anyone receive any scholarship info yet?
I haven't received any scholarship info yet, though I did receive an email last week to activate my wayne state email so that finaid could contact me. I think scholarships will start coming out soon, they said the first round would come out in Feb, so it may be later in the month.
 
decided to wait to send my update letter after my interview to see if I would need to (if I would get the A) got WL instead lmao so I sent a LOI early Jan. Still haven’t heard anything. Y’all think I should send my update letter now or wait til closer to april?

Any recommendations on where to live?
For housing, a lot of medical students live at the Scott at Brush Park and Studio One (by Essential Property Management). I haven't heard a lot of complaints from them, and the Scott looks very nice. I would recommend avoiding all other Essential Property Management buildings because they are very old and poorly maintained. Outside of Midtown, a lot of students live in the Lafayette Park area. I live at CCA Lafayette Park, which is about as good as it could be for the price that I pay. Lafayette Towers used to have a lot of medical students living in it, but there was a fire like a year and a half ago and the fire alarms did not go off, so a lot of my M3 friends have moved on to better buildings. I would also recommend avoiding the Lafayette Pavilion. I tried moving there as an M2, but they kept delaying my move and raising my rent. Some students also live in the surrounding suburbs (Ferndale, Royal Oak, Oak Park, and Dearborn) but I can't really recommend or disrecommend any one complex in those areas.
 
Has anyone that hasn’t heard yet, should we assume a rejection? I’d like to start preparing for next cycle, so I’d really like to know 😭

Hey, I hope your interview went well! Did they mention today is the last interview date of the cycle?
They did not mention anything about that. On their website they said they interview until feb......but I think someone on here said that they saw people reporting of interviewing with Wayne early march during last yr's cycle....
