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

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."
