What should be on a Michigan State freshman application checklist?

A solid Michigan State freshman application checklist should include the completed application, your high school transcript, and your official test scores if you choose to submit them. You should also make sure you’ve entered your courses and grades accurately, since MSU uses that academic history to review your preparation.

If you are applying through the Common App or MSU’s own application, confirm that your personal information, extracurriculars, and any honors are fully filled out.

You should also keep track of the application fee or fee waiver, and submit by the deadline that matches your intended entry term. After you apply, watch your applicant portal for any missing documents or follow-up requests, since that is where MSU typically shows what is still needed. If you are an out-of-state or international applicant, make sure you’ve handled any extra documentation that may apply to your situation.
