I don’t know if I would go with that logic, other places have sent out WL notices already, but I also leap toward unpalatable conclusions quickly.

This could be like the MCAT where they staggered the decisions to avoid overloading the portal.
Or they had a group they decided on immediately and a group they need to think a bit more about than 10/15, there’s a lot that could be going on.

Does anyone know how responding to the offer works? There seems to be no required deposit but is it a retractable response? Best wishes to everyone this cycle!
Anyone hear back yet that interviewed on 9/6?

I submitted my app over 9-10 weeks ago and still have heard silence. The same from all my other schools except 2 put me on hold. Does Wayne State usually take a while to get back to people, or does the long period of silence mean something similar to a 'hold' in that they saw my app but didn't love it so they are gonna keep it in their pile for later? I'm just trying to understand how this all works--sorry if I'm asking a dumb question
(Im hoping) it could also just be a difference in your interviewer. I remember mine said he hadnt looked at my application until the morning of the interview itself, so maybe some are slower than others to give their evaluation of you.
Did anyone else have their interview cut short b/c of an interviewer emergency?? Wondering if that affected my chances since the school never followed up with me even though they said they would...

WL ain’t RIP at Wayne. This school gets good movement so don’t give up yet. Maybe it’s not even a WL
8/26 here! I'm trying not to get to stressed about not hearing back yet. I'm glad that others have been able to get good news today though!
For anyone who has checked the acceptance letter in their portal (not the email), did you see where it says a decision must be made in 2 weeks? I assume this is a mistake, and was probably meant for those being accepted off the Waitlist in the spring. Decisions don't have to be made until April 15th, correct?

Just scouted the previous couple years threads, and it seems that Wayne State has intermittent waves of Acceptances and WLs, so if we didn't hear back today, that doesn't necessarily mean it's a WL/R.
I was waitlisted for 7 months before I was accepted, so please hold out hope 🙂

She also said it’d be available within the next week. *shrug*
I do not believe WSU rejects people post-interview until the start of the next school year. If you interviewed, you are guaranteed at least a spot on their WL, which they tend to revisit over and over again at each adcom meeting.

Yes, miraculously about 600 people cancelled their interviews a day or 2 ago, so now they have about 600 IIs left to be sent out according to their tracker and assuming they will be interviewing roughly 1200 applicants like they did last year.
Gotcha, interesting.
If this is true I hope they send me an II! Been complete since late July and haven't heard anything from them yet.

Congrats! I was wondering what time zone you live in? Meaning did you get the email at midnight eastern time or pacific time or something else? Thanks!

I believe I saw that the interview tracker had switched from 1227 to 600 something sometime last week or maybe even before that, before the October 15 acceptance release date. I'm wondering if they just mistakenly put the total projected interviews to be sent out (~1200) instead of the interviews requested prior to this change. I personally don't think that it was because 600 some people dropped their interviews within the past 2 days.
I think it was some sort of glitch as well, because 600 people cancelling their interviews before decisions could be sent out doesn’t make any sense lolol

Hence I used miraculously. Too lazy to reference the prior jokes made regarding this drastic change lol
Waitlisted just now.
Is waitlist the same as the alternate list?
