They definitey will. Those who interviewed on Dec 19th were told they would hear back during the third week of January (1/16 - 1/20).
Try checking your spam folder. A lot of schools admissions departments have emails known to be sent to spam folders. My WashU emails went to my spam folder
We signed NDAs so we can't discuss it. It's 5 stations and they'll explain to you what you have to do before you go in.
Sent from my LG-H918 using SDN mobile
My spam mail empties every few weeks so it might have been deleted but I've gotten other emails from them .
Could you share how you prepared for the MMI if you don't mind?
There's no way to prepare for an MMI interview. You'll be fine though.
Haha thanks hopefully
Exactly, just prep for the 1v1 and let the MMIs flow naturally. It's a really relaxed day, don't overthink things.
I remember one of the current students mentioning how some of the students live on campus but when I looked online the page says on campus housing isn't available through the medical school. Can students still get on campus housing through the graduate umbrella? Or did I just remember that incorrectly?
To the best of my knowledge most medical schools don't offer housing directly, but the umbrella university (normally associated with undergraduate programs) does. So no, the medical school does not have on-campus housing, but Wayne State University does. The campuses are within a mile of each other so living "on-campus" is a viable option (though not the most economical). I don't believe the university offers exclusive graduate program housing, so you may be surrounded by the shenanigans of undergrads. Keep in mind that the school already is dealing with a student housing shortage (over a 1,000 more units are in the works), and the entire Midtown neighborhood cannot keep up with demand, so if you plan on living within a few miles of campus I would start looking for housing as soon as you are committed to Wayne.
Admissions decisions today?
I have not heard of anyone getting rejected yet. It will be snail mail and I assume they will start sending them out this month.
Does anyone know if applying for the joint MD/MPH affects your interview timing at all? I didn't think it mattered, but I just came across the joint program hangout that states "Select candidates will be interviewed for the MD/MPH program in December, January and February". So is it possible that they skew their interviews where MPH/MD people actually don't get interviewed until later in the cycle?
Maybe? I applied MPH/MD but was invited to interview in August. Maybe I was rejected from the MPH program though and didn't know it lol
Haha okay that ruins my theory.
Idk though. From what you quoted it does appear some applicants will be interviewed in those three months specifically. Might be worth a call?
I just sent an email, we shall see. Were you admitted to both the MD and MPH?
Nope! Just MD. I never heard anything about the MPH program so I assumed it was like other schools where you indicate interest but don't actually get in until the fall. But i assume it's equally as likely they passed on me for the MPH and offered me the MD only track. Let us know what you find out! Good luck! 🙂
My one line email response was: "MD/PHD interviews are conducted throughout the interview season"
Note, I asked about MD/MPH 🙄🙄🙄🙄
For photo, they just need a current photo of you. At this point I thought it was too late to submit a secondary. The checklist should tell you what needs to be done
Did anyone get the background check email yet?
Yep, I got mine yesterday.
Thats Weird I havent recieved mine yet.
Got mine about two hours ago, so maybe they're released in batches instead of all at once.

Is it too late to submit a secondary? Somehow I did not get a notification to complete a secondary until a recent email stating my application was missing information. Thanks.
Deadline was Dec. 15th buddy
Accepted students: when is Second Look Day?
Current student here, but it's usually in April. Invites are sent out in March.
Deadline to submit to AMCAS was Dec 15. Deadline to submit secondary is January 31st according to admissions office.
All we know so far is that they've sent out 555 invites, and people have heard they will be doing 1,000. So I think it's safe to assume we will get another "wave" soon.

Not at all. Its been that on the site for a few weeks.
Unless they havwnt given any II's in a few weeks, which i doubt.
Probably make it 19, just to be safe.
I feel you, groveling seems like my best bet at this point
Got an email from the admissions office stating that the 555 was accurate. Let's hope the email was accurate 😉
I hope this means there will be another giant wave of II's soon!
You are in their BMS program, correct? I bet you will be one of the remaining IIs!
That's very sweet of you thank you! Yes I am and I'm crossing my fingers.
