I’m also curious on what the cultural diversity is on the different campuses, including the Arab/muslim community. Is there somewhere I can learn about the different background represented on each campus?
I hope that means maybe more IIs??
The EL campus has a very strong Muslim/Arab community in general that is largely represented by the undergraduate student body, and a there is great representation in the medical school as well. The Detroit campus is obviously smaller so there might be relatively the same proportion of representation but much smaller numbers, though wayne state and the city of Detroit itself has a verryyy strong representation and plenty of halal food options (including in Mexican, African, American, Asian, cuisines) and even more than EL (not as many options there). The Detroit campus is also a 20 minute drive from Dearborn which has the largest Arab community in North America, so you definitely won't feel out of place. Macomb is less diverse from my understanding, but don't quote me on that.
Admissions said there should be another decision wave before break so hopefully we'll hear something this week. Looking at last year's thread, those who interviewed in mid November didn't find out until Jan 20th and I hope that's not the case because my poor lil heart just couldn't handle that lol
They only accept letters through the application portal
i just submitted it through the application portal, do you think it would be appropriate to contact them to at least make sure they know its there? I just want to make sure it doesn't go unnoticed
Personally, I would not. If you submit it in your portal then I assume it will be added to your application file. They wouldn't have that feature available if they didn't expect you to send updates through the portal.
Be yourself and review your application (because it’s a closed interview). This was my favorite interview so far, good luck!
Congrats! I interviewed 11/14 and haven't heard anything 😕. Did you get a call?
For me it was super laid back and relaxing. I had a great convo with my interviewer she was super cool, so I wasn't nervous at all. Like someone else said it is closed file so make sure you have some strengths to point out fresh in your mind. Also, I went on the SDN interview feedback page and found it SO helpful to get some responses/examples prepared. I went through practically all the questions people had listed on there. TBH I did this for all my interviews and found it really helpful.

so far it seems like just the November people. fingers crossed by the end of the week but I have accepted that early December will probably be after the new year :'(
I was told you are able to change site selection once after initial choice.
hi thanks for the reply. did you call and ask or did it say this somewhere on the portal ?
When I got my acceptance call we talked about site selection and she mentioned that you are able to switch it once
Yes, all you have to do it make it to the 30 minute interview.
I havent heard back either... I just sent an update on 1/1 but still no interview request 🙁
