but when do they start putting people on waitlists historically? Is it in October, right alongside acceptances? is it normal that they haven't waitlisted anyone yet?

There are various ways that schools can manage their application process.
Some schools will only notify for acceptances and leave the rest to be reconsidered and compared to future people.
Some schools put you in the WL zone as they go along, and others don’t even create a WL until April

last year they did some WLs on the 17th along with As, in addition to As on the 15th. This cycle is a bit different so far so only time will tell I guess

 

[Crewmagosh]

how long does it typically take to hear back with a decision (if its an A or WL)

 

[createdlieve68]

Looks like we might have some decisions here in the next couple hours based on the last few weeks' threads.

 

[TheguythatdrivesEVs]

No spooky acceptances today

 

[pleaseaccept]

Wayne is really emphasizing the trick part of 'trick-or-treat'

Did we need to do anything after accepting our seat for admission after an A? Did anyone get a confirmation email or something?

Nope, no deposit or anything either. Once you accept the A in the portal, you should be all set

 

[Crewmagosh]

Praying we hear back this week yall

 

[dRRT78]

Praying we hear back this week yall

I hope we hear from them by Friday.

I know this has likely been asked already, but do you guys know why Wayne State hasn't sent many waitlists out this year? Apparently they normally send them out along with the acceptances.

No way to really know unless admissions says something. Could be because they’ve gotten more apps this year, but their pattern last year was different from two cycles ago, so I think changes are normal

I’m sure someone on here knows…. is this school p/f?

Do we think there is any hope for the August Interviewees? I have had radio silence 🙁

current student - your preclinical human body foundations (M1) and human disease foundations (M2) courses which encompass all the basic sciences are pass/fail by trimester, but then if you do well enough during the whole year you will be able to honor that course for the year. Last year this threshold was at 92% average I believe. Your individual exams will be given a grade but you just need a 70 overall to pass, so essentially if you were to mess up an exam and get a 65 or something you can still make it out fine! Your other courses (service learning, clinical skills, etc.) are pass/fail and cannot be "honored."

Im an OOS student so I was wondering if someone can shed light on the housing situation at Wayne State? I would appreciate it so much!!

Ok so from what I understand is that you aren’t competing against your classmates it seems? There’s no internal ranking system besides this “honoring” of courses?

I’m holding my breath for Friday.

 

[Crewmagosh]

OOS II. Submitted secondary 8/15.

My first one from an MD school. As someone older in her late 30s and with low stats, I didn't think this would happen to me. Woke up shaking and tearing up.

Grade replacement?

 

[mathwiz1697]

Grade replacement?

Yeah if you have done 20 credits post bacc or grad work, then they will treat your GPA as that GPA.

No way seriously??? I would’ve done that I had no idea lool GPA is my weak point in my app

Thats what it says on the MSAR, whether they do it or not i do not know

 

[prouddecision]

Thats what it says on the MSAR, whether they do it or not i do not know

Also on their website policies section:

"If an applicant has a less than competitive GPA, the Admissions Committee recommends 20 credits of coursework in didactic science (BCPM) either as a post-bachelor student or in a graduate program before application. If an applicant has 20 credits of coursework in didactic science (BCPM) either as a post-bachelor or graduate student on the transcript when they apply, the Committee will consider that science GPA instead of the undergraduate science GPA. The Committee is looking for a strong science GPA as evidence that an applicant can be successful in medical school."

 

[saran_wrap]

+1 OOS II, complete on 08/06

 

[FutureDoc1014]

+1 OOS II, complete on 08/06

congrats! did you just receive that now?

 

[dRRT78]

looks like they're doing some pre-II rejections on a rolling basis per admit. I wonder if I'll hear any decision back soon, given that I interviewed about a month and a week ago.

Hopefully we’ll hear something tomorrow. Praying
