I interviewed 12/19 and havent heard anything yet. Im pretty sure this exact same thing happened in mid december with those who interviewed in early december finding out before those who interviewed in november

Froday december 2nd accceptances. Monday dec 5th waitlists.
Well, thats discouraging. I'm going to stay optimistic though. Goin for that Monday acceptance
They say no news is good news, but I'm not feeling too well about my chances now. Wayne's my top choice too, so hopefully I'm wrong.
When was your interview date?
Dec 19!
Got word yesterday that additional interview dates have been added to the calendar so Admissions can reach their 1,000-interview goal. I don't know why they didn't have these dates set well in advance (at least on the tour guides' end) since they've been talking about upping the interviews this year for months. Five dates have been added through the end of February. That's about 150-175 more slots based on what I've seen. Hope those of you agonizing on this forum get them if they haven't been assigned already!
Yup can confirm when I logged on there were 5 dates through the end of Feb. Do you know if/when they will update their darn admissions tracker?
MR means your app is still being reviewed and no decision has been made. It will change to "Med School Invite to Interview (MV)" after they offer an interview spot. And yeah, if everything is checked but the official college transcript box then you're totally fine.
Was told we'd here something back by the end of the day tomorrow. Whether it's for the waitlist or something else we'll see.
When did you interview?
Anyone know if Wayne is actually changing up their curriculum to organs-based? I heard something vaguely referring to it at II day, but I never got anything about it in my acceptance package adn the website isn't updated at all. Did this end up being a forsure thing or are they still kind of considering it?
They are still working to solidify this curriculum. It's targeted for the entering 2018 class.

That's interesting. They told us we would be the first class. Guess I'm happy to not be a guinea pig even though I think systems based is inherently more interesting
Same. It's upsetting but what can you do.
So no waitlist movement this go around?
If I was waitlisted back in December what are my chances of getting off? Is there big waitlist movement here?

Were you notified via email?
Nope- just portal update about a week ago though
Yes; they want you to use the upload system available in their portal. I asked about updates a little over a month ago to verify.
Yes, my interviewer had my application for an entire weekend. He knew so much about me. It was really cool to discuss things he's already familiar with.
Interesting,
Oh dang that's kinda cool! So they won't ask unnecessary questions that they would have already known from reading my app.
How do we accept? I haven't received anything in the mail yet so I was just curious on the timeframe we have to accept our offers?
Open file + MMI. MMI is really short tho, compared to some other MMIs I've encountered.
Ok great. Assuming these two parts of the interview are weighted equally??
thanks
On the plus side, they didn't say no. We still have hope! Contrary to what I've read on here, admissions told me that they do/already have rejected students they've interviewed.
I'll PM you, my stats are weird.
Not sure- also curious about this myself. You'd have to ask them
If you activate your Wayne email address/log in to it, you'll see an email with a link to accept. Not sure if it's related or just a coincidence, but I got my stuff in the mail a few days after I logged into the Wayne email and accepted the offer. Not sure about the timeframe, though.
Just waitlists. Which is the frustrating part of it all......
Not to mention that they're interviewing a thousand people this cycle. So although Wayne was known for fast waitlist movement, it's going to be worse than previous cycles since they're seeing so many more people.
Admission Committee is holding a meeting as I type this comment
Yep! He even mentioned one of my references by name when asking a question.

That early in the morning? :O
For invites? Or acceptances? *fingers crossed*
Thanks for the info! Are the letters looked highly upon, or would they not really impact your application?
Asiago, two or three posts above your own, says that they do send rejections post-interview, even though we don't apparently see any on SDN, which means we (the waitlist crowd) may be part of a select group of those 500 or 600 that got interviewed or will get interviewed and were not accepted. Of course, because we don't see any rejections post interview on SDN, it might be fair to assume that they don't send too many really, which would mean that we would not be that select after all and our chances may not be that good after all....Nothing to do but wonder and wait...and, in my case, attempt to improve my application for next year. 🙁
I think another fair assumption is just that not everyone posts on/updates others on SDN. I know many people who have never bothered to create an account here.
I think another fair assumption to make is that when people are rejected post-interview, they are even less likely to consider coming to SDN with bad news. Rejection updates by waitlistees would be less frequent anyway.

Wow really? I got the impression that my interviewer was seeing my file for the first time during my interview, they spent the majority of the time looking down at my application reading it and really didn't ask me many good questions that allowed me to show them who I am beyond my application. I was pretty upset about it afterwards. It worries me a lot that there can be this much discrepancy between interviewers. I don't know what to make of this....
