Has anyone had their interview here yet and can offer some advice on what to expect? It seems like this is their first year of doing MMI with the traditional interview, so I was wondering how organized/efficient the whole process is and how it is different from past years. Thank!
 
I just received an II this morning! So excited.

We signed an agreement not to share information but it is a very organized process. They send you an email and provide you with enough information to understand the process/timeline.
 
For those who have interviewed, I see that it's part MMI station, but is the thing with a member from the admissions committee a 1-on-1 interview? Or is it a group interview? It's super unclear in the email

The traditional interview portion is 1 on 1. The length probably varies but I would be prepared for a 30min - 1 hour time frame.

No, got notified in the morning. Didn't have a chance to update here since I was at work all day. I guess there isn't a lot of information about the interview process besides the email.
 
For future posters who receive an II, can you do the rest of us waiting a solid and include the date your secondary was complete, and stats -if you don't mind sharing? That would be awesome. Thanks in advance!
 
Woke up to an interview this morning! Super pumped 508 3.89 good luck everyone! I was complete 7-15!
 
Any idea if this school pays attention to in the area emails? I will be flying out to MI for an interview at WMed and it would be nice to save a little bit of money.
 
How many people does Wayne State typically interview?

Congrats! That's awesome! Wishing you the best of luck. When were you complete?
 
II!! First one for me 🙂

Question for other people with IIs: I went to schedule mine, and for dates and sessions it says none found. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm going to call tomorrow morning.

Actually, in terms of your mcat, you hit Wayne's average mark. I know their old mcat average was a 32, but when I called admissions a while back, they said a 507 was their average score for the 2016 entering class. And on a previous webinar they stated having around a 70 percentile would be competitive.

I know Wayne isn't the only school that has had its average change, but it's still interesting. Good luck!

That is actually really interesting. Didn't realize the new MCAT has divided up the competition so much. Seems it might be harder to score as well? Or maybe somewhat of a learning curve as we all adjust to it
 
Interviewed today and I think I'm in love. The MMIs weren't awful although I bombed my first one because I was a bit nervous (don't ask for specifics, signed a nondisclosure agreement). There was also a 45 minute long form interview which was super chill.

They also made a huge diversity push over their last class. Lower SES applicants and URMs. Good on them for really looking at the whole picture.

Yea I heard this as well but you wouldn't be able to tell from the interviewee pool today it was pretty homogenous
 
If Wayne sends out an acceptance how long does one have to accept?
 
How much time do we get at each interview station for the MMI? And how much time between stations?
 
DocJuan said:
5 minutes per station. You have about a minute in between to read the next prompt then back into the rooms for 5 minutes.
