2020-2021 Wayne State

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
the other thing that makes this cycle a hell cycle is the fact that the MCAT cutoff for EDP is now 511 instead of 509 because that's the new 80th percentile. love that for us

why have the percentiles changed? because of the shorter MCAT version?

This is so disheartening. This cycle has been so frustrating and I was really holding out for some WL movement from Wayne :'( Especially since my May 2018 MCAT will expire at some schools this cycle.
they didn't imply that there would be 0 movement just that it'll probably be smaller than usual and closer to CTE
 
This is soooo frustrating - I just with they'd cut us loose already and let us get on with our lives. This WL is my only option left and I wouldn't even be that salty if I got rejected, I just want to know! I can't wait until July to decide if I'm going to continue working at my job for another year - so they're really backing us into a corner here 😭

This may be the least stressful period of the cycle. You got nothing to lose, prepare for the next application and use your experience from this cycle... and hope for the best, who know you will get a call in July! If not you already have a job!

Off-topic but so glad to have you on this thread. I think premeds often forget that worrying doesn't really solve much and the collective neuroticism on this thread is contagious, but having a parental support figure (even over a forum thread) really helps ease things, at least speaking from my experience
 
Fr, Wayne was my top choice (out my interviews) until I saw that they somehow lost both DMC and Henry Ford in the last 2-3 years. I'm almost impressed by how bad they they are handling their school and I'm sure its only going to get worse in the future
Current M2 here, we have not lost either of those sites-- my M3 friends are currently rotating there. We now have to share them with MSU, but we still have access.
 
Good luck to all of you on the WL - May the force be with you! Hang in there!
On a side note - if you’re an accepted Canadian and are currently not in the Canadian GroupMe chat, message me and I’ll add you so we can complain about our Canadian-specific issues LOL 😂

Do we need to do urine drug test besides titers? Do med schools do random urine tests?

I figured not for M1s since its not in the handbook/policies but I would think we would need to get drug tested for clerkships down the road.

Any current students can pitch in?

Yeah that’s what I was thinking as well
 
Theres so many of us on the WL, and with so little movement, I dont get why they cant at least R the people at the back of the list
If no one drops by the CTE deadline, they probably find it easier to send a mass R email rather than picking and sending individual Rs. sucks for us 🤷‍♂️

Just some dates in case anyone was wondering:
Wayne's CTE deadline is june 14th and the first day of classes is July 6th... So it's really down to the wire now

So does that mean if we don’t hear back before the 15th it’s likely an R?

i'm thinking that after everyone finalizes their A with Wayne by the 14th, Wayne may send out super late As *IF* they have empty spots from those who end up declining the A. It's entirely possible that some people PTE'd to Wayne but are waiting to get off waitlist or don't actually plan to attend Wayne but PTE'd bc their first choice doesn't require PTE (apparently schools like that exist)
 
Has anyone been accepted off the waitlist in like the last month? I feel like I’ve heard nothing snd the accepted students has been at 679 for a whileee
 
Isnt the commit to enroll deadline tomorrow? That means we would likely hear back this week if we are going to at all right ?

Yes, hang in there with us.
It's very likely that we would hear something this coming week. They will send As if any spots become available at all. If not, they might reject the majority and keep a few still on the WL in case anyone drops their A due to emergency or unforeseen event.

Probably not tomorrow though. Im assuming the deadline would be tomorrow 11:59 pm.

So since Wayne doesn't have a ranked waitlist, I doubt they will reject us until the very end. Whenever someone pulls out, they'll match their stats/ecs/interests/etc and pull from the waitlist that way, so we're probably all here until july 6th
