I don't know who you spoke to because I've never heard of a supervisor there and I know everyone, but that's just flat out untrue. No use arguing about it, my point was that just because orientation starts Monday doesn't mean you're done. Normally a few students don't show up.
Calm down, Donald Trump. I literally started my reply with "Not to give anyone false hope" so I'm not sure what your deal is. Also, Dawn is the same person who told me 3-4 weeks ago that Wayne isn't accepting anymore students and the class is full. Not to mention, if this office has such a "supervisor" then why are we calling and getting completely different answers and false hope all the time? Not a single person has ever gotten the same answer from what I've read. None of us believe are chances are great at this point anyway, but its better than no chance.
sounds like an acceptance haha
I have no acceptance email though or portal change and the call was 8 hours ago.
sounds like you need to find a phone fast haha
They're not open now lol. We'll see in the morning.
Good luck dude!!!
Look, I get that Dawns official title is supervisor but let's try to not get lost in the semantics. The guy called me a liar just because of something Dawn said, when we all known Wayne refuses to give us any traight answers after months of waiting. Dawn told me in person the class is full 4 weeks ago and to reapply because Wayne won't be accepting anymore students with orientation so close. Obviously that wasn't the case and at least 10-15 more students were accepted. If you don't wanna believe me about the late acceptances after orientation starting that's fine, but I have seen it happen more than once. Also, if you're willing to believe everything is so set it stone then why read this thread at this point in the game?

Congrats! How long did they give you to decide?
I think she said 1 week, might have been 2. I didn't really care about the date because I knew I would accept anyways haha.
That's crazy I would have figured this late in the game they'd be telling people 2 days or something. Regardless, congrats!!! You give me hope.
Thanks man. To be honest I'm fuzzy on the timeframe, so don't quote me on that. But good luck to you and all other waitlisters.
Congrats! That's awesome!
Weird. When I called yesterday I was told that Monday would be the last day to hear anything.
Class is completely full and since orientation starts Monday and they close over the weekend then tomorrow is the day. She said it's extremely unlikely for anyone to be taken after day 1 of orientation even if people don't show. They would rather go with a smaller class then call and accept people she said, it makes no sense why they changed this policy.
Interesting. Did she actually rule out Monday as a day for potential offers? If she said it's unlikely to be accepted after day 1 of orientation, then that still means people could get in on day 1 of orientation (Monday).
Not that it matters now, but last year 80% of the students on the waitlist were accepted, according to a friend of mine who was one of those students and who has a friend on the admissions board. This year, it would appear to be different since they interviewed over 400 additional students compared to last year but kept the class size exactly the same. So that percentage is probably much lower this year. Sure enough, we'll just have to wait until tomorrow (or next week) to see if we'll be one of those lucky people.
OK I'm not sure why they told me on the phone that they interviewed an extra ~400. I just checked last year's numbers and they interviewed a total of 818 by the time the cycle was over. That's only 66 less interviews than they conducted this year. So hopefully that 80% number still stands. I could've sworn they interviewed a lot less people last year. My apologies for the misinformation.
Wasn't misinformation really, Wayne told me that too. The only thing is 80% movement still leaves probably 100 students on the wait list. She also ruled out Monday as a day for offers, saying they never really give offers after orientation has started. But this was the secretary so I don't know how reliable it is.
I called today. They said they don't know when's the last time they'll be sending out offers. They have no clue if it'll be today or Monday or even if that'll be the last day. They just don't know anything.
It ain't over 'til it's over!
Its hard to say, historically it seems like Wayne State always has large waitlist movement (I think the % Ive seen cited was in the neighborhood of 60-70%) but last year definitely broke that mold pretty significantly. Based on older SDN threads, it seemed like more than half the number of people reported being pulled from the WL last year than previous years.
You give me hope lol
