For the initial review, a separate graduate school application is not needed. We may ask the applicant for permission to share their AMCAS file with the PhD program for an early review. If the candidate is chosen to move forward in the process, a separate application to the
MSU Graduate School may be required. Applicants do not need to complete a separate application to the Van Andel Institute Graduate School (VAIGS). You may request in advance that your AMCAS materials be forwarded to the appropriate graduate program. Please contact Cindy Grove Arvidson, PhD, by
email or at (517) 884-1854 with your request.
