For most schools the waitlist is basically putting you on hold pre-II and alternate list is putting you on a list they can draw from for an acceptance when you are post-II. Although, WSU might use both terms interchangeably.
First of all congrats! Secondly they were anything from teaching faculty, to students, to attending physicians, to admissions faculty. Mine was pretty much all about my application and about my path toward where I am now. It was heavily geared toward "why medicine" in terms of how my path shows my passion for becoming a doctor. The interview was very relaxed but don't get to comfy. Be very professional especially if you get a student interviewer. Show your personality in the interview

At my interview they said the committee would meet in three weeks for our interview date and then mail out decisions. So she said we should expect to hear within 4 weeks.
Does Wright State commonly accept OOS students after the interview, or do they usually place them on the waitlist?

That's awesome!! Congrats 🙂 are you an out of state or in state resident?
Thank you!! And I'm in state
I have an interview coming up soon and I am really excited! Does anyone have any suggestions? They would be greatly appreciated!!!
It is two 45 min long interviews. Mine were all about my application so it was very conversational. I give the same warning to everyone...if a student interviews you, please be professional and don't think it is time to relax and kick back. They can be much tougher than the other interviewers.

AspiringDoc!
Also rejected- but for some reason my email is dated March 20, 2017. Did this happen to anyone else?
Mine was as well. Just noticed o.o
Joining the rejected train!
I didn’t get any correspondence from Boonshoft. Hopefully that’s good news, but it’s getting late for IIs.

Rejected pre II
I called because I sent another LOR and she was super sweet and said they send IIs through March and may be interviewing in April this year. No email for me either.I didn’t get any correspondence from Boonshoft. Hopefully that’s good news, but it’s getting late for IIs.
That’s really good to hear! I didn’t get a rejection (yet) either, so I’m hoping that this turns into good news for us 🙂
Same. I wish they took updates because I had 2 strong updates that would help fit their mission and make up for some lacking ECs but they will never know 🙁
Sorry to hear about that! Did you find out through email or vitals?
EDIT: oops, thought I was on the OSU thread. nvm!!
OOS and also rejected pre-II. I have already been accepted to several programs so this is not bitter grapes, but at least update your email attached rejection letter from March, 2017 to current date. Shows a lack of respect to all applicants who invested the time to complete primary and secondary applications.....just my 2 cents

Rejected pre-II, complete 7/24.
Does anyone else's email say "Your reviewers rated you very high, but we can only interview 450 applicants"? I'm wondering if they say that for everyone, haha.
