[misshaven]

Anyone seeing "runtime error" "server error in / application" on the pre-matriculation portal? I can't seem to open it.

Im having the same problem as well!

 

[abelson]

[tiabour]

I’m having the same problem !

same problem here!!

 

[birdr]

Haven’t been on in a while and don’t feel like going through this whole thread — any waitlist movement here yet?

 

[Blue Lion]

So given the responses on the last page, are IIs essentially done being sent out?

 

[YellowCard]

yes there has been some

 

[deleted992197]

When does Wayne State notify accepted students about scholarships and financial aid?

 

[drinkwaterresponsibly]

I asked this a while ago and didn't get a response. I took that as that there have not been any EDP applicants that went from WL to A.

I was edp and still WL :/

 

[tiabour]

When is the student senate gonna create the facebook group?

 

[tiabour]

When is the student senate gonna create the facebook group?

EDIT: most of the other schools that I have been accepted to already have their facebook groups :/

 

[notreallymyname]

Here's the official class of 2024 Facebook page! I believe the link will be sent to all accepted students sometime in the near future. Congratulations, class of 2024!

 

[netflix007]

Is the interview open-file, they have access to our gpa and mcat and letters of rec??

 

[CaptainWEMT]

From what I remember the 1:1s are. Both of my interviewers had my file out in front of them and were asking me questions about it.

 

[premed914]

For those accepted, aside from responding to the offer response in the portal, is there anything else you need to do to confirm your acceptance? Thank you!

No. Just complete the pre-matriculation list as they come

I just got an II today! It's my first, so I'm absolutely over the moon.

 

[HeyBron]

Complete date??

 

[forrockrock]

Complete date??

My application was complete 12/30. I decided to go on ahead and shoot my shot. It actually paid off.

 

[imbesrs]

My application was complete 12/30. I decided to go on ahead and shoot my shot. It actually paid off.

Congrats man! with only 7 total apps sent in and super late thats a blessing and a half. Turn it into an A!

 

[DrRen]

My application was complete 12/30. I decided to go on ahead and shoot my shot. It actually paid off.

Congrats, well for the rest of us completed earlier, kinda seals the deal. Should I re-use the same PS? Also what was the final date?

 

[fdizzle12]

Anyone who interviewed, you didn’t have to bring anything to it right?

 

[future_doctor_14]

Anyone who interviewed, you didn’t have to bring anything to it right?

Nah I'd just bring your ID with you

 

[The Big Lebowski]

II earlier today (first of the cycle!). IS, Complete in November. 3.41 uGPA/3.89 Master's GPA, 511 MCAT.

 

[tiabour]

Anyone who interviewed, you didn’t have to bring anything to it right?

No. But they’ll take a pic of you at the end of your interview that I believe they said will be on your student ID if/when you matriculate

 

[mickmouse301!]

anyone that's has the checklist yet -- do you know what day orientation starts? I'm trying to schedule travel plans!

 

[fdizzle12]

Anyone who interviewed yesterday, y'all are some incredibly talented people, and I'm honored to be in your company. May the adcoms smile favorably upon us 🙂

 

[medstudent245]

Anyone who interviewed 12/20 still not hear back yet?

 

[perfectprism]

Anyone who interviewed 12/20 still not hear back yet?

Right here lol

 

[steponitpatrick]

Can anyone who’s already interviewed describe what it’s like? The MMI and the one on one? Anything I should know or do ahead of time?

Edit— were the MMI questions senario based in patients as in “a patient comes in *controversial ethical thing* what do u do?” Or more like general ethical — like CASPer — questions, or just standard interview questions? Or were they a mix? Bc all the MMIs I’ve had so far were different in question type and caught me a little off gaurd. Was there an acting station or was it all just u talking to different people? If anyone feels comfortable answering any of these Id really truly appreciate it!

Does anyone know if Wayne is okay with sending thank you letters?

 

[jq_dr]

Contacted the admissions office and was informed that the last date for interviewing is 2/14. 🙁 wondering how much of a chance I have of getting accepted if I'm one of the last they interview. OOS

a decent chance because a lot of people accepted early, like myself, will be rejecting offer sooner or later

 

[coolbeans0405]

for those of you who just got II, what was the last date available?

 

[doctor_coffee]

Interviewed today and have a couple questions that the school did not address( if anybody knows the answers):
1. what is the expected turnaround time to hear back after interview?
2. anybody know about the financial aid that the school provides?

Thank you!

 

[DrRen]

Hey anyone who got accepted after doing the BMS program at Wayne this cycle. It's been total silence for me (applied late because of serious illness) and I don't want to waste my gap year doing nothing. Is it a good program? What is the minimum GPA needed for it to be a good asset to your application. Also is EDP worth it?

The dean of admissions talked to us after my interview on Friday, and he said we would know by April 30th lol. Judging by previous threads, they knew in a month.

I very rarely post, but out of virtue of not wanting another person to waste 30k I will tell you my experience of the BMS program. If your goal is to get into Wayne State's medical school, stay FAR away from their BMS program. Let's be clear, on the orientation day they are very clear with us that the medical school has no obligation to take a certain percentage from the program. However, they also state that getting over a 3.7 will make you an "extremely competitive" applicant and I can tell you from getting well above that, that that might just be a case of stretching the truth. Going off past years, it seems that they offer interviews to their class at the very end of the cycle, which is slightly insulting to say the least, and this year I don't know really of anyone that has gotten an interview. The worst part of the program is the fact that they tell you to only take 20 credits in the first year (kinda coincides with the 20 credit policy they have right?), which isn't really ideal when you're applying to other schools. I would much rather have taken 16 credits per semester of upper level science courses at my local university than do 20 credits in an entire fall + winter + spring at Wayne. Funnily enough from my own personal experience, other MD schools seem to respect the program more than Wayne does.

As to the actual content of the program itself, I actually liked it quite a bit. The medical school professors are the same ones teaching you, and they're all excellent (which the exception of the horrific anatomy professors). Don't worry if you're an incoming Wayne med student - the anatomy professors in this program are different than the ones that teach the med students. I feel like the courses do a really good job of preparing you for the first year of medical school and I'm glad I had that experience. Only sad thing is that there is essentially no guidance provided and it isn't really much of a program so much of it being a bunch of classes that you take with the same people. Ultimately, did this program put me in a position to get into medical school? Yes, but it definitely wasn't at Wayne. Maybe there are others that have had a different experience than me, but in my opinion, please save your money and do something cheaper like taking classes at your local college.

Yes, send your thank you letters AS SOON AS YOU CAN. I asked my interviewers for their email addresses--they will not tell you if you don't ask!

I tried sending you a pm but seems like you profile blocks it. Can you add me as a friend?

 

[mmchick]

And listed details to jog his memory. He sent me back a curt email saying to leave what was said in the interview, in the interview. And that the scenarios are property of the medical school and not to discuss it with anyone!

But I can still give you a little bit of advice. I interviewed in October, and the questions may be different, but they want to know that you can critically think your way through a novel scenario.

Seems like his curt email still didn't get through to you. Many schools that have MMIs do not want you to discuss specific questions or the structure with others - it gives an unfair advantage to the process that they are trying to normalize through using these unique, ethical questions. You giving examples of the thought process is considered an infraction on this agreement that you likely signed a NDA for. It like baffles me that you literally directly broke this agreement straight up to the adcom who gave you a slap on the wrist in a strongly worded reminder and now here you are again spilling out the structure of their form of questions... like did you even read what you signed? Or have any respect for their rules?
