2020-2021 Wayne State

Med School Insiders
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
So i just got off the phone with them, and they were saying its pretty typical for it to take a bit of time for the information to be sent out. I think this email was sent in mistake. We should probably be getting the correct info next week
 
Are acceptances ever sent out on Friday or are they pretty much always on Monday?
 
Does Wayne state have a virtual second look day? I haven’t received any notifications about it.
 
Did those of you who were accepted receive financial aid info with your Academia log-in, or did you get a separate email notifying you that aid had been posted?

When I first got my academica info, I logged in and saw there was no financial aid info. Just blank. A few months later, I checked academica again and saw that they had given me a board of governors scholarship. I still haven’t gotten any email saying aid had been posted or that I was awarded a scholarship. However, I did get an email last night talking about today’s virtual second look day. In the email, it says, “To date, all scholarships have been awarded and recipients are notified.” Lol like I said, I never got an email about mine. But it is possible that after April 30th some people will give up their scholarships to go elsewhere and we might have a chance at receiving those.

I have the same status and I was accepted last week. My final transcript won't be in until late May/June because I'm a current senior so I hope I get financial aid information much sooner than that.

This is my third time reapplying and unfortunately was rejected back in November.

Can y'all give me some advice on what I can do to improve myself?
Like I feel like I did everything, improved MCAT for 499 to 507, did the post-bacc GPA replacement thing, have good essays, and a lot of experience.

Would love to hear some of y'all's profiles.

I took the MCAT in 2019 with a 515 and have a 3.95 cGPA and 3.92 sGPA. Majored in Physiology and Finance and minored in economics. I have over 2000 hours of service from starting undergrad onwards and a few minor abstracts published in conference journals. Got waitlisted immediately. I’m a reapplicant too, and it sucks man.

It seems like 507 isn’t cutting it for Wayne now unfortunately. The incoming class average is 510-14, even with a class size of 350 plus. I don’t know how many times you’ve taken the MCAT, but if you study/practice enough and have a 517 plus with a depth of clinical/volunteer hours, you might get another interview (if this was your first time for Wayne).

I just attended the second look event and they said if this is the case to email the financial aid people directly (Adam Zangerle: [email protected]) to let them know and they will update it for you. They said it happens because they received your FAFSA before you were accepted. They also said you should receive the aid offer before April 30th (I don't think transcripts affect it).

This is kinda random but did they say anything about acceptances or WL movement during second look?

Since (I believe) the event was all accepted applicants, they didn't mention anything about the waitlist. They didn't say they were done giving out acceptances or anything either, though. However we were put in breakout rooms at one point, so maybe someone in a different room heard something.

Third time lol, but I’m so sorry man. It just sucks that the goalposts keeping moving, it’s not like you can take the MCAT an infinite number of times (took mine three times already). I’m just exhuasted.

Did they say wether or not they’d be awarding anymore scholarships?

I don’t think Wayne cares much about stats! Accepted with lower than a 507. It may be something else maybe in your app? Maybe essays? Not sure

Mind if I ask what your experiences area? I feel like my essays were good so I’m not sure what else to improve.

volunteering and service is very big for them I think. even better if you do it with a specific group of people that are underserved and develop skills specific to working with them

Maaan, I spent all spring and summer helping out throughout Detroit with COVID relief efforts and still got rejected early on. I wish there was a way to find out where I went wrong, but their website says they don’t provide post-rejection advising :/

I worked a lot with urban underserved populations. Volunteer EMT for almost 3 years, taught at an inner city school, and specifically stated in my app that I want to work with these populations in the future. Like the comment above said, service is HUGE for them and a general passion for serving the underserved is what I feel they look for.
