I was interviewed in late Oct and am wait listed for this School. When is the earliest WL decisions revealed?

Is it smart to send an update letter after the interview so that it can be reviewed when adcom is making an admissions decision? Or should it be saved until later for a possible WL?

Obviously do whatever feels best for you! For what it's worth, my vote would be to send your thank you notes right after the interview and add in a sentence or two about why you think Wayne is a good match for you, but wait on the update letter. There's probably not a lot of new information this close to your interview anyway. And that way, if you are waitlisted, you can send the update later.

Okay thank you so much! To be fair I do have some pretty significant updates but I think I agree that it would be nice to have a substantial update later if I need one

If anyone has knowledge of past cycles, do those who interview in Jan receive As post-interview, or is it basically interviewing for a WL spot?
 
Anyone know when Wayne starts sending out scholarships information if you've already submitted your FAFSA?
 
I know they have insane WL movement so I wouldn't be surprised if it's a lot, but since the class is around 300 I don't think it's quite that much?
I've had over a dozen friends on the waitlist and all but 1 got off. She got into Michigan so she pulled her name from the list. It's a huge school so there's a good chance you'll get in! My old roommate got off the week before classes started.
 
Just got an invite for a tour for applicants that have already interviewed. Does anyone know if attending a tour is a way to express interest if I am currently waitlisted? I’m trying to weigh whether I can afford to fly across the country
I don’t think so. They explicitally state at the tour that they are not taking attendance and the guy who did my tour was just a student with no bearing on admissions.
 
Will there be other tours for interviewed students? The slots for January got filled pretty fast.
 
Considering applying to the 3 year MD program. Anyone have experience with the program / interviews for this program that can give some insight?
 
MSAR says 1410 interviews in total were done last year, and currently on Wayne's website it states 1257 interviews were requested. Is it time to pack up our bags and leave?🤠
I mean that means over 100 left to give out! there's still hope for sure! it's only December

I do not think that MSAR is updated. I applied to Wayne last year and recall 1700+ interviews requested with about 1500 complete
 
Anyone know when Wayne state gives out scholarship packages or does it usually come with the acceptance?
 
Does anyone know if it is recommended to have a car when starting M1?
As the previous posters said a car is recommended. As a metro Detroit native, the public transportation outside of Detroit is definitely something to be desired. A car will make your life SO much easier if you want to explore the suburbs (which have pretty diverse food scenes, as well as fun things to do, etc. to destress)

Current M3 here. A car is basically required during M3 and M4. Almost every clinical site will require you to travel to a satellite location for outpatient clinics at some point during your training.
As an M2, having a car would definitely be helpful with commuting to your CEC (continuity clinic) site, although Wayne has a limited amount of sites that you can get to without one, so if you don’t have a car they can accommodate you.
