II this past Wednesday. IS and complete mid-August
Thanks. They scheduled mine for March 18, but I don't know anything about how many days are left for interviews. March 18 sounds pretty close to the end.
Rock it boy,,, ROCK IT !👍
hey guys,
i received the acceptance letter on jan 30th; however i have yet to receive anything in my mail. i live in toronto, canada. its been two weeks. is this normal?
MSU is really into primary care. Of course you can go into whatever specialty you desire at any medical school but that is more where they shine. Wayne on the other hand exposes you to a diverse population and is noted for early clinical exposure and excellent clinical training. I feel that Wayne is a better option if you do not see yourself wanting to go into primary care. Both are good schools.I interviewed at MSU and loved it! I keep postponing my Wayne State interview because I'm not sure if I want to buy another plane ticket, and I'm kind of sick of interviews. Did anyone else interview at both MSU and Wayne State? Other than the fact there are more hospitals around Detroit, how is Wayne State a better option?
are there structured research opportunities during school year or in summer at Wayne?
i had an interview invite as well! 🙂
Can I ask what your stats are?I'm in the same boat, interviewed in October, waitlisten in November, been there since. I believe there is some hope in the next two release dates. There is also a decent amount of wait list movement from april and from what I have heard, up till orientation. I have thankfully been accepted to another school, but being a Wayne undergrad, it is my top choice.
Last year they sent out 365 in-state acceptances to fill 226 seats. If you are also in-state, this is good news since they will obviously need to take a decent amount of students off of the wait list to fill these slots. With two more release dates, that makes roughly 80-90 more acceptance, plus wait list movement after that.
There is definitely still hope.
does anyone know if WSU offers a second look weekend or the like?
Can I ask what your stats are?
Yes, they do. I have a friend who is an M1 there now who said the second look day is what swayed him to go to Wayne over MSU.
Anyone know the date of second look day?
roughly 3 more days till the next batch goes out!....looking at some old threads it seems as if there was quite a bit of in-state alternative list love during the feb release date,
fingers crossed this year it will be the same!
also, just a quick comment about Wayne... a lot of people claim that there is a clear bias Wayne carries towards their own undergraduate students, aka if you went to Wayne you have a high chance of getting in even with mediocre stats. Has anyone else heard of this? Looking at this year's thread I feel as if that is definitely not the case. As a Wayne undergrad myself, I can't help but get a little irritated at all of those comments...with a 31O and a 3.7 I am still waiting.
I know I may sound a little bitter but its true! With 4 waitlists and 0 acceptances this point in the cycle, I am definitely getting anxious and am already starting to figure out plans for a possible gap year.
+1. I am a wsu undergrad and I am not seeing that bias at all. Looking at pervious years the majority of their class was UofM students. Wish they'd show they're own university students some love. I mean if we've gone to Detroit for undergrad and are looking to stay in Detroit for grad, doesn't it seem obvious we'd be working there as well. Which is what I thought they were looking for. Best of luck on this upcoming decision!

I didn't have any information about it in my acceptance packet and can't find any info online.
According to our class statistics located here: http://admissions.med.wayne.edu/class-profiles.php the story appears to be this --> while the majority of the class (roughly 29 percent) comes from University of Michigan, so many people apply from Michigan that their acceptance rate is relatively low compared to Wayne State. Acceptance rate from Wayne State undergrad students is around 26%, at least in our class. Although I don't know a lot of the details, I know that some of the class comes from the Wayne State MedStart program that guarantees admission to the med school straight from undergrad provided they fulfill certain standards (explained here: http://honors.wayne.edu/medstart.php). This can be as many as 15 students per class which kind of skews the stats. I'm not actually entirely positive that these students factor in to the admissions stats (not sure why they wouldn't but I'm not the best numbers person in the whole world), but I figured these students were worth a mention. A current Wayne State undergrad might be able to expound further as I'm not clear on the details.
So, slight bias, but definitely still competitive to get into the med school as a Wayne State undergrad. Good luck to anyone still waiting to hear. I'm going to sound like a broken record but keep hope alive until the very end!!
I received a mailing from Wayne but it only contained login info for pipeline (banner id, etc). Did something else go out last week as well?Also wondering when it will be - maybe there will be some info in the student # packets that went out last week?

really hoping that a possible snow day tomorrow doesnt throw off the release date! I could not wait another month that's for sure.
Do you guys think if there is still a chance to get an interview?
still on alternative list :/
anyone hear any good news today?
Technically, you are citing matriculation statistics, which are very different than acceptance statistics. If I had to guess, I would say that U of M undergrads have a higher acceptance rate than Wayne undergrads, but also decline acceptance at a higher rate.
Also wondering when it will be - maybe there will be some info in the student # packets that went out last week?
Thanks for this info!Just asked the school and they said this year it would be Thursday, May 2nd from noon to 7pm.
Looks like I won't be able to make it but hopefully I can set something else up to go get another look at the school!
Has anyone received financial aid info yet?
