Hi Everyone 🙂 I was wondering if any current student can comment on Street Medicine Detroit? Is it a popular program? and what sorts of specific tasks would the volunteers be involved with (like is it more of a typical free clinic or is there more emphasis on outreach) Thank you!!!

It’s actually a mixture of both outreach and clinical. It’s a student organization so it’s not exactly a massive operation. The focus is on working with the Detroit homeless population and helping to manage chronic disease like diabetes, high blood pressure etc. Students will set up tents at events for free screenings and work with local organizations. Also they try to provide supplies to help manage these conditions when away from medical care. The biggest issue is a large majority of the homeless population don’t have physical proof of being a citizen and therefore don’t qualify for assistance, so street med helps to bridge the gap. If you like working with the underserved and want good clinical experience, it would be great for you.

any II today?

Not for me. I've been checking the portal, spam folder, inbox, you name it.

 

[labtech312]

Hey Guys,

Do you get a completed email once everything is submitted? I submitted my secondary and application fee two days ago but have not got a completed email. In the portal it still says "Med school app incomplete (MI)".

Does this mean primary apps or complete apps?

its been like that for at least 3-5 days

Fairly certain it’s primary apps only. Last round had close to 10,000 so staying around 6,000 is a good thing for us.

 

[serotonin78]

Thank you!! 🙂 Yup it definitely sounds exciting, and now I really need to finish this secondary... which has been sitting in my inbox for over 3 weeks... hopefully it's not too late yet

How do u know it was 10,000 around this time last year? From a thread?

It was around 10,000 for the whole round, not just thru August. I was finishing up my Masters at Wayne then so it was big news. They tried this new tactic of email spamming OOS students to apply. Naturally, they did apply thinking Wayne wanted them and many spent the $150 without even an interview. A lot of people were pissed.

Thats why when the schools spam me I always request they pay my secondary.

You're kidding about the 3 free secondaries... right??

 

[futuredoc0307]

nah i'm not, I get a feeling these schools know we dont have money. Also never hurts to ask.

 

[dapperdoc]

Alright Wayne State, I think it's time to get the ball rolling.

 

[TobyFlendersin]

Watch it be a sampling bias and they’ve actually given out IIs to people, just nobody on here

 

[UnderRepresentedMajority]

Keep in mind that Wayne didn't send II emails last year according to the SDN thread. People had to continuously check their portals.

Wow, really, I had no idea! Thanks for letting us know

Where would you even see that you got one on the portal? Is it the same place that says in review on that checklist page

"med school in for review" will change to something like "med school interview invite"

this would be true for other schools. But wayne has a tracker, and so far they haven't reported any II

Link to this tracker people keep mentioning ?

 

[futuredoc0307]

https://admissions.med.wayne.edu/

scroll down it's on the right next to the matching stats

 

[stoolsittingbackwards]

only EDP individuals have gotten II from what I understand

 

[TobyFlendersin]

The tracker isn’t updated daily or even regularly just FYI. It’s not a good indicator of day to day changes. Also, although the portal will change first with an invite, you should still receive an email within a day or two to schedule the interview itself

 

[NinjasAtMyDoor]

It looks like they started interviewing on Aug 7 last cycle. I wonder why it's been so silent this late into August... Even no word from ED people....

 

[futuredoc0307]

i say we mass spam the school with calls

 

[BurntFlower]

I can confirm. I received and accepted my interview invite all through the portal.

This thread right now:

EDP people have heard! I guess EDP only interviews this Friday and next Friday

 

[futuredoc0307]

I wonder if adcoms occasionally visit these threads and laugh at us as they share a beer

 

[theworldismine]

Does Wayne State send an email to confirm completion? And what is the option of uploading your visa supposed to mean, is it necessary for completing the application?

I didn't get a "complete" email. I logged into my portal and it says something like "med school under review"

 

[theworldismine]

Actually I just received a complete email today, but the portal also says "med school under review" so maybe your complete email went to junk?

Haven't received any email yet. When did you submit your secondary?

 

[UnderRepresentedMajority]

I didn't receive a complete email either and have submitted everything since early last month.

 

[theworldismine]

Submitted Aug 18, but I don't think the complete email matters if the status under the checklist is "med school under review"
