better call them
huh. Possible you can get around that by connecting to vpn.msu.edu as well.For those of you having issues with the direct deposit info, I was told you have to be connected to msu wifi to access it. They said it's some sort of security measure.

I have no idea what that is! I didn't get an email.To accepted students, did you get that "schedule message" email? If so, how do you log into blackboard?
I didn't message them or anything but my loan was approved today so I'm not going to think about it anymore. I'm not sure how soon my MPN showed up but I don't remember there being a large delay.I was worried about this too but with the MPN instead, i emailed the financial aid office and they said it may take a few days to a week!

*hold my beer*Yall really excited to take on this crazy student loans debt , i wish i was that enthusiastic about 44K debt per year
Hey guys! Might be able to switch into the EL campus instead of macomb, can any one tell me the pros and cons of each campus? Already been in the EL campus for 4 years of undergrad so might want a change of place for the next few years of medical school...
Thanks
Thank you this really helped! I am actually going to stay in the Macomb campus! Hope to meet you there in JuneI actually just switched from EL to Macomb this morning. It was a really tough decision but in the end it's a personal choice. I lived in a large college campus for undergrad and although I enjoyed my four years in a large environment, I felt that I would be more comfortable and maybe less stressed in a smaller environment. Here are the pros and cons I listed when I was making this decision:
EL Pros:
More research opportunities available
Potentially interact with more people outside of the medical school sphere
campus vibes
Cons:
Living + Parking is more expensive.
Less opportunities to interact with professors
Less "family" atmosphere since its 200+ students
Macomb Pros:
Living cheaper (I intend to live with my parents, but regardless apts in Macomb are generally cheaper)
only 50 students so "family" atmosphere
maybe more opportunities to interact with instructors?
newer and cute- everything is clustered in 2 little halls
free parking
Cons:
Not as much research available from what I've heard
college atmosphere almost nonexistent
Hall Road kind of sucks if you cant get around it
This was just my general thoughts from what I've seen/ heard from current students. Hope this helps!
There is research here, idk where this misconception of Lack of research comes from. All you have to do is go out to the hospitals which theres is about 3 by us and show interest .

I have no idea what that is! I didn't get an email.
I am in a similar situation, and I haven't a clue what I'm supposed to do. I do know that tuition is refundable up to 25% of the way through the summer semester. I think I will call to clarify what to do.Got an email saying that the registration bill is due May 2nd for the summer semester. If I get off the waitlist at another school, I might give up my spot at MSUCOM. Do I still pay the bill by May 2nd? Is anyone in a similar situation?

No I can't because I have finals that week, but looking forward to meeting you all in June!Aside from living with my parents because I am OOS, these were my very reasons for choosing Macomb
Great to have you! Are either of you guys attending the MUC tour on May 5th???

Where do we purchase the anatomy course pack?
Cool your burners there top gun. Michigan State will give you the course pack, you do not get it until orientation. And I'm going to say this now so I don't have to repeat it. I suggest everybody relaxers before school starts do not study ahead it is not worth it. You will not get a leg up or anything you just wasted free time. You do not know what is high yield yet and with the professors test on

Thanks!! Haha I am not a gunner I promise! I am traveling in a few days and I just don't want to stress about what is left for me to do/ buy lol. I definitely will not be studying beforehand, trust me on that.
We received a cool warning message that if we don't learn some anatomy beforehand we'll die because medical school is impossibly hard. Where do they get those cadavers from anyways, right?Cool your burners there top gun. Michigan State will give you the course pack, you do not get it until orientation.

I'm going to call in like an hour, I'll report back!Did anyone find a resolution to the direct deposit for financial aid?
when did you guys get that email? I didn't get any email lolThat email, is a bunch of scare tactics. They just want you to mentally prepare. Let me put it this way how do you know what to really focus on when you've never been in the class? our professor rent so it's not always high-yield material it's a lot of low yield material. I was very nervous as a first-year coming in and I asked my big sib The same thing. He said you could but it's a waste of time because everything that you learned it's not what they want. If they are still doing the Mac quiz, all the questions come off the objectives and the objectives are very easy you could do under two days. Studying the whole course back is a little bit excessive. Just like everything in life take it with a grain of salt

I'd check on Facebook, there's a few MSU housing and buy/sell groups that are filled with posts looking for subleasers. I'm not sure about price for subleasing a single, but tons of people end up discounting their rent by a LOT just to find a subleaser for the summer. If you're open to living with others (who may or may not even be there during the summer months), you can find places for extremely cheap.Man, apartments can be expensive lol. Managed to sign a lease in EL for an okay price!
Where can I look for subleases for June and July? What's a good price for a sublease for a single?

learn how to time manage, wake up early, meal prep. At this stage there is nothing you can really do to prepare yourself. Just RELAXWhat do you recommend doing beforehand? I know you mentioned learning to use Anki, but anything else?
