Jacob got accepted to Michigan State University

MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine on track to admit first students by June

Jacob got an e-mail saying he was accepted to Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine

the day after he sent a non-refundable $1500 deposit to hold his place at LECOM in Florida.

Jacob hasn't interviewed in Michigan state and was accepted on the basis of his

secondary application.  The secondary application was worse than you can imagine and

I am guessing a limited number of applicants completed it.

The application wanted you to go back to 9th grade/14 years old and include

everything you have done categorized in Awards and Recognition,

Community Service, Work, etc.

I found the forms for the secondary application. 1.Paid work experiences.

They had a form Position/Organization, Beginning Date, ending Date, Combined Total Hours, Duties Responsibilities, separated into High School Years, and college years to present.

2.  Volunteer Experience- Same form, 3. Extracurricular Activities, same form.

4.  Academic Activities/awards was maybe supposed to be in paragraph form. . ..

At any rate, first you had to find the information and then type it into the format they wanted.

They said they would not accept it if it was not in the specified format.

Who knows, maybe Jacob's application was the only one close to what they wanted.
