2015-2016 Wright State University Application Thread
Started by Ismet
Another application season is among us!
Applying here IS 🙂 . Many of the docs I scribe for went here and had wonderful things to say.
63% IS // 37% OOS
I havent gotten anything yet from them
I'm pretty sure Wright State doesn't send out a secondary.
From their website:
"Unlike many medical schools, Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine does not have a secondary application. The school does require all applicants to pay an application fee. After we receive your application from AMCAS, we will notify you by email with instructions on how to pay the application fee online. The Wright State application fee is due by Dec. 15."
So I guess we just hang tight!

I just received notice of their 'secondary' today. Unless you received am AMCAS FAP waiver, there is no secondary.
If you did receive an AMCAS FAP waiver, then you have to answer a bunch of yes/no questions - but that's it. It's really simple.

The Wright State "secondary" is a survey.

Thanks for the clarification!
Does engineering count as a science major? 
I guess it does. I have a science and non-science so I didn't know what to put either. Seems like they don't take too many OOS, which is unfortunate.Does engineering count as a science major?
They're asking if you'll be getting your undergrad degree from a public college so if you're currently pursuing or received an undergrad degree at a public school, then yes.
Does Wright State prescreen?

Crickets so far on my end.
I thought this school took >30% OOS?
My bad, yea they have 28%, for some reason I thought they did not have much, maybe confused with some other school.
Some other Ohio schools are like that, but this is actually one of the most friendly OOS schools around!
Sorry about the duplicate email. What happened simply is our IT department processed some early in the morning and then again before midnight. I send complete emails once a day...in the morning to those complete for that date. The ones processed complete later in the day on the same day did not get a complete email. To shortcut things for myself since there were over 500 secondaries complete that day I sent one to all on that day, which means the ones that were processed in the morning and already received the email got a second one. Sorry for the confusion! They have never done a batch in the morning and then again in the evening.
There is not a status portal to check on your application. Once you are complete your status will not change unless you are invited for an interview or at the end of process when rejections are done.
We do accept about 30% from out of state. We receive over 4000 applications, interview around 450 and have a class size of up to 115.

My birthday was yesterday... I was really hoping to receive a free acceptance coupon in my email. I am hoping someone forgot to hit the send button 😉
On a serious note... Thanks for the information!
Great, thank you for the update! 🙂
I submitted July 15th and was complete the 20th. So 5 days for me. I'm sure yours will be updated shortly.
Two Questions:
1. Would you consider engineering as a science or non-science degree for the secondary app? I know AMCAS says non-science..
2. Would obtaining a degree from a public university be considered a "public college"
Thank you all!

Does AMCAS list what they consider science? I would go according to which school the major falls under (i.e. if there's a distinction btw. the engineering school and science, which is the case with most schools, then it would not be science).
2. Yes, public college = state funded, public school.
I put my engineering degree as science. I figure they can look and decide for themselves, but I consider it pretty science-y.
I submitted mine on the 22nd and I still haven't gotten a complete notification.

I agree it's pretty science-y. My thoughts were more along what technical criteria the adcoms might have. Your suggestion to go that route and let them decide is probably the best bet.
Or email and ask if you don't mind waiting a day to hear back
I did biomedical engineering. It's 50% bio and 50% electrical. Science.

I also did biomedical engineering! I went with a science designation as well
+1, 65 here also. LizzyM TWINS
It's nice to see that I'm in good company! Best of luck to you this cycle, I hope to see you there next fall!
Same to you! 🙂
I just started my second week. I'm loving it, and my classmates are awesome. On the first day of class, one of the deans pulled out the Elder Wand, and another one dressed up like the Easter Bunny. You can't make this stuff up. I'll try to check in on this thread every now and again—good luck everyone!
