According to last years interview tracker they ended up interviewing 884 students or somewhere around there. I initially thought it was 750 too because of msar.
I think people are confusing Interviews with interview invites. I believe their target is approximately 1000 interview invites, not actual interviews.

That’s true, I’m assuming they interview around 900 students this year and are accepting around 550 students, making the post interview acceptance rate 61%. The fact that they have already accepted 256 students (until around December 10th when the interview tracker was last updated) scares me to death since I have been waitlisted since 10/17
The thing about being accepted after orientation is that a lot of us have back up plans, perhaps even D.O schools. I can imagine signing a one year lease, paying the deposit, waiting for my loans to be disbursed and all of a sudden finding out that Wayne State has a spot for me. That would be....
I interviewed a couple of months ago and they said this year they wanted to interview 1,000 applicants. In fact, I wrote It down on a piece of paper along with other stats they provided.
Just randomly looked at my financial aid info and it said my estimated cost of attendance was only 1,120$ and tuition was only 1$. This happen to anyone else?
Where are you even seeing financial aid info? I haven’t gotten any info about it
Login into academia (login.wayne.edu) using the wayne email credentials. Then go to student resources, then the financial aid tab.
Does Wayne State allow for update letters?
They do, I asked the admissions' office. Just upload it on your portal!
Also been in review for a couple months since I submitted my app... unfortunately don't think it means anything lol
It's here on the admissions website Admissions - School of Medicine - Wayne State University
Anyone have an idea of the when the next adcom meeting is?
My best guess is that it will be sometime around the 18th or 19th of this month based on previous meetings and the holiday season but it's only a guess at this point. Sorry!

Congrats to everyone who has been accepted so far and good luck to those still waiting to hear! I thought I would share the Class of 2022 facebook page here again since its been a while since anyone posted it. Log into Facebook | Facebook
Has anyone received the criminal background check thing yet?
Yupp! Did it a couple of days ago.
I haven’t gotten anything yet 🙁 it’s through AMCAS, and not Wayne, right? So I can just contact AMCAS?
EDIT: Just called Certiphi directly and they re-sent the email. 🙂

Got the email from Certiphi today around noon!
Glad you sorted it out! My actual check took ~2 days. Just received an email asking me to look over and okay the release of the report.
Do we get the criminal background check if we’ve been waitlisted too or is it just for accepted students? Anybody who’s been waitlisted receive one?
Waitlisted. Nothing here.
Yeaaaaaaa I kinda figured.
Did anyone else receive an email saying something about how your application is still under review and interviews will continue to be given out through to mid-February? I'm not sure if this is a positive email or if it's a nice way of saying I was rejected haha. Thanks!

Does anyone know what Wayne's major scholarship awards criteria are? Are they only given to students with multiple acceptances as a means of recruitment?
I didn't yet </3
Was this sent to your regular email or their weird personal email (which I haven't tried to set up yet because I assumed it was for admitted students only)?
I received it to my personal email! I've been complete since July so I feel like it's basically a courtesy email probably with no meaning. Although I'd love an interview, I received an interview last year (one of the first interviews they gave out in August 2016) and was waitlisted right until after class started this year, and haven't gotten an interview this year. I'm Canadian too so that might make things a bit more complicated...
They are going to send out interview invites until mid-February, so every time they send the next wave of invites, your application will be considered unless they decide to flat out reject you. Since they haven't rejected you, there is still a chance you will be invited.
Do they do pre-II rejections?
I don't think so. From what I've been told, they don't send out rejections until the end of the cycle?
Any idea what the most recent complete date was of an II?
No idea, sorry 🙁
I got a pre-II rejection email in November
I did not get that email... This happened at another school - bunch of people got the "still under review" email but I didn't; I just got the R later that day. If I had to guess, I'd say getting the email is a good sign that you're legitimately still under review.
Sorry, I got it mixed up. They do pre-II rejections, but they don't send out post-II rejections until the end of the application cycle.
Someone said according to last years thread, people might hear back this Friday. No one knew for sure though, but hopefully, that is accurate!
Guys has anyone interviewed this January and can share with us when they said they would inform you of a decision?
My bad! From everything I have heard of thus far, they don't reject until the very end. The only thing would be that if you haven't interviewed yet and interview season has passed, then you could assume a rejection. At this point however, it's too early.

I didn't get that email either. This also happened at another school for me, but instead I got the "still under review" email several times before getting a rejection letter.
But looking back at how Wayne sent secondary app invites to people who were already accepted, I wouldn't put too much thought into it. It may just be another technical issue.
Very true; their systems seem to be a little klugy. Like putting IIs on the portal but not emailing people... [checks portal - nope, still not invited].
I called to see when the next adcom meeting will be. Dawn said they already met this month and sent out decisions and the next one should be mid February.
That is exactly what I was thinking... When she said it, I repeated it just to clarify cause it seems very unlikely. I feel like there would have been at least one person posting their acceptance here.
Current second-year student just dropping in to welcome those who have been accepted and to encourage those wait-listed to keep hope. I interviewed in December and was accepted in April.
