Finally got my rejection! A bit sad that the place where I work ended up refusing me twice. Good luck to y’all!
3.92 + 51X mcat URM
I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sorry again to ask this, but was it post-interview rejection?
 
it’s all based on trends and how they’ve been giving out As this cycle (and last cycle) but ofc none of us truly know what’s goes on behind the scenes
From comments it appears that there was flurry or As last week and before that it was quiet for sometime. Is it common for candidates to get direct As after the interview or everyone(most of them) are placed on WL first and then promoted to As?

almost everyone after new years seems to be automatically put on the waitlist. some people were put on the waitlist only to be accepted hours later, but that's about it

Yeah like @ThatSerb said 99.5% are WL but the 0.5% of those WL can get accepted a few hours later (the same day that they’re put on the WL)
 
So I read something interesting on premeddit just now, and wanted to ask yall about it. During the faculty interview, were you guys asked about which other schools have sent you IIs (or even As)? Apparently Wayne is known to do this? I was not personally asked though. Now I am kind of overthinking that I might have seemed like I was not interested in coming to Michigan :’)

Yesss it was the first thing I was asked!! I was asked if I had gotten an interviews, how many, and how many acceptances. It might’ve just been the interviewer I got though... I don’t think there’s anything to worry about

Didn’t get asked this! It’s a very common question tho but u mean why Wayne matters more so if u were clear then I wouldn’t worry at all

I don't remember any questions like this for mine either... but that is really interesting. Try not to overthink it, you got this! 🙂
 
I wasn’t asked about which schools, but they did ask how many interviews I’d had. I thought it was odd but I still answered the question.

I’m OOS. Maybe that’s why they asked me since they want to know how likely I am to come to Michigan?? Not sure though

Teehee, i love how active/supportive this thread is ❤️
 
For anyone who has interviewed on Mondays, what time did you get your interview welcome email? Interviewing tomorrow and haven’t gotten anything

I got asked if I got accepted elsewhere, but they didn’t prod about to which schools. If it helps, the next question was “Why us?”.

Oh yea, they definitely asked the famous ‘Why detroit and why us’! Interesting how questions slightly differ for everyone
 
Just got off the waitlist tonight at 7:56! Interviewed near the end of October, waitlisted in the middle of November. I'm an IS non-trad reapp with a pretty high MCAT and average GPA. So excited to join all of you fine people at Wayne State! For those who have been accepted, what should I be doing in terms of financial aid? How is everyone figuring out living arrangements?
 
If the tracker does update proactively, I wonder why Wayne likes to sprinkle As throughout the week/weeks...Why can't they just mass send As so we don't go too neurotic for their letter :'(
