Is anyone able to comment on the MMI experience? Did the interviewer ask any follow-up questions, or were we expected to be monologing the entire time?

After reading the prompt, you just start talking about the scenario and if you answered all of the questions in your monologue, then they won't ask any follow-up questions. I ended some of my MMI's a minute early because of that.

Anyone who submitted their secondary around August 3rd get an II yet? Any canadians get invites yet? Really starting to get worried as this is my top choice.

I had a Canadian in my interview group.
 
Had an amazing interview experience. For anyone who's nervous, Wayne State definitely had the most chill and relaxed interviewers. I had a great time and I am thrilled at the prospect to be a student here!
Patiently waiting for hopefully good news. 🙂

Could not agree more! Also, they gave us a decent amount of time to speak with the other applicants interviewing.

Sending love to all of y'all to not lose hope! The medical school application process is strange and it's impossible to read admission committees and how they review apps. Remember, the admissions committees have to pour out their eyes over thousands of apps (literally) and with COVID-19, the number is probably even higher. If you haven't heard back, then it's likely they just haven't gotten around to you yet since you're not out until you get the R and if they somehow you give an R, then it's because you're too awesome for them to be able to help you get where you want to be (ie mission fit would not be symbiotic enough).

But yea the process is mentally very stressful and even worse when you realize we're only halfway through (presuming it ends in April which is in 6 months, 6 months ago was about when the pandemic was peaking). But take the time to binge eat, binge watch tv, or take up a new hobby (or invest in stardew valley/don't starve and just become a farmer/fisherman) since logically speaking, there's a chance we won't be able to do it in a year. Or you know, be really neurotic and get a job processing/researching COVID samples cuz then you won't be checking your email and phone constantly when there's potentially COVID on your (gloved) hands 😉

10/21 interview date
Feeling anxious and impatient already

For people who've heard back does it usually take the full 4 weeks. I might explode before then haha

From previous posts here, the people who interviewed in early October heard back in about a week. I believe their committee meets every other Thursday and today is one of those Thursdays which they may be meeting.

Edit: grammar

Do you guys think it's unlikely they will send decisions today since it's 4:30 pm already?
 
Hey friends, off topic, but I interviewed last Friday and I didn't catch the email of my faculty interviewer. I tried searching for them on the WSU directory but couldn't find their name. Would it be appropriate to email admissions about this or email the person who facilitated our interview day?

Try using the search bar on the regular Wayne State website and look over on the right side of the screen for a name.

Yes it’s fine to email admissions. They can forward the thank you notes to your interviewers. Source: I did this.

They will send you an e-mail. In any case, I hope you all hear good news soon. It sounds trite, but it is still really early and COVID is getting worse all over Michigan, so don't take it is a bad sign! I'm sure I will be seeing some of y'all as classmates next fall!! 🙂
 
I do remember someone on admissions saying we should hear back by nov 1st which is Sunday, so I assumed today would be the day too. Needless to say, I'm flinching at every email that comes into my inbox. Good luck everyone!

If it's by Nov 1st and (I think) they don't send decisions on the weekend, most likely that means we should hear back tomorrow? Fingers crossed
