2018-2019 Wayne State University

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
For anyone who was told that they would be skyping with a student for their interview, I just got an email from a student and it looks like you can do it through facetime or google hangouts. Also, you can dress casually lols.
 
Have we established what SC means? (besides possibly "secondary complete") 😛

I think the prevailing hypothesis is “screening complete” while ss is “screening started” but this is all entirely conjecture, nobody knows for sure....... it’s all very mysterious
 
Went from SS to SC today, although I don't really know what this means. I'd been SS since 9/4.
 
Do you get an email sent to you when you have an II? Or does that status on your portal just change?
 
I’ve been on MR LOL. Might as well just cross this school out and call it a loss.
 
have any OOS people been accepted yet? I'm OOS and interviewed but I only see IS people saying they've been accepted.
 
Kinda neurotic but, were you morning interview or afternoon?

Afternoon. I speculate that everybody who was accepted today interviewed with a person who had the power to make an immediate decision regarding an acceptance. As far as I know, not even people who interviewed weeks ago have found out yet. I think the majority of people will fall into the 3 weeks to 1 month category in terms of decisions.

I agree. My interviewer was on the admissions committee and we really connected during our discussion.
 
Those of you that have interviewed already, where are we supposed to park? I was thinking that WSU would send some sort of information email regarding parking etc but they never did...
 
There is parking right across the street. Just show up at 7:45 (be early) and your fine. You don’t need to bring anything!

Perfect! Thanks so much 🙂 Is it the little lot across the street on the map or is it a parking structure?
 
Does this mean I'm waitlisted? Interviewed 10/1


"Thank you for your interest in the Wayne State University School of Medicine and for taking the time to interview with us.

While your academic accomplishments and exceptional character make you a strong candidate for medical study at WSU, it is the Admissions Committee’s decision to place your application in our alternate category at this time. Your application will be considered during the remainder of the 2019 admission process and, if your status changes, you will be notified by email and/or telephone.

By being placed on the alternate list, you may receive an offer of admission at any stage of review from now through the beginning of orientation in July 2019, when final admission decisions are made. If you matriculate into any U.S. allopathic or osteopathic school of medicine during the present application year, your application will be withdrawn from any further consideration.

Congratulations on your achievements, and best of luck in all your endeavors."
 
In previous years, Wayne offered 200/500 acceptances off the waitlist so there is definitely hope. But I’m not sure how that’s going to change with the new AAMC rules.

Do you happen to know if the waitlist is ranked in any way? Like does it benefit us at all to be waitlisted relatively early on?
 
i got waitlisted too so im pretty sad about that lol. think it just sucks cause both my interviewers told me straight up that they had nothing negative to say about me and that they were rooting for me. so i had these high hopes when the day ended
