Question, when would be an appropriate time to send a letter of intent?

I’ve read on here that it should be after a decision is made, so essentially when you get WL

 

[granted90]

Dang I interviewed early Nov and didn’t get a decision

Man that sucks I would’ve liked to send one before a decision.

It's scary that they're accepting off waitlist now. Do we think it'll be a steady stream every thursday from now until May? Or do we think that it'll be a few here and there and a large shift in waitlist in April/May. Per MSAR, looks like about 200/600 are accepted off waitlist, so about a 1/3 chance to get pulled off the waitlist.

I've heard the movement will be slightly faster. People are saying there are fewer total applicants, but there are more individuals applying to multiple schools, leading to more individuals with multiple As, leading to faster WL movement.

For those who interviewed, just want to confirm that you sent your thank you letters through the portal, and did you receive any confirmation that they were delivered?

 

[futurehealer222]

I’m hoping they send out more acceptances rather than waitlisting people to pull them off later. Do you guys think they’ll pretty much waitlist everyone else now and start pulling them off later or will they send more straight acceptances ?

 

[Goobing]

Are there people who interviewed early this cycle and have not received a decision or been rejected post-interview? It seems to me that Wayne waitlists everyone who interviewed but was not accepted.

Last year it seemed like they waitlisted everyone who didn’t get accepted and there was a big pre II rejection in like Feb or March. I’m hoping they send out more acceptances and not waitlisting everyone.

I've heard the odds are slightly higher than reported numbers for waitlists. If you think about it, they waitlist abut half the interviews. Some people will not accept the waitlist, some people will withdraw from the waitlist after April, some people will not respond to an acceptance or not pay the deposit. This means while they do accept around 200 people off the waitlist, the 600 figure is probably more like 400-500 applicants (or lower). It doesn't mean much, but for schools like Wayne, the odds are not 0.

I interviewed Nov 7 I think and I haven’t heard anything

I think that is completely normal. I interviewed on 09/26 and had not heard anything until 11/20. I am waitlisted, though. OOS. I wish you a better outcome.

Hopefully a good outcome for us all 🥲ughh this whole process is so stressful

I believe it was Mr. Smile who said that you shouldn’t be jumping to essentially begging for marriage after the “first date”

In my interview they told me to email my letters directly to their mdadmissions email. After emailing them PDFs of the letter, they wrote back to me with a confirmation that they got it and would send it to the interviewers for me!

 

[zyndabad]

is wayne state done with interviews?

I have interview 1/9

 

[futurehealer222]

Do you guys think they’ll be sending decisions every Thursday or stay on the same third Thursday of the month schedule?

Probably third thursday still. Next wave 1/15 I imagine

 

[futurehealer222]

You think they’ll send strictly WL like last year around that time? Hoping they’ll still be sending A

They only send WLs after Christmas ?

 

[futurehealer222]

They only send WLs after Christmas ?

Last year there was one round of A in January and then they sent a bunch of WL after. I’m not 100% sure tho that’s just what people have told me

 

[bigmoose324]

If you’re sending an update or LOI, is it better to email admissions or upload it through the portal?

Upload through portal! I accidentally emailed admissions and they told me to upload it per guidelines.

 

[hi779451]

+1 OOS Withdrawal. Good luck everyone!

Thank you!

I'm hoping so. I applied late, but not horrendously late and haven't heard anything 🙁

 

[sunluvr36]

does wayne state accept pre-II letters of interest?

An update letter would be stronger

 

[HSim87]

An update letter would be stronger

would new volunteer job like food bank be good update ?

It would, substantial hours makes it better. If you’re trying to score one of the last interviews (I don’t know if they’re sending) then don’t delay it for hours would be my best bet

 

[HSim87]

I'm hoping so. I applied late, but not horrendously late and haven't heard anything 🙁

when did you complete app? i finished mine on 08/31

I submitted about a week after you, so maybe there is still hope for me.

Keeping my fingers crossed. I'm losing hope this cycle 😵

Don't stress right now. The holidays are a lull anyways for admissions

 

[futurehealer222]

Hey you guys think we’ll get any decisions this Thursday ?

Guys, are they done sending interviews invites?🥲

 

[abe420]

Interviewed 11/9, this wait is killing me

Same I can’t take it anymore loll

 

[marathoner_15]

I interviewed 8/11 and didn't hear anything until WL on 11/20, so keeping with that timeline, you've got another ~1.5 months. But I hope you get your decision faster than I did and it is an A instead of a WL!

 

[futurehealer222]

They updated the admissions tracker and so far they’ve sent out 446 acceptances! I wonder how many more they’ll send out…

Pretty sure it’s around 600-700 when looking at previous data

 

[zyndabad]

Anyone interviewing tmrw and have no info on the interview at all? Less than 12 hours until the interview… no email no links nothing…

I got my zoom link the night before for the intro session- the rest of the time, you will use the links in the AMP portal to connect to each individual interview. If you dont get anything in the next hour or so, I would email the admissions office and call if you dont hear back tomorrow
