is it 500 people that are placed on the waitlist?

per MSAR: typical number of waitlist positions per cycle is 600, and number of acceptance offers granted to applicants on the waitlist is 300.
 
Update: WSU’s Second Look Day is being moved to online. Here’s the official email:

Future Warrior M.D.,

It is Wayne State University School of Medicine's ethical responsibility to place our community’s welfare above our own interests.

After much consideration and discussion over the last several days with the school leadership and university President M. Roy Wilson and his staff, the deans of the other five medical schools in Michigan, and public health officials, we will be canceling the in-person Second Look Day. Yet, we would like to invite you to a virtual event!

On April 6, we will hold a virtual event from 1 to 2 p.m. You will receive an invitation with more information the week prior, including resources and links to a virtual tour of the school. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to the Office of Admissions.

We look forward to showing you what urban clinical excellence means to us!

exactly, there's only been a couple people who've gotten accepted, but all of them have been from the waitlist.

Not sure where y’all are getting this info but I interviewed in December and got accepted that same month without ever being placed on the WL. I’m sure I’m not the only one either.

Welp, been a long term lurker. Interviewed here first week of Feb and personally had an amazing time. I felt the faculty and student interviews went wayyyyyy better than I expected and we clicked. Waitlisted 10 days after and been silent ever since. I love this school and I hope I get in. If that isn't a good sign idk what is. Fingers crossed. I just need 1 A

My interviewer asked where I saw myself in 10 years. I said probably teaching/learning in residency and she’s like ohhhh so you want to go into academia??? The interview went downhill from there lol

i assume WSUOM assumes you do not need a second look because you do not have a choice and are not accepted elsewhere or on a waiting list elsewhere

It is not rude or misguided but efficient, and it directs efforts and focuses resources. The Admin is efficiently utilizing its time and resources to be effective and efficiently competent.

respectfully disagree. second look is an opportunity for students to meet potential roommates and familiarize themselves with where they will spend their next four years. even if students don't have a decision to make, on the principle of treating each student equally and fairly, all measures should be taken to ensure that every admitted student is given an opportunity to attend. Also, second look is now online, so it should be little to no burden to involve every admitted student. Again I'm not claiming that the school is excluding people on purpose, I am just as willing to believe that it was an organizational error on their part.

Interesting, how would they know if we hold other med school acceptances? Either way, I have 2 other A's and didn't get invited for 2nd look day.

AMCAS shares your status with the schools’ admissions teams. From what I understand, they can see either that you’ve been accepted to at least one other school or not, but they can’t see how many acceptances you have or which schools.

Better to not have heard anything than to have heard something and be waitlisted. In your position, there is still a chance you get accepted outright. So you are in a good spot.
