I'm trying to put my finances in order and finalize loans, etc.
Gah, for rizzle. my decision to attend WSU is pretty much going to depend on this. As an OOS student, Wayne is hella expensive.

I'll be at WSU in August, and am wondering about insurance.
I know the medical school provides it, but should I get it privately or from
the school. There are 3 plans for WSUSOM, Does anyone know the prices for these. Thanks
Interesting article about going to medical school in Michigan from the Det News:

Is there much activity regarding the WSU wait-list this late in the game? I'm still on the wait-list and hoping for the best, but I am constantly seeing the days tick past. Does much happen between now and Aug. 4th?
Should I start applying for next year..?
Hey Wayne staters, what do you think my chances are if I were to apply? I like everything I've heard about the school... I would be an OOS... My GPA is on the low end, will my MCAT make up for it?
Thanks all!

Honestly, with that MCAT you have a good chance of getting an interview as for getting in that might be a whole different matter. As you anticipate the GPA is going to hurt you.
Some of it will depend on what the circumstances that you alluded to were, how you dealt with them, your letters and your ECs.
In the grand scheme of things I would suggest that you consider some additional course work (post-bacch, masters, etc) to address the GPA issue.
However, that being said the only thing lost by appling this cycle with those numbers is possibly some $. And what is lost by not applying could be an acceptance letter (since the applicant pool is getting more competitive every year)
DrJD, i know someone that got into Wayne with a 2.7 and 35, so i think you have a good shot. Kill the interview and you will be good. And Detroit is not as bad as everyone says
I'm living in Northville for the first year so my girlfriend and I could split the driving distance for the 2 of us (she will be commuting to Ann Arbor). I guess this means I will be taking 96 in to Detroit. How long of a commute will it be? Ive heard a wide range (25-60 min) and was wondering what a realistic figure should be. How is construction these days?
Good friends of my family live in Northville and I've driven from their house to Wayne numerous times. It takes me 25-30 mins depending on how crowded traffic is on 6 mile getting to the freeway. An hour is just unrealistic, unless you head to Detroit during rush hour. It's not a bad drive at all.
From where I am, it takes between 35 minutes on a really good day (clear traffic on 96 and 94) to 50 minutes on a busy day. During the I-96 overhaul three years ago, it took over an hour...
Like I said, I'm trying to figure out what to do. I see it as wasting an hour, hour and a half each day that I could be studying with. However, how that compares with the cost difference, I'm not sure.

Does anyone know when the traffic is the worst on 75 coming from the northern suburbs? I hate rush hour traffic like i go crazy....so either i wanna wake up and leave before it even if it means waking up at like 5 am or I am hoping classes start like at 10 so i could leave at 930. If anyone has like detailed info on this stuff please let me know.
I appreciate it and cant wait to see you all in the fall
Cheifsaab out
Is anyone attending the prematriculation program starting on July 28th? Could anyone give me an idea of what the program is about? THANKS!!
is there anything else we have to do besides complete the fafsa for fin aid?
I did not even hear about this? What is it?
For all of you worried about your financial aid - call the fin aid office!
I was wondering the same thing a couple weeks ago and after one call to a very nice lady in the office, she immidiately released my package and I was good to go! I now have all 50,000+ (gulp!) in loans taken out for the year

omg livonia was too far??? my parents are practically forcing me to stay at home and make the commute from rochester hills!! O_O this sounds like it will be the death of me..
i was thinking about finding an apt in royal oak, but that's about the same distance to detroit as livonia. how long would you say the commute was from your place??
I have a question, perhaps a dumb one...
On the physical, there is a section for vaccinations, one of which is Hep C, however, I thought that there is no Hep C vaccine...Am I out of the loop or is this something that shouldn't be bothering me?
