Does anyone know how friendly Wayne may be with their WL movement?
Thanks.If you google AAMC waitlist procedures, there's a list for all schools. They have a 2024 list (idk if I can share external links).
damn seriously? They asked what is a food desert?+1! i know in previous years they’ve asked very specific questions (i.e. how does the covid vaccine work, what is a food desert, etc) would you say there were specific questions like this? how should i prep?
I didn't have any questions close to these in my interviewsdamn seriously? They asked what is a food desert?
for me they asked the difference between empathy and sympathy, what an implicit bias is. stuff like that. it is a service/community oriented school so questions on food deserts and stuff that impacts community health are important to understand. we also discussed my research experience very briefly. the student interview was a lot of "tell me a time when" type of questions so make sure you have a list of scenarios in your head and refresh your experiences. overall mine were super laid back and comfortable. the MMI I found pretty easy but the only thing is you have to like look for the prompt on the screen. Mine didn't pop up and the person was mad at me she was like "they didn't explain to you how to do it?" I was like obv not lol. the best advice is go on SDN interview feedback page, it was a lifesaver imo I read through and came up with answers and experiences for nearly all the questions reported on there and there wasn't a single question I was stumped on come interview day.+1! i know in previous years they’ve asked very specific questions (i.e. how does the covid vaccine work, what is a food desert, etc) would you say there were specific questions like this? how should i prep?

Idk if this is the case here, but folks who lie on this site and prey on people’s insecurities are horrible. Our nerves are already shot. 😔You said you got rejected in November![]()
If you mean traditional student, yes I got into Wayne as an OOS trad student. Current senior graduating in May and starting this fall.did any oos applicants who applied after their junior year, get any acceptance to wayne? doesn't have to be from just this cycle but also the one from last year too

manz really pulled up the receipt and said "dis u?"You said you got rejected in November![]()
An earlier poster said they were told the committee meets every 2 weeks. If there are none today then probably next week, but no one really knows.Anyone have any ideas of when the next wave of As will be?
congratulations! do you have any advice on how to do a successful interview with them? any specific questions they had that stumped you?OOS A 12/18/23 Interview.
Congrats Guys!!!!
wondering the same! also do we submit on portal or do we email it to them?huge congrats everyone!! For those accepted off the waitlist, did you write update letters/LOI? Is anyone aware of how strongly Wayne considers LOI/update letters for waitlisted applicants?
i did write a letter of interest and intent ! i uploaded in the portal and emailed to be safe and there did not seem to be an issue !huge congrats everyone!! For those accepted off the waitlist, did you write update letters/LOI? Is anyone aware of how strongly Wayne considers LOI/update letters for waitlisted applicants?
No it was a really calm and fun interview. Just show your passion and give examples to your answers is my best advice. Try to show what you can offer to the school asap maybe.congratulations! do you have any advice on how to do a successful interview with them? any specific questions they had that stumped you?
I did not.huge congrats everyone!! For those accepted off the waitlist, did you write update letters/LOI? Is anyone aware of how strongly Wayne considers LOI/update letters for waitlisted applicants?
I interviewed 12/1 and nothing. I'm convincing myself they just do stuff weird so I stay saneInterviewed 11/6 and have heard nothing since, should i reach out to them or be concerned?
The school mails the acceptance letter/offer packet in addition to the email? It's always fun to get the mailed letters.For those who have received the offer packet, is it just a letter? Or a box with stuff... etc.
I was WL. Sent letter of interest. Sent update letter. I was accepted off WL. Someone on here did it and got accepted and I did the same.huge congrats everyone!!

wait whats a letter of intrest? does that increase your chances of getting off the waitlist or smth?I was WL. Sent letter of interest. Sent update letter. I was accepted off WL. Someone on here did it and got accepted and I did the same.
Letter of interest indicates that you are willing or interested in Wayne. You should list the reasons why you’re interested in Wayne. Send an update letter too with what you’ve done since you submitted your secondary. That may catch their attention and pull you off WL. All the best.wait whats a letter of intrest? does that increase your chances of getting off the waitlist or smth?
I interviewed today and had an absolutely wonderful experience. In particular, the one-on-one interviewers I had were some of my favorite conversations I've had this cycle. It left a great impression on the school for me. Seriously hats off to them
Exactly how I felt today! Great vibes from fellow applicants tooI interviewed today and had an absolutely wonderful experience.

as far as winter gear, i'd recommend splurging on a nice warm winter coat, like something from a reputable brandHey current students! Any tips on wardrobes for OOS people. I’m a guy from Cali coming here in all likelihood.
not a current student but a metro-Detroit local. The best thing is have a coat for every type of weather; today its 36 degrees and rain/snow/hailing and then this weekend it's going to drop down to like 14 degrees. Today is a heavy rain jacket, the weekend will be a very warm winter coat (and if you do anything outside its best to layer so things like wearing leggings under your pants, a long sleave and sweatshirt under your coat)! In the spring it gets hot but still rains, so you'll be way too warm in a winter-type rain jacket. Also a lot of people buy ugg boots/cloth type boots but you're just going to ruin them because it gets super wet and we salt everything. Not saying you can't have them, but don't rely on them as your "winter" boots. July/August it gets 80-90 and humid. Really just be prepared for all weather, you never know what you're going to get. Detroit can be pretty windy because of the river and the big buildings create wind tunnels which tends to make it feel a bit colder. I did undergrad at Wayne and I would often have a scarf on the cold days and wrap it around most of my face/head/neck walking to class. The med campus isn't as spread out so it really isn't too awful.Hey current students! Any tips on wardrobes for OOS people. I’m a guy from Cali coming here in all likelihood.

(Also if you're going to have a car watch some videos about how to drive in the snow. It might seem silly but I have OOS friends that buy jeeps and stuff thinking they can drive in the snow, but the problem isn't getting the car going its stopping and they all get in at least one minor accident when the weather gets bad.)
Really any laptop should work! You will need to be able to run Examplify for quizzes. So if you want to see if your current laptop is capable of doing that, just google Examplify system requirements and they have everything listed on one page for both Apple and Windows. Canvas and Zoom are the only other applications we use, and those basically run on any browser/computer.what laptop should accepted students get? Should they also get an iPad? Any advice for accepted students is appreciated.
