Guys, i say give Wayne tomorrow, sat and sun, if they are still silent after, we can officially enter panic mode
Yes I agree . It’s still premature to panic. I’d even say give them until early next week before we enter panic mode

You can shoot your shot... but be aware that some people who had sent LOIs were rejected from the WL in the last two R waves.

I sent one 2 weeks ago and I am still in the clear. I would just shoot your shot. Nothing to lose to be honest.

Tracker updated to 679. Those FB numbers were new acceptances....
They seem to be very much in full capacity for them to release only 4 new As
Game over?

next week is surely going to be an interesting week for us. unless Wayne's yield is so good that it defies the previous trend, Wayne will have to have more movement. I mean, I wish they would tell us what to expect, but we all know they won't so we shall see....
Wayne will probably ghost us next week too 💀 🥴
If Wayne stays silent next week, this cycle is truly cursed

We are currently sitting at around the same yield as last year though. 290/709 vs 290/679. The yield is only calculated considering the total number of admission offers I guess, it doesn't matter whether the number was pre or post PTE deadline as long as the total number stays around the same by the end of the cycle. Or at least this is how I thought it is calculated, No? 🤔
i think it was 725 ish total acceptances for last cycle (not that it makes a huge difference, but still around 40-50 more spots.) My speculation was that Wayne had a massive acceptance wave from WL even before PTE date was due to super low yield the school had with initial acceptances. Schools would not be using waitlists unless available spots come up I assume. So unless that initial WL -> A wave had an amazing yield rate, I thought Wayne would need to utilize their WL more. But yea, in a more grand perspective, you are correct-- wayne is showing similar yield as of now.

I think only 4 spots is not a good sign. Welp

Yes it's possible and I think that's what's happened too. A lot of people secured only one A this cycle or are on multiple WLs with no As.
theoretically, more applicants should not affect the WL movement. It's more about how many IIs and initial acceptances have went out compared to previous cycles. Basically, the assumption of having more WL movement stems from the fact that many applicants were able to afford to attend all of their interviews since everything has been virtual this year. If schools sent out about the same number of IIs (we know Wayne didn't but there were other schools who claim that they kept everything the same this cycle), and over accepted as usual, then we can say that there is a high possibility of having more applicants with multiple acceptances. If this is true, WL movement should be larger than usual because one can only attend one school after all.
Now, the question is did schools really over accept as usual or did they accept a bit less due to the fear of having low yield? This question cannot be answered because we don't have data to back up our speculations. Some admins apparently admitted that schools were conservative with acceptances because they were worried about their yield. However, if they moved their WL before 4/15 like Wayne did, this shouldn't matter (but we know many schools do not move their WL until CTE date).
So my conclusion is that nobody knows what kind of movement will occur this cycle. But I am cautiously hopeful for now because many schools started their movement strong and big. Also Wayne being mid tier and pretty crazy expensive for OOS should potentially help with the movement (Usually mid tiers have pretty good 'trickle down' movement from kiddos who choose high tier schools). Only time will tell

I'm bracing myself for the R waves 
To give you more optimism, it seems like Wayne had a bigger WL movement during 2nd and 3rd week of May, not first week 😉I'm bracing myself for the R waves

Reading last year log, one can see that WL remained active until a week before the session starts.

yes but i also need to get myself together for this upcoming cycle and can’t do it til wsu tells me something ANYTHING 😭
I remember being at one of Wayne State's virtual coffee chats and an adcom who was there said quite plainly: "We plan on accepting about 675 students total." I'm pretty sure the acceptance tracker was at that number before April 30th, so maybe that means there won't be the kind of waitlist movement that has happened in the previous years?? Either way I gave up all hope and am sadly preparing for this next cycle 😢

Ofc not that I don’t believe you, but if they planned on accepting LESS people this cycle, they should not have interviewed more....wat the heck!

deleted1096346
Was this from one of the recent coffee chats or from before New Year?
This was in December. But I don't know if they'd change their stance on it
The adcom for sure said that but I agree with you in that I have no idea why they'd interview so many people! Maybe due to the increase in applicants this year they just wanted the best pool for them? Sigh
hmm I've been to a lot of the coffee chats and I don't remember them giving an exact number of As. they were pretty vague when talking about the WL or acceptances. If you can find the coffee chat on their website can you please send me it? Also, if they were going to not do ANY WL movement they would've rejected a lot of people in the two major r waves that they recently had. we can all speculate but none of us knows for sure what Wayne's doing this year and what their motive is
edit: also last year the tracker didn't update to show WL movement that occurred in May. Maybe they're giving out ~675 acceptances but that might not reflect WL movement which can vary and isn't set in stone ya know?
I'm sure each coffee chat is different because in the one that I attended it was based off of us premeds asking the med students questions. Multiple waitlisters in the chat were asking about waitlist movement, so the Adcom explained on video chat that the best time to send in LOI would be closer to April when there would be more waitlist movement, and that they would accept around 675 students total.
And I never stated there wasn't going to be ANY waitlist movement. There definitely has already been movement, I'm just saying that now with 679 admission offers that's very similar to the number that adcom told us. I think maybe the waitlist movement started earlier this year? That's the only thing I can think of. People will still probably be pulled off the waitlist in the future I'm just being realistic with information that I was given by an actual Wayne State adcom.
I've never been on their coffee chat website I only clicked the virtual link when I was an attendee in December and have only ever been to 1 coffee chat.
Btw guys I'm not here to be a debbie downer or kill any hopes of anyone getting off the waitlist. I hope you all get off and I'm sure people will continue to get off! I'm just sharing information that I was given by a credible source. Choose to believe me or not, I have zero reason to lie as I am also on the waitlist and this is my only waitlist lol.
Guys, let’s just pray for more movement this week!!!!!!!!!!! Wahoo!!!!

Was the R wave massive? I think I missed it.
A lot of people on here reported getting the R so I’m assuming it was massive because sdn applicants aren’t the entire applicant pool

Awww I'm so late to this but you guys got this!! I highly doubt they're done with WL movement, may/june is huge movement historically 🙂

Is anybody else experiencing issues logging into the application portal?
mine took a very very long time to load but i eventually logged in no problem

Mine says can't find the server. How can I fix this? I tried using a different browser too, it didn't work.
Damn I just tried again and I got an error page! The neurotic side of my brain thinks this must mean something but it's probably just site maintenance...

HAHAHA I thought the same!!! hope it's not a mass rejection though 😂😅
