If I remember correctly, tomorrow is a release date?
yes, it is
If I remember correctly, tomorrow is a release date?
Did any other alternative listed applicants get the following email?
There has been no change to your status on this decision date. The next decision date will be on February 27th and we will notify you if there is any change in your status.
They need to stop teasing me fo realz
The decision date is today, but my question is the same: is there an email or call notification?
Email. Though I suspect you probably figured that out for yourself already. It says on the paper that they have until 2 pm on decision days to let you know.
The lack of any kind of clue in the body of the email sure makes the opening of the attachment nerve wracking!
I have been on the alternate list since November, and Wayne is my top choice!! How responsive are they to updates letters? Or even letters of Intent? Do you all think sending in a letter that expresses my genuine interest in the school would help my situation? Getting anxious since there are only 2 release dates left

what is the lowest gpa/mcat score anyone has heard of wayne state, who was accepted in this cycle?
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.
thanks for the info thats definitely comforting...good luck to both of us! Hopefully we will both be at Wayne in August 🙂
Not sure if this is the wrong place to post, but for those of you who are really pulling for Wayne State, what are its biggest selling points to you? (Med students at Wayne, would love your input too!).
1 - Is there a facebook page for Accepted Students
2 - If there are any current WSU SOM students willing - would you mind listing a few of your
favorite things about Wayne?

How do you like living/studying in the detroit area? I'm not sure if I would rather live closer to the school (safety concerns...walking late at night, etc, but convenience of near the school) or in suburbia (long commutes, traffic, winter driving! :O but of course safer)Hi, current student here.
My perspective is naturally just one of many, and there are a lot of students here who have varied experiences.
I really like Wayne the most for the following reason: I've locked into a niche of students who are active and compassionate, and the culture in these corners is really amped to serve the community of Detroit. The school is set up to facilitate people who want to do things, so you'll find many people who want to volunteer and help. The optional co-curricular program provides a framework for community service that allows you to be organized about it, and also provides a critical mass of volunteers for leaders of organizations to pull from when they need people for projects.
If that kind of stuff isn't your thing, that's cool too! There are so many students here that you'll pretty much find what you're looking for. Lots of people have research experience (I didn't), lots of people just lock it down and study, lots of people in intramurals. I was a little bit hesitant about the size of the school before I came to Wayne, but I'm discovering that it's actually one of its strengths.
School-wise, there are things to like and things to not like. The story that I got before coming to school was that Wayne does an okay job with pre-clinical courses. There's not really a lot of curriculum innovation going on here, so first year is kind of a mixed bag experience. That's true, I'm finding, but also fine with me. Problem-based learning is a club you can join, but you won't find PBL woven into our coursework (yet). I don't know any different and I wasn't a science student before coming to school so a lot of stuff is new and I didn't have any expectations. Some exams have reputations for being really hard (they are, in my opinion), some exams have reputations for being easy (can verify this as well). Some lecturers are better than others. Some really brilliant, passionate instructors some just meehhh. I'm a first year so I can't really speak personally about what happens in subsequent years, but the story is that 2nd year is a lot more fun, although more intense. I mean, there's a bit of drudgery going on this year, but I kind of expected a certain amount of it. I do have to study a lot but it's nice that there aren't that many required things at school once anatomy is over in late November.
It's third and fourth year where Wayne really starts to shine. The fourth years I've talked to can't say enough about how prepared they feel going into residency. You get a LOT of hands on clinical experience that doesn't happen at other schools. You will hear this said over and over again. I've heard it so much from so many different people that I tend to believe it's true, and we're basically all just letting that light at the end of the tunnel guide us. Wayne's match list is always pretty good, also, and people tend to get the jobs they want in areas they want after graduating, so that's pretty sweet too.

Sorry guys, I am canadian and not sure about this process. What is this II that you guys are talking about?
If you submit the primary application, do you automatically get the secondary or do some people get rejected.
Are there any hotels in Detroit that have a shuttle service to and from the school and airport?
II today 🙂 Complete in November. Also OOS
Just got an II today. OOS here.. Don't lose hope guys

I just submitted my secondary application a week ago. My money order hasn't gotten there yet so I still technically have an incomplete application (should get there in the next two days). I was wondering If I still had a chance of being interviewed? I hope being late hasn't caused me to lose a chance, even though I still technically applied before the deadline.
Thanks!
Interviews go through the spring. I know who it was in our class who was the last interviewed person, but I can't remember exactly when he was interviewed. I know it was March or something tho, pretty late. Another thing to remind everyone about with Wayne is that the school is technically "semi-rolling," which means that it doesn't hurt you to be an applicant later in the cycle like at other schools. Multiple acceptance release cycles lets this happen.
