MESSAGEBUZZ Connects Busy Medical Student Applicants with University of Michigan

Competition for admission to the country’s top medical schools is intense. It has traditionally been a part of the grueling process for hundreds of the nation’s best and brightest students to spend considerable anxiety and waiting time watching the mailbox for word on their future and acceptance into medical school in the past. But a nationally recognized medical school is changing that for applicants today. The University of Michigan Medical School is employing MESSAGEBUZZ mobile messaging to notify applicants of acceptance into the award-winning U-M Medical School program. Consistently ranked in the top of all medical schools in the country, U-M Medical School administrators put together a unique welcome video and text message program not only to congratulate and welcome new medical student applicants to the University of Michigan program; but also keep these busy students updated and involved in activities and updates in the medical school and on the campus.

“Many of our applicants have commented on how excited they are to receive our text messages, especially when they receive the acceptance video,” explained Sandra Davis with the University of Michigan Medical School’s Admission Program. “It sets University of Michigan apart from other medical schools," added Davis.

The University of Michigan Medical School is a recognized leader in curriculum innovation with a long string of firsts in medical education including the first medical school in the United States to own and operate its own hospital and among the first medical schools to admit women. The tradition is continuing as the U-M Medical School has developed a first of its kind mobile communication platform via MESSAGEBUZZ.
