Members don't see this ad.

I think Wayne state has already sent out the vast majority of their IIs (90%+), so while it’s not impossible, it seems like a bit of a long shot at this point (unless they are conducting a lot more interviews this year than last year)

Me trying to stay blissfully ignorant trying to convince myself my II is still coming even though all odds are against it probably lol

Finally received my official offer letter in the mail last Thursday for those of you who keep checking your mailbox!

 

[CoopKid]

Is WSU receptive to LOI? Or at the very least do they not look at them negatively?

 

[deleted1108356]

Did they call/email you for the A as well? I’m currently waiting to hear back

Yes, I was emailed on 10/15 that I was accepted. My portal updated immediately with the offer letter and I was able to accept it through there. But I barely just received the official physical offer letter last week 🙂

 

[neurofreak3817]

+1, complete late July and only communication I've had is emails to attend open houses and events

Uh so I just got an interview invite lmao

 

[deleted1108356]

Thanks! How long did it take for you to hear back after the interview? They said 4-6 weeks on II-day but I'm already neurotically checking my email 🤣

I interviewed 9/27 and heard back on 10/15! I think they had faster responses for those who interviewed before the October 15th date since that's the very first day they sent out acceptances. Hopefully you'll hear back soon! 🙂

Out of curiosity did it have any financial info on there or was it basically just the admission letter?

 

[Miss.Sellers]

Uh so I just got an interview invite lmao

Maybe if I post an annoyed message about also having heard nothing since my app was finished in July maybe they will send me one too!!! 🤣 contrats!

No financial info yet 🙁 Just an admissions letter + a packet about the school, the program and its features!

 

[socolas]

Just checked my portal today and it says my MCAT score is not received?? What lol it was marked as received before...

 

[jo00000]

Uh so I just got an interview invite lmao

What were your stats if you don’t mind me asking ?

 

[jo00000]

Anyone here get an interview with a less than 510 MCAT?

 

[neurofreak3817]

What were your stats if you don’t mind me asking ?

50X and 3.7X cGPA, OOS non-trad

congrats! what dates were available?

The earliest date was 1/10, but there were dates available all through January

Im glad we are finally to the 50X group! A lot of schools organize their app stack by mcat score and lower scores are reviewed/interviewed last. That doesn't mean they have a lesser chance, it just means they are considered later in the cycle. I know they have been pre II R TONS of people lately so still being in the stack at this point is a 👍

To anyone else who is in the 50X group, don't be discouraged seeing all the 51X or 52X applicants! My first three responses from schools in August/September were all IIs (MDs), and all from schools where my mcat was at or below the 25th percentile on MSAR. If you conveyed your interest in the school and medicine in general, that goes a long way 🙂

 

[tomyumsoup]

Anyone here get an interview with a less than 510 MCAT?

Me and I was invited in September

 

[yourfuturedoctor]

[ellak]

Does anyone know where to find stats on how many acceptance offers are given in total vs how many actually end up in matriculating into that entering class?

Thank you for this! Wayne seems to have a high post-interview acceptance rate which is encouraging.

I believe so! It's for the 2021 entering class, the current cycle data isn't complete yet Im assuming

Just curious, did you send a letter (intent/interest) after the WL decision?

 

[Phorse]

Interview invite today (complete 9/18, OOS)! Earliest interview was Jan 10 and there were many available slots left in January and beyond.

 

[AlmightyOZ]

Just curious, did you send a letter (intent/interest) after the WL decision?

I did not!

 

[brownboy24]

Can anyone share tips on how to prepare for the interview? I know there was a non disclosure agreement, so respecting that, can anyone give any advice or insights?

 

[blue2021]

Be prepared to reference or elaborate on any part of your application, including experiences, stats, etc. (WSU does open app, so your interviewers can review it prior to prepare, or at least will have it in front of them to ask specific questions). This is a good thing. You will be able to easily direct the conversation towards your interests. Don't stress too much about the MMIs because nothing is designed to trick you. They just want to get a feel for how you problem solve and process things.

My interview experience was very conversational, and not once did I feel "stuck," like a question was hard to answer. If you can speak comfortably about your passions and why you want to pursue medicine, you will be just fine.
