Looks like at least one program got started early this year! Keeping with last year's format (which I found extremely helpful)...

Wayne State - Email 9/18 - Interview 10/30

Good luck everyone!

Interviews will start coming in November and December, a few did come in October last year, but not many.

I know its a stressful time since most of your buddies applying to medicine have a ton of interviews.

As someone told me last year when I was in your shoes, the interviews will come, just wait....

You’ll learn very quickly that getting interviews is very random. Don’t sweat it. Most programs don’t send out invitations until after Nov 1. Check out last year’s interview offers thread.

For some time a few people posted their invitations for interviews. That began to scare some of us with not too great board scores (you can see my profile somewhere here with step 2 taken early and in the upper 250s). But then it has stopped.
Is it because these first few people were big outliers or where they very outstanding students? Or was this just a fluke and it was just these six or so programs offering interviews?
By the way, I still do not have any interviews offered except for where I did an away which is given to all rotators. Give your two cents.

Well, for one, it says unlike many other programs they actually admit they don't read your LORs before offering the interview. You'd be surprised how many programs don't read them until just before the interview. Other programs do use them for offering interviews, but it's so much easier just to set a cutoff for Step I, grades and so forth than to actually go through and read three letters from each of several hundred applicants.

I have a couple of friends at the Wayne State program, and from what I know of it if you get the interview I'd go.

What does it say about a program that interviews people with no LORs in? Highly suspect...
