<p>So, tell me if you think I can get in. My stats are clearly below average compared to the ones on the board, but I need to know the odds!</p>

2

<p>no, ur stats are pretty solid. good luck! i did not apply here tho; i did apply villanova--that was also a nov. 1 (so early!!!)</p>

3

<p>i applied to michigan state's program but heard of the 10 they accept 8 are from michigan and i am from florida.</p>

4

<p>Buckwald, what are your stats like?</p>

5

<p>1510 SAT, 4.3 GPA, top 10% of class, loads of ECs and hospital work.</p>

6

<p>buckwald, did you do any significant research?</p>

7

<p>nope, but i worked a lot in ER division of hospital.</p>

8

<p>Did you get an e-mail confirming receipt of application within 5 business days of submission as it said in the instructions?</p>

9

<p>no i did not</p>

10

<p>I did. They said that they had rec'd both my application fee and my my appication. </p>

<p>Qwerty-- Did you apply too?</p>

11

<p>dude i applied to the program at MSU university as well.
I havent gotten a reciept notice yet so im kind of worried. Im gonna call them today even thou they say they prefer email. Also they only accept 2 kids out fo state and im form California. Here is a brief over view of my stats. please tell me my chances because they only accept 2 out of stats kids:</p>

<p>1560 SAT
800 -Math2c
800 Physics
750 - Writing
Gpa -4.0 unW
Gpa - 4.933 W
8 AP's with 5's and 2 4's
alot of hospital work...</p>

12

<p>for some reason i feel they accept more than 2 out of state, but i think your chances are great! because the two they accept will propably get into a higher ranked program and choose that over Michigan State's program.</p>

13

<p>Hey buckwald, can you evaluate my chances as well?</p>

<p>Anyone, please feel free to as well. Thanks.</p>

14

<p>Pretty good, antique. I have 1460 SAT, but i want to take the ACT just to see how i place</p>

15

<p>antique, if you live in Michigan than you have a great chance of getting into MSU's program!</p>

16

<p>Thanks for the encouragement Buckwald, but if there are a lot more people with your kind of stats then I highly doubt that (even if you are out of state)!</p>

<p>Well, the main thing I would suggest to you seniors is to have faith, and don't just join a club just because it looks good on a resume. That never works, and they will see right through it. As long as you have 3-5 solid activities (sports, clubs, etc.) that you are in and dedicated to, I think you will do okay, assuming the scores and whatnot are good. </p>

<p>As to the quota issue, yes, it is true that they accept majority Michigan residents. But, if any of you are griping about this, think about the UIC program -- you can't even apply if you're out of state. ;) In any case, good luck to all of you who are applying. Do what you can and leave the rest to God.</p>
