They don't. Here's a list of their programs:
so is it like pity points? I was under the impression that it didn't matter at all as long as u graduate and have ur pre reqs before marticulation.
What? No. Doing well in college is the goal and mastering the material. A person doesn’t need to prove how tough they are by taking a large number of hours each semester.
😓😭
So.... they filled their class already... I'm confused. How many more people will they offer admission to? MSAR says their class size is 300 unless it is wrong? My interview is in Feb. So I am interviewing for.... not a spot? lol help
they assume some people will not accept, also class sizes vary
oh how interesting. it's all madness. 🥹
I've heard schools usually accept around 2x or more their class size. So probably still a few more outright acceptances, and pulling from WL as people drop their A's
Even though wayne doesn't have a neurosurgery program, can wayne med students still try to specialize in neurosurgery after taking steps2 and applying for residency?They don't. Here's a list of their programs:
Wayne State University sole-sponsored programs
Programs Anesthesiology Dermatology Family Medicine/Family Medicine-Urban Track Internal Medicine Otolaryngology Preventive Medicine Transitional Year Urology ERAS 2023-24 deadlines For information on the ERAS deadlines for the 2023-24 season, click here.gme.med.wayne.edu
Medical students can apply to any specialty they want. People just look for home programs for competitive specialties because it makes it easier to match.
I reached out and they provided me with more dates!
I mean, if they are interviewing you then you have a chance of acceptance, but given how many acceptances have already been given and how many interviewees are still waiting on decisions, it's pretty clear that chances are much lower at this point in the cycle
Henry Ford Hospital (one of our larger clinical affiliates) has a neurosurgery residency. While its dual affiliated with MSU, you'd still have the opportunity to do electives there. I also know several M4s who are applying to neurosurgery so its something that you can definitely do from Wayne State (or any other medical school).
Thank you for this helpful information. 🙂
Any idea if this tour for "admitted students" going to be different from the tour they had for the "interviewed students"? Maybe a current MD student can answer. Thanks.
In the past, it was the same
Thank you.
It's best to just get a parking pass (they send you a hangtag) and have it registered to the parking lot by Scott Hall (the med school) that way if you're ever in a pinch you can have definite parking. Its right across the street from both the med library, commons, and Scott and its right on Detroit Med Center (DMC) property so it's the most convenient. You can find more stuff here Welcome
Send an update letter. Include your activities especially any volunteer/service you’ve done since you interviewed or after submitting application. Did you send thank you letters?
Include ties to Michigan somehow.
I already sent a letter of intent (with updates), and made clear my continued community outreach. I also sent thank you letters to my interviewers. Is there anything else I can possibly do?
kinda late to respond lol but I took 12 credits my second semester junior year and I got an A, I think it's a non-issue
Any ties?
Yes they do. Here’s the link for information about their residencies: Hfh
what country if you dont mind me asking, just curious lol
As mentioned in the update letter, yes; a family friend received his MD from WSU, and I recounted a discussion with him
P4 is moreso an ethics-based class as opposed to a hard science class. So the exam questions follow the same pattern and the concepts in the course are more intuitive. Most people find it easier because, as long as you pay attention in the sessions and to the patterns in the practice questions, you should be able to easily approach most of the questions on the exam. So you don't need to put in too much effort to pass it.
True pass fail. You get a grade for everything and you can honor (described in my post right above this), but on your transcript, you just see a P, F, or P* (honors)
I was wondering about their #1 as well, the week you get off after the block is that week completely class/lab free or are there still mandatory things to attend?
Sorry, thought I answered that. It's a complete week off. You have 0 responsibilities during that week. They usually refrain from even unlocking the next block's canvas page so students don't feel pressure to start looking at the new material.
No you're totally fine! Wow, that's really awesome of them! So aside from like official school breaks we would also get off 3 weeks during the semester basically??
3 weeks off spread off over the full year! So one week off at the end of Sept/beginning of Oct, 1/1.5 weeks off around Christmas, and then you have a month off in March as your "summer break" between M1 and M2. In M2, we had a week off at the end of June (this was a bit longer than a week because we didn't start again until after the fourth of July), another week off at the end of Sept/beginning of Oct., and then dedicated once you finish December exams through mid-March.
Ahh got it!! So there is no summer break between M1 and M2 other than for the month of March and then we start M2 in April?
in becoming a student doctor? can you please elaborate?This is a good time to do a little research.We cover this in Becoming a Student Doctor.
Clue: I don't think the prompt does a great job defining "healthcare issues". A lot of issues can be loosely connected as healthcare issues. (If they struck out the word healthcare, that would be clearer. )
Message if you need to.

There was a bit at the beginning of January
