IN!!! What a relief--it's my first MD acceptance. I was waitlisted for three rounds of decisions before this, OOS, no updates.
 
Got mine about 10:09....Alternate list, too. I'm considering just withdrawing...
 
Accepted! :highfive:

According to the email only ~1/7 of the offers have been made. Anybody know why this is??
 
I interpreted that line as saying that this round of offers was to fill 1/7 of the class.

I'm not sure though.

Congrats on your acceptance!! How was the email worded? That seems really low. If it is true that their class is only 1/7 full, maybe they're experiencing a lot of withdraws this year or something and can't review applications fast enough to keep the class as full as they'd like at this point in the season.
 
I think GoIrish is correct--they accept 1/7 each round. This is the 5th round, so the class should be approximately 5/7 full.
 
that is correct. there are 7 rounds of offer - beginning in October and ending in April (1 date each month).

So on each of these dates they fill 1/7 of their class. Since this was the Feb. offer date, as of today they have filled 5/7 of their class. There are two more rounds of offer left - march and april.

each offer date they take a few people off of the alternate list...which is why some people who received a spot on the alternate list in november or decemeber were accepted today.

one thing i don't know is if wayne state sends out post-interivew rejections. i haven't seen anyone post that on the thread...to me it seems like post-interview people are either accepted or placed on the alternate list.

speaking of the alternate list...i remember at my interview them saying that it was ranked (each person is given a score on a 5.0 scale i think)--but I don't know if Wayne State adcom will tell students what their "score" is. (anyone know if they do?)

They may tell you your place when the interview cycle ends. right now I doubt they would do anything.
 
no chnage, I think for canadian we have to waite until june july
 
Thanks- a quick re-read with that in mind makes much more sense!
 
Canadian accepted. Most likely will be turning it down but there were no time frames on the e-mail as to when to fully accept/turn down an acceptance?

Had a pretty weird interview too, no why wayne state, no why doctor, just asking to clarify my extracurrics.

Alternate listers, know that there'll be one extra spot (most likely!)

The waitlist still has people on it from the first and second decision dates . . . which includes me . . .
 
Congrats to the people who got accepted!!!

I got alternate/waitlisted myself. Hope lives!

and me. but I am long past caring...like GoIrish (it pains me to even type that phrase😉) I have considered withdrawing, but decided to just hang out and see what happens. who knows, maybe they are leaving us hanging until the end only to throw full scholarships at us? ok, probably not. but even though an acceptance here most likely would not change my mind about where to go to school, one never knows and it's never a bad idea to keep options open

good luck, everyone and congratulations to those who have gotten in!

Because there are 7 rounds for offers to be made. Did you just make an account so you could tell everyone you got accepted? Mr. 2 post :laugh:

Anyways no change. If you don't want to go to Wayne get off of the list so the rest of us can have a better shot!

Good luck everyone, see ya next month.
 
Oh can those who got accepted post some stats?

I can't imagine interviewing in the 1st round and waiting this long! I hope you have another acceptance already. I don't even care anymore as well, I'm not someone who is always waiting for crap. I feel like the less I care the fast the time will pass hahaha.

Don't worry guys, we still have 5/15!!!!!!

Stats are going to be all over the place. I know people on the waitlist with 32+ MCAT scores and those with sub-30 who were accepted on their first decision date.
 
I was apart of the first round of interviews as well and am currently still on the alternate list. I thought my interview went pretty well too. Whateves. I am pretty much banking on this school to come through for me. If not, there is always next year.

You are absolutely right! I know a couple people with 29 MCAT that got in right away.

I guess I was just curious 😳
 
Sorry, but I am too lazy to scroll through all of the pages. Has anyone actually been rejected after an interview at Wayne?
 
so I too have been on the alternate list for the past few decision dates and was wondering...for those of you that were recently accepted off of the alternate list, did you send an update letter or a letter of interest to wayne state after being put on the alternate list??? i sent and update letter (just saying the activities im involved with and my grades from my summer course that i didn't receive until mid november) a few weeks after my interview - but i haven't sent any updates since then.
 
Congrats to all those accepted, maybe we'll be classmates soon! For those still waiting, hang in there!!

My question is for anyone that knows either first or second hand, how hard/realistic would it be to become an MI resident during any point in the 4 years? I am stoked about getting in but the money issue is still a little troubling for OOS!

It's just about impossible. I think the only exemptions are if you establish residency in MI (have a job and address here) by living here for a year PRIOR to matriculation...or if you are married to someone who is a MI resident and possibly if your parents move here (not sure on that one though). But if you come here as an OOS student and start medical school right away with no qualifying factors, then it just isn't going to happen.

this pretty much sums it up. I looked into the issue a couple of years ago (before applying) - at the time, I owned a house in MI. however, since I did not live there (the state or the house), I would not have qualified for resident tuition at any MI school. so, the state makes it just about impossible for a non-resident to qualify for in-state tuition, and the process of establishing residency for this purpose cannot be done after the school app process begins. this perhaps explains why Wayne State has so few out of state students... Univ. of Michigan has quite a few, but I believe they offer better $ aid

Thanks for the reality check 😳

I don't think it has happened to anyone on SDN, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen at all. According to this flowchart on their website, it definitely looks like a possibility.

Thanks for looking, I should have been more clear though. I am aware they say it is a possibility, I just have never heard of it happening to someone. I think it is important for people in this thread to realize how many people are on the alternate list.
 
Interview tomorrow. Should I be expecting to meet any of you tomorrow?
 
So you're saying if I find someone in Michigan to marry, I can save 120 THOUSAND dollars?!

I actually called the admissions office today and asked that. Apparently, they do reject people post-interview, but I didn't get any other details (like percentages) out of her than that
 
Hey guys. For those that have been accepted, did any of you do undergrad at Wayne? I have a question about email accounts... just wondering if we have to switch to an @med.wayne account from @wayne and if so is that something that happens automatically or something we have to do ourselves?
 
Congratulations to everyone accepted last round!!! Now we wait anxiously for March 24th :xf::xf::xf:
 
I have an interview on March 15th 🙂 Anyone else interviewing that day?
 
just had my interview today. Wayne is a great place. The students are chill, the faculty is easy going and the location is totally underrated. I feel great about the interview, but I actually knew my interviewer, so I got REALLY lucky

Sounds like somebody is just a little bitter.
 
soooooooooo can someone re-cap the chances of eventually being accepted off the alternate list? 🙁 🙁

Read the thread. It has been stated many times that in 2008, 78% of the people who interviewed eventually got accepted. No one knows your chances of eventually being accepted off the alternate list (or mine...) this year. Stop trying to get false sense of hope from people on this thread when all you can do is wait. No one is on the adcom from here and even if they were, I am sure they would not tell you your chances. Why do you think Wayne State doesn't tell you your rank on the waitlist. The process sucks, we all know that. Just wait.
