Interesting. Their secondary is on the stricter side and prohibits the use of AI. I think the paragraphs after AI edits could trigger flags in AI detectors. Have you noticed different wording around AI usage across medical school secondaries? If schools take those policies literally, then technically any use of AI could be grounds for immediate rejection, since some words are generated by AI. What kind of AI tools do you use to get around AI detectors?

Maybe they rejected me for another reason. Man, if all schools could just reject me that swiftly, maybe I could quickly move on to another career. Enough of this: “Please complete the secondary so we can be your first rejection of the cycle.” lol

I'm sure it can't be because you used AI tools to proofread - this is permitted by AAMC and most people are doing that lol (including me).

If you copy and paste your own work from open.AI into the workspaces maybe it could get flagged. That’s why people say use a google doc as a middle man

Did anyone else get rejected from Wayne? Am I their first rejection of the cycle?

Was it like

Most people use AI for their secondaries so I don't think that is the reason you got rejected. Do you have any IA, criminal record, or very low mcat/gpa?

+1 OOS II a few days ago (strong-ish ties). LM 80

Probably red flag. Wayne doesn't reject outright for no reason.

 

[Geodon]

Aren't these covered in the primary application? Why was Wayne sending me emails and text messages asking me to submit their secondary?

Some schools screen stats to give secondaries, then start reviewing everything together when primary + secondary are submitted. So, if they did see a red flag, it might have been when your application was complete. Someone isn't being transparent here and blaming it on AI.

Wayne's website still says 317 II but maybe it's not updated yet.

I don’t think they update it day by day.

 

[saucyrabbit]

IS II this morning! Super excited because it’s the first I’ve heard back from any school and this is my top choice.

For reference I was complete 7/2. LM is 74.

Any interview help/advice is appreciated!

 

[ush02]

IS II earlier today. My hands are trembling.

Completed 8/6. LM is 73.

Any advice? I am losing my mind internally rn LOL

[saucyrabbit]

When are the interview dates?

Mid to end of September

 

[Goobing]

OOS, II received this morning. Secondary submitted on July 29.

 

[whamtigeres]

+1 oos II, submitted secondary 7/21

 

[LuckyDr2Be]

I don’t think the interview invitation count is going to go up for now on the site. I think it may be the amount of invites they will send for now and the interview invitations are going to add up to that number.

No, they just have not updated the website yet. They usually take about a week to do so.

Does Wayne State evaluated applications chronologically based on submission date? I submitted on 7/28 but have not yet heard back.

Nope. I submitted 7/11. Nothing yet. Still sooo early mate

I saw somebody else receive II in this thread on 7/29...is this a soft R? I'm not sure if they send hard R's

 

[LelouchLamperouge]

I know one person on here who interviewed already, but they’re definitely not reviewing in order

They do not review in order. They do send rejections later in the cycle, but it is still so early. Just gotta chill.

Do you know what order they do review in? How would they go through these if not chronologically?

I don’t think anyone knows, why would they tell us?

they can go based on stats, IS or OOS, or mission fits. No one knows

Oh okay thank you!!

 

[Emperor Napoleon]

Pretty sure most schools interview high stats first then later on in the cycle they start offering interviews for lower stats

I was a just a bit concerned since my LM was 74 and I saw people around that score who submitted later get IIs. But yeah who knows how they're doing it.

Comparison is the thief of joy, my friend. Go outside and travel to distract yourself while these IIs roll in

Yeah I know, I know. But like a part of me always wondering why I didn't get an II now when others are and what that means for my application. Really need to go touch some grass.

Someone from last year's cycle posted here a while ago that they were complete early July but received an II in November I believe. Things just take time. I was complete July 3rd and have not heard anything yet so I get it! They do holistic reviews so even if you don't feel super confident, don't count yourself out just yet. 😊

I wasn’t gonna hit you w/ the “touch grass” but you said it yourself!

Wayne is mission fit first, hence why you’ll see low LM getting IIs over higher
