Hey all, just thought I would introduce myself quick. Before I do that though, congrats to everyone who has been accepted.
I am a first year at MSU and can really attest to what a great school it is. If anyone has any questions that I might be able to answer, then by all means let me know. I don't check this board too often, so please be patient if I don't get back to you right away, but school always comes first.
Again, congrats and I am sure that you will love MSU

Hello everyone! My name is Brett and I am a 24 y/o male from Colorado. I requested a deferral last year and will be joining you all in August. I look forward to meeting each of you!
For those of you who haven't been able to attend the dinner/drink gatherings, you are certainly missing out! Also, if you happen to be looking for a room/roommate, we have a discussion going on the Facebook group MSU CHM c/o 2012~BFF's
Congratulations to all who have been accepted so far, and best of luck to those still waiting. Looks like it will be a wonderful class to be a part of!

Woohoo! I'll be part of the MSUCHM c/o 2012. Just got the call from Dr. Shafer tonight. I completely was not expecting this considering I was put on hold in October, finally had a LOR request in Jan, and didn't interview until 2/26. I am sooo excited!

Hey everyone, I'm a first year student at CHM, going to Flint in my 3rd and 4th years.
CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who's been accepted!
Your hard work and passion will continue to reap you rewards. I can't wait to meet you!
A few words to those who are still waiting for an acceptance: I interviewed on February 22, was put on the alternate list May 2, and I was accepted June 14. (For some reason they emailed me before calling, so there I was, sitting at my laptop eating breakfast and the good news made me almost spit out my cereal at the screen!)
Until I was accepted, I clearly remember having doubts about whether I could do this, or if I even wanted to anymore. It's easy to lose hope, but if you're facing the possibility of having to reapply, you can take some steps to become an even better applicant than before. It looks impressive to the admissions committee when someone cares so much about becoming a physician that they put in the extra effort and tried again.
1. There's a Self Assessment Guide in the Premedical Handbook part of the admissions website. You can fill it out and mail it in with a cover letter requesting feedback on how to strengthen your application.
2. Apply a little earlier.
3. If you have a year off, make it worthwhile (travel, work on a Masters, earn some money, etc.). Keep yourself busy and enjoy life!
Feel free to PM/email/Facebook me with me any questions you have.

PS If anyone's interested in psychiatry or neurology, I really really want to hear from you because I'm in charge of the interest group

Congrats to all. If I may offer some advice for choosing a community campus in 3/4th yr, choose a campus with resources and good campus administration. I rotated in Flint before getting a residency in Kalamazoo. The resource available in Kalamazoo is amazing compare to Flint. Also office administrator Ms.Ass** is not the best qualified person to help you through med school. My classmates excelled despite lack of support in Flint. Take it for what its worth. All the best.
