No official academic update, but you could upload an unofficial transcript to your portal and send a quick email to admissions letting them you you've sent fall semester grades.

Thanks a bunch!
Follow up question: Does anyone know if the interview is open or closed file?
open they have your whole app in front of them
Have there been any pre-II rejections? Or is WSU silent rejecting this year?

II literally just now. Woo!
whoah! that's awesome! Did you find out via email or by checking the portal?
I got an email around 7 this morning, and then I checked the portal and it was also updated
Yay awesome!! When were you complete? And stats, if you don't mind?
@aceofhearts2618 I was complete way back August 10 and I am in Wayne's BMS program. 3.2c/3.0s/3.9 BMS and 502 MCAT

Omg, so it's just been sitting there? You hadn't checked your portal since August?
Bad news for the downtown/midtown area over the last few days... and this is the safe/nice part of Detroit, Michigan.

On a positive side, a new chef is coming to Detroit: http://www.freep.com/story/entertai...starred-chef-trades-chicago-detroit/96723500/

Yep. I didn't think it was necessary to check portals, I've been notified by email for all my other interviews. Now it has me paranoid and checking all my remaining portals constantly! I contacted admissions about my contact info and they have it so I don't know what the issue is. I've actually gotten no emails from them. I even had to contact them about the link for the portal and and getting the secondary application. They are letting me come interview still, but it's late in the game now...
The earliest one is Feb 6, but honestly I don't think more than 1/2 the offers have been made so it's not the absolute worst. I'll see ya there if you choose the 6th 🙂
what were your options for interview dates?
Congrats!
I kind of stopped looking after the first one (Feb 6th), but there were 3-4 dates listed and I believe they were all in February. The 6th was the only one that had only one session that day, the other dates had 2 sessions per day.
Congrats!!!!!
Anyone know the rough % of students offered an acceptance from the number # students interviewed?
At my interview, the coordinator said they will interview between 950-1000 people, and accept 400-450 people. She also said that they do not overfill then hope enough people will choose not to matriculate, that's why they put a ton of people on the waitlist.

That is actually not true. Last year they had 799 interviews and accepted 528. I have that on good authority too.
This year, they will be conducting 950-1000 interviews.

Congratulations!!! I've seen you on this thread (and MSU's) and I've been rooting for you! 🙂
It's been unchanged, except for total # of apps, since early November. Look at my earlier post.
Ok this might be a super dumb question, but I'm a little confused. I applied MD/MPH, but I know at Wayne the MPH gets added on between 2nd and 3rd year. So am I technically interviewing for MD/MPH, or just MD and the MPH will decide if they want me at some later date? Also, if I decide to no longer do an MPH, can I still just be admitted to regular MD and change my mind?
***Fingers crossed for some waitlist acceptances today***
Right there with you..

So does anybody actually know if decisions will go out today? Or was that just speculation?
they went out today! I got in!!!!!
Wow such fast turnaround!
I got in here today! So excited 😀
I dont think so yet. I'm pretty sure even when you dont get pulled off the waitlist you get a status update email after decision dates.
I've been on the waitlist since November and haven't had any sort of status update yet. :/

Really? Maybe that was only last years cycle then.....
Does your status bar on the dashboard show the original date they notified you of the waitlist or has that at least been updated each notification date?
I got the waitlist email in November, but my portal wasn't updated until December, with the December date. I'll let you know if it updates again after this round, maybe that is updated every round instead of an email.
Maybe. Whether or not we get pulled off this time, itd be nice to at least know, so I can stop checking sdn and my email until next month.
I got the waitlist email Dec 5 and that's what it shows on the application status page. It hasn't changed since then, and I've received no status update emails.
Oh for a world in which I knew my ranking on the list...

I interviewed 1/13 !
That was fast turnaround for 1/13 people. Did anyone from 12/19 hear back yet? And do waitlist emails come out the same day as acceptance emails?
