I don’t think that deadline was even real. They didn’t enforce it, there was no email warning, there was nothing. So I highly doubt they upheld the deadline probably because of fin aid situation.
Oh wait, I just got the email lol
NoDoes it allow you to see how many people that was sent to?
I completely agree that Wayne Grads do well in residency matching and beyond, but I think very little credit should actually go to the school itself. It’s more about being in an urban area and seeing medicine during rotations that so many others would never see. And having so many hospital systems in one area. And students becoming so self reliant from incompetence that it bodes well for the real world. Detroit even had a VRSA outbreak a few years back which is unheard of normally speaking. So students are a product of the environment, not the school. It’s really not asking much to make a more streamlined interview and application process and make administration become a little more accountable. Although it seems like a small price to pay, you’re actually paying them close to $300,000 in most cases.
I wouldn’t even waste your time as it’s highly unlikely to reach the admisssions committee in less than two weeks and affect their decision by now. Also Kevin Sprague is supposed to be a non-voting member and isn’t technically apart of the admissions committee. The adcom will start accepting people by phone shortly so the best that we can hope for is that they start accepting nearby applicants. Giving an OOS applicant two weeks notice would be pretty ridiculous for a public school.
Well, f**k, I addressed my LOI to him following online advice. Guess I should just kick back and accept the end of the road.
And as an OOS (CA specifically), I agree it would be ridiculous but I wouldnt be totally honest if I said I'm not wiling to live in an air bnb/extended stay or even my car for the first two weeks of school before starting a lease in August 😕😵
“Dear Admissions Committee” or something of the like
Insert “I hope so” vine
Can’t say for sure but I remember from a previous cycle that they start calling in the 3 week range. They need to know ASAP if you plan on accepting and you get I think 2 days to decide before they move on to the next person. How this will all work out with financial aid and ordering things, I have no clue. What you can do though is make sure all your immunizations are completed and documented. Those take a while and some require two TB tests.
I’m sorry, in reference to what again?
Phone or email? Some years ago a friend of mine got the call literally second day of class. She failed the first exam, but is rocking downtown Detroit now as a pediatric neurologist
I mentioned this sometime last year about being accepted late. Then someone called admissions and they claimed never in the history of Wayne State has anyone been accepted after orientation started. So naturally everyone said I was spreading false info and went nuts on the thread. What a school man, what a school.
That's cause you're from HR.
I'm in the same boat. This process is like burning coal. Making gold out of us before we become doctors!
Classes begin July 15th.
I believe it’s July 15th. There’s plenty of people who have been accepted in the last two weeks. They’ll probably switch to phone calls soon.
if they call you will Pam Beasley pick up?
No, Kelly Kapoor. She’s like really smart now. You don’t even know.
It was by email!
These last two weeks crazy movement happens. I think most of us on the waitlist have done our part and been patient. I sent a letter of intent, just gotta wait out and see. I'm hoping being a Detroit native and having strong ties to the community helps with the process.
no idea. it all depends on those who ain't commit and also waitlist movements at other schools. Things still feel way up in the air. last friday some acceptance went out and some rejected those acceptances.
