For the people who’ve interviewed in the past how long did it take you to find out if you’d been WL/accepted post-interview?

It depends! Sometimes it can be as quick as two days, while other times it’s 1+ month. I guess it also depends on when the committee meets

Accepted 4 days after interview. Was really surprised because they said it would take a month to get back to me. Thought they hated me so much they sent me an R that quickly lol

what was your LM score and when did you interview if you don’t mind me asking? I got this vibe when I interviewed this week too and I was just overthinking

Took about 2.5 weeks for me to hear I’d been accepted. LM 70, interviewed late October

I interviewed October 12th. I've never checked my LM score 🙃. And thank you I was very relieved haha. I'm wishing you the best of luck!

Just received an email saying that they don’t have available med students for my interview 😳..... if I am track 2, does this mean I will just start 45 minutes late (track 2 does student interview first)

yeah but you'll still be asked to attend the orientation/welcome session prior to ur interview

Can anyone provide more information about the interview? Mainly:

- How long is each interview? Each MMI room?
- Are the faculty and student interviews open- or closed-file?

- How long is each interview? Each MMI room?
- Are the faculty and student interviews open- or closed-file?

Both my faculty and student interviews were open-file, I don't remember exactly but both were between 30~40 minutes. Each MMI was about 5 minutes with 1 minute before the call starts for you to read the question. You will be told how this works in the meeting before your interviews.
Good luck!

Your faculty can range anywhere from 15 min to 30+ min depending on the person interviewing. Typically it’s 35 min and student interviews are also 35 min. MMIs are 5 min per station but the rater can ask you other questions after you’re done answering the prompt (so could be a few extra minutes). Everything’s open file for both faulty and student (student doesn’t get access to your grades/mcat)

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it! And congrats on a great cycle -- I'd bet money that you probably tutored me at some point, based on your WAMC, lol. 🙂

No decisions today? 🙁

 

[stressedpremed123]

No decisions today? 🙁

Guess not😭 Really wondering when they plan on releasing, has anyone been in contact with them?

 

[sadppremed]

do those that interview in the new year have an advantage for WL spots?

 

[Julatteluver]

do those that interview in the new year have an advantage for WL spots?

According to previous threads, the school commented that post-new year interviewees are more likely to receive WL but they also receive priority for A from WL. So if the school is keeping the same system, then I’d say so

 

[YZSpremed]

did any early-mid December interviewees hear back yet?

 

[msmathteacher]

Does anyone know when Wayne State usually stops sending out II?

Wondering the same thing!

 

[stressedpremed123]

Wayne’s been so silent with decisions lately, wondering if they’re planning to do a large wave of them sometime soon :/

im anticipating late this week or monday next week

Probably mid-January. I know the last interview dates are usually early February.

That's what I'm thinking!

I think end of January/early February based on last year's thread.

 

[sadppremed]

yeah i know they've had more interviews recently so when they update the tracker is when I anticipate more decisions going out

 

[marmalade27]

The latest interviews are actually early March, at least they were the first time I applied here!

I was going off the "interview information" on their website but I may have misspoken

Reallly hope so, let’s hope it’s a large one since they’ve been silent the with As for so long!

 

[sally9801]

Hey guys, does anyone who interviewed have any tips or info on what it was like? This is my top school and I really don't wanna mess it up.. of course I'm not asking for specifics, just a jist of how you felt overall.

 

[sk4589]

Complete 9/10. Sent an update last week too, don't know whether to lose hope or not 🙁

 

[deleted1055354]

Do you think they read all updates?

It’s very relaxed! Just be yourself - it’s a conversation . I was so nervous going in but thoroughly enjoyed the experience because of how great a job they do to make you feel welcome and calm 🙂

Unfortunately it is mostly done !

Do you think they read all updates?

Nope depends on your screener.

I was in the BMS program. Is it possible that a screener could be someone who taught me?

Don't lose hope yet. I was im BMS program. A few of my friends who ended up attending Wayne got interviews in February-March.

But indeed, it is coming to a close IMO

What if its a post ii update? Do you think it still depends on the screener?

 

[medpreme]

someone said that post-new year interviewees get priority in getting an A from the WL. Why? does that mean those WLd before the new year should pretty much call it quits

I don't understand that either

I definitely wouldn’t say call it quits, the SDN page last year showed tons of movement for those before the new year too.

super discouraging hearing that. but thank you! hope all goes well

We just have to hold tight for a couple more months 🙂 keep the faith!

This is absolutely not true. It doesn’t make much sense why one would get priority over the other.

I didn’t mean to say it to imply that earlier waitlisted applicants have less chance! According to last year’s wayne state’s thread, the school waitlisted majority of post new year interviewees because the admissions ran out of time to review. So I believe the school mentioned priority to clarify that waitlisted might have meant that admissions needed more time to make decisions. Again, idk whether the school is following the same rules this year. Don’t get discouraged though!!

My experience has been that it hurts less to gently let go of hope earlier on, than to try to hold on too tightly and later have it forcibly ripped from your grasping fingers.

 

[mightyATP]

This means that the Percentage accepted from WL is probably inflated
