but truly, i don't think i've ever been so anxious/stressed in my entire life and it's not even august yet. lord help me on this long journey forreal
I’m only writing Wayne State fam... I need every extra character I can get
lol are you serious?
i am SO aware of how crazy that sounded. i wrote that at peak anxiety levels in the middle of the night. now it is morning and i am ashamed LOL
I was debating for a while whether I wanted to apply DO or risk taking a gap year by only applying MD. I wanted MD bad. After I submitted my DO primary, I realized I had an ugly typo or two in each one of the 15 activity sections. I could've shot my self in the foot, but I took this as a sign from the med school gods to not to go the DO route and only proceeded to submit MD.

Most likely a passport.
I submitted my passport.
I have heard that people only answered it if they reapplied to Wayne State, but I, as a reapplicant in general but not to WSU, still answered the question. I think you can do either route... (sorry that's not of much help lol)
Hey folks, anyone here willing to swap Wayne secondaries?! My sister is sick of reading mine and I have no where else to go lol

What is the photo id they ask you to upload? Is that a government id (e.g. driver's license) or is it like other secondaries that ask for a photo of you?

I uploaded just a picture of myself but would very much like to know if I was wrong.

If you’re a citizen that was born outside the country add a passport pic. If not you should be fine with a headshot unless asked
fyi, the admissions tracker was just updated on their website https://admissions.med.wayne.edu/ and it says interview invites won't be sent until after 8/15 :/
This cracked me up way more than it should have
I can't wait for this cycle to be over already.whats the number of max letter of rec for this school? MSAR says 10 but can't find such info in the website.
Wait really? So I do not have to answer this question if I have not applied to Wayne State last cycle?
I am not a reapplication to Wayne State but answered it anyway. Not sure what is required.
Coming straight from the AAMC website:
https://students-residents.aamc.org/applying-medical-school/faq/amcas-faq/
Am I a reapplicant to all schools or only the ones I applied to before?
You are only a reapplicant to schools that previously received an AMCAS application from you. For example, if you applied to School A and School B last year, you would be considered a reapplicant at both of those schools if you apply to them this year. You would not be considered a reapplicant at School C since you did not previously apply to that school.
So if you submitted a primary application to Wayne but did not fill out the secondary, you are a reapplicant. However, I assume most of you asking about this are first time applicants for both primary and secondary so you are NOT a reapplicant. I don't think it necessary hurts you to answer this but there are probably some unwritten advantages to be a first-time applicant.
The portal reads:
"We [...] would like to receive the following items from you within two weeks of the date of this request in order to complete your application materials.
1. [LORs]
2. [MD/PhD letter]
"
And then proceeds with the essay questions. It doesn't state that the essays are due in that time frame, I think the two weeks applies to the letters only. I submitted within the two week time frame (barely) just to be safe, but I wouldn't read it as a requirement.
i noticed that too. sadly on the website it says they wont send until 8/15

Oh wow okay- thanks for letting me know!
after you login, you will have a page that has a bunch of things that you have to do like uploading picture, proof of citizenship..etc. one of them will say "MD Secondary application" click on the link under the "more info" and that will take u there.
Admission Application - Login
Submitted secondary last night
I got an error message of "cannot find person information" after clicking that link. Any thoughts?
I think I had issues loging in as well. I called them and they reset things for me. Call them!

they should be on the first page
nah
See my post above on this very same page. It explains everything.
Thanks for the clarification. The confusing part is that schools usually state to answer this question whether you have "applied to any medical school" or "applied to OUR school previously". Wayne State seemed to be vague about this in the question.
did you find an answer to this question?

Kinda. It's not a hard deadline so they're not gonna toss your app. As to whether it negatively affects you in some other way, not sure but I'm betting it doesn't. I only know of 1 MD school that actaully has a hard 2 week deadline and this isn't it. I also submitted 3/4 weeks after I got it so will keep you updated as to whether that made too much of a difference lol
Recent Google search.... "what does one do for fun between now and August 15th"

Wait what happens after August 15
Wayne starts sending II. it's on their site
lol i swear time is a bi***.. if I had an exam coming up days would fly by. but when u want time to pass by quick, it's a crippled grandma
I called the admissions office because I just wanted to make sure. They said since so many people miss the info about the 2 week deadline, they from now on will be okay as long as you return it within 4 week from the day you receive the secondary app. so you are fine!! you don't have to call them or anything
Nobody does. Read the text under the transcripts lines - they only receive transcripts after you are admitted.
