When were you complete if you don't mind me asking? Show me some love wright state!
I recieved the similar email from WSU, "We have received your secondary payment/or fee waiver for application to Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine. Your application is now complete. AMCAS will inform you when your letters have been processed and released to your schools. When they do we will automatically have them as part of your electronic file. We will not check status for letters of recommendation because AMCAS will inform you of their status.
After you have paid your secondary payment/fee waiver to WSU BSOM you are complete and in review status. Your status will not change unless you are invited for an interview. Interview invitations are extended from September through February. No final decisions will be made until the end of the process in late March."
Is it similar to yours. Are you OOS or IS, I'm OOS by the way
I recieved this email!!!!!

I have been researching the hell out of the place since my invite came down. I think it looks great, and I am hoping for some in state love. I would totally take their offer.

How is the TBL? Also, how is financial aid at Boonshoft?
TBLs are good. The quizzes are good way to reinforce the material and keep you on track of the assignments. The application is variable though--some of the group application problems are pretty interesting and help you understand. Some of them just blow. It just depends. For some of the TBLs, there is some reading from articles to prep, so that can seem like extra work on top of your normal exam study.
A lot of my classmates have mixed feelings about TBL. Some see it as a waste of time, and I can see that. Some really like it. I'm in between. They're okay.
Financial aid is pretty normal--the financial aid adviser is pretty proactive about getting scholarship information out to students, and she's very good at explaining where your loans come from and what they're for, so that helps with budgeting. I'm not sure if there are a lot of free money given to students here... I only know of a few people getting some really good scholarships (other than military). Most people go through loans, which I'm assuming is pretty normal at most med schools. So far, I have no complaints about how much money I'm borrowing. Tuition is pretty good considering its a state school, and they offer in-state tuition after the first year for OOS students.

To piggy back off of the above post, TBLs aren't too bad thus far. I'm really glad they aren't grading the practical application portion of them this year! I don't know that TBLs are an accurate judgement of what you know for that day's material, but I guess some say it helps them know where they stand for studying for the exam.
I can't comment as much on the financial aid as I'm military.

Thanks everyone. Any recommendations on where to stay when in Dayton and things to do in Dayton after the interview?
There are quite a few hotels around campus with some right across the street. I can't remember where I stayed for my interview but it shouldn't be hard to find a hotel.
As for things to do you can always look at: http://www.wright.edu/admissions/studentlife/dayton.html
Generic I know, but there are a lot of restaurants and shopping right by campus. The Greene shopping center and the outlet mall are within 30 mins of campus and the Oregon District is always fun.

This list may also be updated soon as they are just now asking us (MS1s) if we want to be included on the list.
Also might want to DL the first year survival guide. There's a bunch of recommended restaurants at the end of the long pdf file.

I have never heard that before. If it helps, there are only a couple of students that I can think of who went to Wright State for undergrad in this year's class. There are also a few in the class who did the masters program here. But I don't think there are any 'reserved' seats in either case.
This thread is so quiet! I guess they've not sent out a wave of interview invites in awhile?
FYI, check your spam folder. I received an email from Debbie McNeely at Wright which went straight into my spam folder.
Does anyone know what percentage of interviewees are accepted to Wright?

One more current Wright Stater joining the mix. Quick bio: I'm a 2nd year, married, AF HPSP student and participate in the Welcome Committee who gets to chat all the interviewees up off the record on interview day. Any questions throw them down!
Hooray! Got the invite email today. The phone was busy for awhile but when I finally got through the woman on the other line wasn't sure why. I'm so excited!!
I was complete 08/08
3.4s/3.5c/32 in state

The envelope is the one you open and it says "we are pleased to offer you a seat..." 😛 but seriously it takes 2 seconds to just open the big envelope and find out.

I interviewed here recently. The staff and the Welcome Committee were great. The facilities are new and pretty awesome.

Congrats! What day did you interview and did they inform by email?

Oh, you got an email? I thought they usually only did snail mail. Was it from the admissions secretary or your interviewer?
They finally decided to do this. Of course it's the year AFTER I apply.
Any II Lately?
Accepted today as well!!
Has everyone that interviewed in September heard back from Wright State? Wondering outside of those accepted if rejections and those placed on the waitlist have heard anything about their status? I haven't heard and am wondering if that means I am rejected or if the wait list is being comprised.
