premed11 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 For those prospective WSU applicants next year, this is my stats: cGPA: 3.375 (3.0 -> 2.6 -> 4.0 -> 3.9) If cGPA includes Grad GPA as well, then it becomes: 3.5 (grad GPA -> 4.0) MCAT: 12-11-11-S (34S) I submitted my secondaries in late September, interviewed at the end of October, and was accepted in the middle of December. As for paying for WSU tuition...yes it is incredibly large, but there are plenty of CDNs who go to Wayne State now, maybe they can share how they paid for it. I'm hoping CDN school works out for me, but ultimately it is nice to know that I have a seat at an American school, and to know so early! American schools are a far better option than Carribbean, Australian or European schools, if your ultimate goal is to practice in Canada (compete in the same pool as Canadian grads, so long as you are a Canadian yourself) or the States. Hey, Thx for your input! Your undergrad GPA is on the low side but you have killer (and balanced) MCAT score. Congrats on WSU! And yea, I bet it is comforting to have a spot in a North American school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

token Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hey Dayne. That's why a big number of students DON'T live in foggy bottom. I talked to a few that lived in Dupont circle but even though its far they said the metro is so good that it isn't really an issue. Btw, its seems so funny that a few of us interviewed at GW and all of us got waitlisted. I know of another that got the WL too. I wonder if they were ever serious about accepting us, but then again why would they interview us in the first place if they weren't. I'm guessing they just have a hangup about Canadians using the US as a backup. Makes sense that they just waitlisted all of you. If you were still interested in GW after May 15th they would feel more comfortable that you're not just going to ditch them for a Canadian school.

Dayne67 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Alastriss,the funny thing is that I also interviewed with them last year. And they obviously waitlisted me back then as well. I think that they are incredibly selective of the Canadian interviewees that they want to accept. I was told by students that were supposedly two "very bright" Canadians that got in last year. It's really hard to say. But I decided to check to see if there are any Canadians that got accepted this cycle so far on their facebook group. I found that despite their being like 125 profiles in that group, none of them are Canadian thus far.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

token Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Well maybe you're onto something here token, considering my first question after the small talk about my flight from Toronto was "So you are leaving Canada for US - why?". lol, if I got that question within the first 5 minutes of an interview I just KNEW it wasn't going to end well.

Riskbreaker Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Well, I will be withdrawing my acceptance from Wayne State as of tomorrow. I was interviewed back in October of last year, and I received my acceptance a month later. I will be accepting an offer from Georgetown in Washington, DC in the meantime. Good luck to all of you who are still on the waitlist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonsense-Poopypants Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 When is is open to apply to Wayne State for the next year? Has it already opened this summer? I know they have rolling admission but I can't seem to find when I can apply. I will really appreciate any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riskbreaker Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 From Wayne State SOM website: Application and Acceptance Policies for 2009-2010 First-year Class * Filing of AMCAS application: http://www.aamc.org Earliest date: June 4, 2009 Latest date: Dec. 15, 2009 * Oldest MCAT scores considered: 2006 * Acceptance notice to regular applicants: Earliest date: Oct. 21, 2009 Latest date: varies * Applicant’s response to acceptance offer: Maximum time: 3 weeks * Requests for deferred entrance considered: Yes * Deposit to hold place in class (applied to tuition): $50, due with response to acceptance offer - nonrefundable * Starting date: August 2010 So, get your primary done by June or July. If you pass the screen, you should receive Wayne's secondary in a matter of weeks, and then hopefully an interview. I had my primary complete in August, my secondary done by September, and I received my interview (for October) within a matter of days. So, I wouldn't worry too much about getting your primary completed super early, but definitely before the end of August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, I think you may have gotten my spot, as I just confirmed my withdrawal with the admissions office the same morning! Anyways, as stated above, they do "consider" deferred entrances, but I have no idea what list of criteria that entails. Give them a call! --> (313)577-1466 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AP_gooner Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 has any Canadian got into Wayne with a sub-30 MCAT ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Journey Man Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 has any Canadian got into Wayne with a sub-30 MCAT ??? I think somebody couple years ago got in with a 29. He most likely had a very good PS, LOCs and GPA to go in hand. 29 is on the low side. I think more than the total score, distribution is important. So try to have 10 or above in each section - you should be good then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED527 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Anyone already bought 59275K USD, yet? I think I'm going to give in and buy it tomorrow or Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've mentioned this before, but use Sallie Mae TuitionPay to pay for tuition. Though I guess you only get special rates for $50k+, so you'll have to convert a big amount eventually.

ED527 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Yup, I'll definitely be using Sallie Mae TuitonPay. I'm just going to exchange the cash I have right now as the exchange rate is favorable. TuitionPay will come be extremely handy when I start using my LoC for tuition.

token Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 If say I get interviewd in October, and get accepted in December, is it true I would only have 3 weeks to confirm the acceptance? What If I want to wait on the Canadian schools, that dont release till May????? You have 3 weeks to confirm you want to hold the acceptance, but you can still withdraw at any time until May 15th of the next year. After that if you withdraw you'll just lose your deposit, but you'll always have the choice of dropping it for a Canadian school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
