I'd try it. Your chances might be a little lower being Canadian, and having an MCAT below their average. But the thing is.. an average is an average.. which means that people with scores lower than the average do get admitted as well
I completely agree. I just went through the cycle last year and am matriculating at Cincinnati, but I am a Michigan resident and went to UMich. It's crazy to look at this thread and see how it's all going for you guys, and I just have to say it's prolly gonna be a long ride, but if you are still in school, the time will fly and it will be March before you know it.
My scores were above Wayne's average (33 MCAT) and I was waitlisted in December. I am still on the waitlist and it looks like I wont be getting in here. I was lucky enough to get in somewhere else, but I don't think veterans of this process can stress enough how you can't predict what the adcom's will do. When the waitlist started to move early this summer (May 15th), plenty of people (including Canadians) were getting accepted with sub-30 MCAT's, and I sat there with a 33. I am almost positive this is because I had a bad interview.
Honestly, I was not much of a fan of the Wayne interview process (one interviewer for 60 minutes, ALL generic questions, really not interesting) but it makes a big difference to them. Your scores (and essays...) will get you the interview, and if you get that, then your interview will most likely determine your acceptance/wait list/reject status (with still some slight consideration of your scores and transcripts of course).
If I can give you 2 big tips for the Wayne interview I would say:
1. STRESS why you want to go to Wayne and why you and Wayne are a good fit
2. Be ready to talk about your interest/experiences in the community (especially underrepresented minority groups)
For number 1, as people have said in this thread before, Wayne wants applicant that want to go to their school, not just a bunch of highly qualified 35+ MCATs, 3.8+ GPAs applicants. And for number 2, you will be living in and working with this type of community so they want you to be ready to/interested in spending time and working there.
Good luck everyone!
