After seeing other people accepted and WL from my interview day and after, combined with the fact that they don't seem to send post-II rejections, the signs seem to point to a silent R or a low-priority WL at best. That being said, I clearly don't know what I'm talking about since this is my second cycle with no A's thus far. Here's hoping I'm wrong in this case!
M2 here: we are one of only 6 med schools in the nation to do use cadavers for gross anatomy rather than a computer program, so that's a plus; we also have about 3 months of free time during our 4th years to pretty much do whatever we want.
I'm an M2 and happy to help with anything!
I'd honestly still hope for the best - they seem disorganized based on previous threads and that coupled with this COVID-cycle can make the wait even more tedious. At this point (and based on previous threads), they mostly reject if there were red flags in your interview (not fitting the school's mission, sounding arrogant, etc). 🙂 Did you interview at Wayne last year?
Not trying to be rude but I’ve interviewed at a dozen places now and more than half of them talked about using cadavers for anatomy.
I think this person meant to say they do FULL body dissections
Got it. That’s still why I understood the other schools do though.
It was basically just prompts that you read in a minute then you enter in the zoom room with your MMI interviewer and talk for 5 minutes. I didn't have any actual acting.
These are good points, thank you. And no, I didn't.
rooting for you 🙂
Hey, would you happen to know if it is too late to apply now for the primary as a Canadian? On their website, they state that they do not use rolling admissions, primary deadline is Dec 31 2020, but preferred by Nov 1. Thank you for your assistance.
Hey! To be honest with you, yeah, it's late to submit the primary now... I know the primary deadline is Dec 31 2020 but by now most MD schools in the USA, including Wayne, already have conducted or handed out almost all of their interviews so I would say it's best to wait until the next cycle. You would spend tons of money applying for minimal or no returns.
The biggest difference I made this second application cycle to the USA that helped me get accepted is applying early and applying strategically. Even if schools don't do rolling admissions, the earlier you get your application in, the earlier yours gets looked at before others submit theirs. Just something to keep in mind for next application cycle.
I was complete @ Wayne in mid October. Im hoping for a miracle. Had no other choice and had to make sure my MCAT was good
Same same!
Happy for you! Applied early at Wayne with great stats but complete silence 😂! Atleast I have other acceptances but it’s sad cause this was my top school!
Hey, thank you for the advice. As a Canadian, I am not familiar with DO schools, would you happen to know which DO schools are worth considering? I noticed that you applied to a number of them. If you don't mind me asking, could you share which medical school and DO schools offered you interviews? Thank you for your assistance.
MSUCOM and LECOM among others would be good places to start.
just curiosu why is it your top choice?
Do they not know how annoying those emails are to people on the waitlist/without an II? Still haven't recovered after I got that email a few weeks ago and thought I had been pulled off the waitlist.
They even said ‘Future Warrior MD’....
It’s not a bad sign. Idt they have the time to sort out these emails based on preferred candidates lmao
I have interview scheduled here and never receive anything haha you are fine!
This is normal. I was also worried about this but they said the tab will only show up the week of your interview (and it did)
okay perfect, thanks! Yeah in the email after I confirmed my track and date it said something about "the web interview tab should now show up," but that makes sense.
No problem! That confused me too, cause I first asked on this thread and someone said it would show up later, but when I saw that it said "the web interview tab should now show up" I emailed them and they said it would show up the week of the interview. the only info in that tab is technical requirements for what devices and browsers will work, the interviewer names, and the actual links to start the interview. (also wanted to add that I already interviewed but I imagine it will be the same for those that interview in the new year)
thats honestly just messed up
Ahh, it’s weird that it wouldn’t help at all but who knows how the admissions process works
Just sent one in this morning!
I sent one last week; hopefully it makes an impact
They don't do silent r's.
Have they already sent out some pre-II R's?
yup
I haven't interviewed yet, but did receive an invite and attended some of the chats. They're helpful but most of the time they dodge questions about WL movement and admissions because none of them are on the admissions committee.
