well it depends on if your are OOS or IS, but I think the acceptance after you get an interview is around 61%

thanks! and im instate, where did you get that number from?
66% acceptance rate for IS post-interview
33% acceptance rate for OOS post-interview
33% acceptance rate for OOS post-interview
Does that include those pulled off the waitlist, or just initial acceptance offers?
I'm more than likely going to take my UofM acceptance, but if Wayne offers me a nice financial aid package and/or scholarship, then I'd have to re-consider it.
I just wanted to tell everyone who was waitlisted: Don't despair. Wayne's WL moves really fast. Last year I interviewed in November and was waitlisted for two cycles then accepted in January.
Also, if I remember correctly the stats from the old version of US news said something like 75% of IS applicants who were interviewed were eventually offered a seat. GL everyone
and congrats to those accepted!

and congrats to those accepted!Haha thanks! That's true 😛 maybe this will work to my advantage if they interviewed all the most competitive applicants first
the only thing is my interviewer said she was good at presenting files right away haha. we shall see in a month! Advertisement - Members don't see this ad
They sent me an email a few days before my interview asking me to confirm the date and whether I will be attending the tour or not.
Congrats! 🙂 When were you complete and when did you receive the invite if you don't mind me asking?
I was rejected pre-secondary a couple weeks ago
IS 36Q, 3.4
lots of ECs, clinical experience, pharmaceutical research
I don't get it...?

Wayne State has been really receptive to any emails I've sent them -- quick responses and friendly replies. So I would imagine that you would get at least an answer with in the area emails.
My guess, not having access to your application of course, is your GPA. It isn't that low, but Wayne focuses a lot on the numbers, and I think they prefer balanced MCAT and GPA both around or above the average to one well above average and one below. Good luck with your other schools!
Wayne's average admitted gpa is a 3.75. Their average admitted MCAT is a tad under 31. For whatever reason, they don't seem to value the MCAT as much.
Thanks! I was complete 8/15, received the II 10/20.
The actual numbers from last year are GPA of 3.64 and average MCAT of 10.1 per section, so 30.3 overall.
per http://www.med.wayne.edu/admissions/applying/statistics.asp
Granted that is entering class numbers, so accepted averages may be slightly higher.
I'm going off the MSAR for 2011, so yeah, accepted numbers are in the 3.75 31 range.

Does anybody know some good apartments that are close to campus (within walking distance) and safe? Also, where do most of the students (M1 & M2) live if not in campus housing? I really love this school, but am worried about the living arrangements...
Thanks!
Thanks!
Yeah I'd like to know this as well. Loved this school but it's mad expensive for OOS. My guess is that we will get some sort of financial aid package after submitting FAFSA.
I am in the same boat as you and wondering about sending a LOI as well. I received the complete email on Sep 23 but no word since.
I've been complete since 9/6.
From email:
"This process may take several months as we receive many more applications than we can interview."

I believe I submitted my secondary a few days later then you and have already received a complete letter. I'm not really an expert on what to do but I guess a phone call couldnt hurt. Also, I'm sure it's no big deal and that they're just swamped at the moment

There are tons of students living in lofts which are around the Canfield/Woodward intersection. I've seen several, and they're all very nice. A bit pricey, but very aesthetically appealing.
It doesn't matter AFAIK. My interviewer told me they meet each week to discuss applicants interviewed since the last meeting, and decide then. So based on this, it is equally likely that you will be accepted right before the release date or right after the previous release date. If they go into each meeting knowing what proportion of the applicants they are discussing that day they should accept to fill the available slots, and know how many applicants they will be discussing at the other meetings prior to that decision date, they can set it up so there is no advantage to interviewing early vs. late.
If what my interviewer told me is not entirely accurate, I am open to correction by someone with better information.
Are you talking about choosing a date before or after the next round of acceptances are given? I would choose the date before, assuming you are a good interviewer, because your interviewer, when he presents you to the committee, will have a fresher impression of you.

Yes that's what I am talking about. And that's exactly my concern. But based on theseeker4, it doesn't seem to be a problem?

This doesn't matter because they meet every Monday, so the monthly acceptance dates don't matter. Your file will be presented within a week. This is what my interviewer told me at least. Good luck!
They give you a sheet with all the dates on your interview day. I have it somewhere at home so I can check for you when I get back. I know it's the 23rd for this month though

According to the sheet I got from the interview:
Nov 23
Dec 21
Jan 25
Feb 22
March 21
May 5
So much waiting.......
A few Canadians heard back already. Two of us were sent interview invites some time in late September after being complete in September (the exact info is a few pages back in this thread).
And yes deadman, EDP and 1 non EDP batch so far.
For what it's worth, I interviewed last year in September and was on the waitlist till May. So... I guess what I'm saying is be patient. 🙂
Thanks for the encouragement. It helps to hear from those who beat the waitlist.
Hi. Just want to confirm one thing. I am going to send the $50 deposit and accept my Wayne State offer. Will this remove me from consideration from other schools? In other words, by accepting Wayne - can I still receive interviews from other schools OR will they find this out and remove me from their applicant pool? Thanks!
You can hold multiple acceptances until May 15th.
Interview Statistics if you're interested:
From last year,
# of interviews
OOS: 261
IS: 591
# acceptances
OOS: 160
IS: 355
% accepted from interview
OOS: 61.3%
IS: 60.0%
Used data from MSAR and Wayne website (though MSAR reported smaller number of OOS matriculants idk why)
So basically, if you got to the interview stage, you have a 60.0% of being accepted if you are IS and a 61.3% chance of being accepted if OOS...the latter is probably because of the double screenings OOS people go through to get an interview lol...already being judged
Hope this helps people who had or will have their interview! Correct me if you think I made a mistake.
