So interview tracker is at 1454. Well see y’all next year then. :/ I guess there’s no hope for an interview

I don’t know the logistics behind the numbers and maybe I’m just being overly optimistic. But I believe you never truly know until you get the rejection email so there could still be a chance.

Definitely! At the student coffee chats through Wayne a lot of current students were talking about how they didn't interview here until Feb/March!! There's always hope until you get the R, don't get too discouraged!
 
Maybe they close down for the holidays. Don't a lot of academic institutions close down for the two weeks of Christmas and New Years? We might not hear until 2021. Interviewed 12/9 and praying. I'd love to hear tomorrow.
 
this may be a dumb question, but does Wayne inform applicants who are OOS/Canadian/International about decisions earlier to allow these applicants time to apply for aid, moving to Detroit, etc (especially with COVID) if they are accepted?
 
Does anybody know if Wayne State is still sending out II? I've been complete since 9/18 and it's been silence since

I had a couple miscellaneous questions if anyone knows the answers to some of them (prospective students or WSU students!):
-Are lectures mandatory to attend?
-Is there a dress code when you are on campus?
-How often are exams? (also heard there are weekly quizzes?)
-What does your typical week of class look like?

oops sorry for just getting back to you but I'm a current M1 at WSUSOM so I can help answer your questions!

- Lectures are not mandatory to attend. All of our lectures are recorded which makes it nice so you can set your own schedule. We do have some required review sessions during some of our units which are generally pretty helpful and we have some required zooms every week but no required lectures.
- there is no dress code! We just need to be wearing scrubs when we go into gross anatomy labs which is pretty reasonable but other than that, its chill
- So we have weekly quizzes that are required but are pretty lenient (you get 100% for your quiz score if you get 70% of the questions right and you get three tries to get your 70%). We have exams after every unit so typically every month or 5ish weeks. We'll have a histology exam on Monday, Gross anatomy exam on wednesday, and then our big NBME exam which usually counts for 55% of our grade on a Friday and then that's it for exams!
- So our typical week of class will vary based on the unit but usually we'll have anywhere from 4-12 lectures to watch and study during the week, we have a 1.5 hour histology lab via zoom that happens about once a week, and then we have another course called P4 with a 2 hour required session every other week. So not too bad in terms of requirements but you definitely have to be careful with managing your time. We also have gross anatomy but the number of labs depends on the unit but those will be 3 hour labs sometimes up to 2x a week.
 
I've never posted but it seems like everyone here would rather know than not know. I interviewed 12/14 and got on the alternate list on Fri 12/18. I got an acceptance email yesterday at 2pm. I honestly think it's a fluke or a mistake since the timeline is so strange, but we'll see!
 
Congrats everyone!! I believe it's because Wayne waitlists everyone (even those who are not fully reviewed) to have more time for extensive review. I assume admins have a certain due date to make decisions, which is why the strange timeline exists? I heard it happens more frequently in the later portion of the cycle.

I think you’re most likely right in this case since it didn’t seem like any A’s were released from those dates (it was all WLs). Probably default WLed everyone for more time to review. Makes for a pretty great early Christmas gift, so congrats to everyone this happened to🙂

Thanks fo your detailed response! It was really helpful.
I have a question about the housing. Where do most students live? Are there any specific apartment complexes that most of them live in? Any recommendation is much appreciated! 🙂
