69 LM and 510 MCAT. I have a 4.0 in my post bacc. Do you think I have a chance considering they have sent out a lot of interviews already?

As someone has mentioned earlier, they intend to interview between 1200-1400 students. There has been roughly 750 interviews requested, so there are plenty to go around. Whether you are competitive or not, that I am not sure. You have the stats but as an international student, your chance is always lower than a domestic with the same stats. But this admissions process is more than stats so you have good of a shot as anyone.

Waitlisted... Wayne stated again

What does accepting your position mean? Just like mentally?

He told me that he thanked the school for their consideration or something like that. I don't remember exactly what he did, but it sounded like he communicated with the school.

What does accepting your position mean? Just like mentally?

My WL is at a different school, but basically I was notified that I was being offered a spot on the WL and then asked if I wanted to accept my spot on it. So basically do I like the school enough to stay on the waitlist, or would I rather just withdraw.

got an II. how much of a difference would it make to interview one week earlier? have to choose b/w 2 dates and the later one is more convenient.

edit: complete mid August

I honestly have no insight on this, but I can't imagine it will make that much of a difference. Pretty sure adcoms discuss multiple interview dates at one meeting, so its probably pretty likely that your interview dates will be discussed at the same time anyways. Good luck!!

I’m going to scratch my skin off from waiting c’mon wayne state stop beating around the bushes get back to us #WorriedWaitlisters🤢

 

[abelson]

complete since mid September...radio silence

 

[BlueBerriess]

When were you waitlisted? I've been on the wait list since September 26 🙁

it's been over 20 years now, i've lost track of time, I dont know who I am anymore

 

[BlueGangsta]

Hi, when you reapplied, was it your gpa, mcat, or ecs that changed the most? or did you not apply widely enough?

Gpa actually dropped because I left some of my more difficult pre req courses like orgo till 4th year. However my gpa was 3.80 this year regardless. Wrote the Mcat again and my score was the exact same a 507. I had gained more shadowing and research experience between my apps. I had a long-standing high level of leadership experience and also quite a diversity of experiences in general. This year I also had better reference letters, 6 in total. 3 profs who knew me very well and personally, and three people from where I volunteered including a very accomplished endocrinologist. Honestly I feel like EDP helped to give me a foot in the door for the interview. I’m a Canadian app so I feel like that hindered me last year.

[Mantis-toboggan-MD]

II received on 11/14 and Attended on 11/20. Hang in there guys!

 

[DiabeticMed]

Complete 8/13 with silence...getting annoyed that most schools seem to do this. At least others send update emails like, "we haven't gotten to you yet, hang in there." Any type of communication would be nice

Submitted all my schools in July and haven't heard anything from many of them. To be honest, I can live without the jump scare from a "hang in there" email!

 

[aaaap]

For those who have received an II, did you get it only on the portal? Or did they send an email as well?

Has the adcom at Wayne sent any teets yet?

 

[MedHomoSapien]

I was complete here in late July but received my 2nd MCAT score 9/4 (499-->511). I have a cGPA of 3.79 and a sGPA of 3.75. Do you guys think I have a chance with my late MCAT?

Why not try it out? Lol you seem great but remember they like those who help the underserved.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I just had one last question. Did you get accepted before Oct 1st from EDP or did you get accepted with the regular applicants?

 

[momoxxvi]

II today, LM 71! Complete 7/16, IS.

 

[student233]

Just got my accepted email today! Interviewed two weeks ago. Very excited! 🙂

Congrats! Do you mind sharing your stats?

 

[tiabour]

Got accepted!! with low MCAT, feel free to dm me for moral boost- but please remember that every applicant is very unique and it’s a holistic review process

It’s exhausting how everyone in the 51x-52x range make it seem like if you don’t do well on the MCAT you’re doomed

Hey! Has anyone ever gotten in with a DIY post bacc? Everyone seems to talk about SMP ya know like from U of M and Wayne State's BMS program.

I did a DIY postbac with a pretty atrocious undergrad GPA and was admitted. I used the extra time to beef up my EC's, though. I did above their 20 credit suggestion and my interviewer assured me that I had made up for my undergrad GPA! Good luck!

 

[eliza123]

I submitted my secondary on Oct 15 and just got an interview today. You still have a chance.
MCAT 511 and Gpa 3.79 no clue the breakdown :/

I also submitted my app the same day, low stats but decent ECs. Nothing yet tho 🙁

I'm at Wayne and got in with a DIY post bacc at a community college. As long as you do well, it doesn't matter where you do it.

Were you a non science major previously? I heard it worked with those you were more mature with children. Also how many credits?

 

[MedHomoSapien]

I'm OOS and my app was complete on 8/7 and I haven't heard anything yet

Do you guys think I have any chance at getting a II?

Someone will reply to you with their experience but it is a good idea to check the past years' threads.

 

[SweetBurger]

When does possible WL movement start? Are we talking next year?

I remember seeing on last year's thread someone coming off the waitlist in mid-December, so let's hope for the same this time around lol

 

[jpdaman11]

Completed 9/20ish. Crickets. In-state. Doing a masters. Sent update including the first course that I aced.

 

[MedHomoSapien]

How often is the admissions tracker updated? When was the last time it got updated?

 

[Jappa]

When navigating a match list and seeing students get placed into a "transitional" or "preliminary" year without a PGY-2 placement, does this mean these students failed to match/had to scramble to SOAP? Want to make sure I'm understanding correctly because if so, the most recent match list here has quite a bit of these and it is concerning.

Advanced PGY-2 positions and the Match: What you should know

About 10 percent of medical students match into advanced PGY-2 and preliminary PGY-1 positions in tandem. How does that process work?

www.ama-assn.org

Hope this answers your question

some residency programs require you do one year of a "basic" residency program in PGY1 before starting the "specialized" residency in PGY2, I just read through the 2019 match results and saw what you were talking about. Unfortunately, that just means one more year of "school" before you get to start work, so if that's not for you then go for a different specialty. 98% of students at WSU match, so in a class of 300 only 6 people will not match. These people typically didn't send enough applications out, had disciplinary problems, failed exams, poor STEP scores, etc.

 

[paranoid_premed]

for those who interviewed, how many mmi stations were there?

 

[eliza123]

I haven’t heard anything from this school. So nerve wracking and frustrating! Submitted in mid oct
