I wouldn't necessarily shy away from downtown before giving it a good look. I've lived downtown (Lafayette Towers) throughout the 4 years of medical school and have been very happy with it. Its a < 5 minute drive to the DMC and it's in a good neighborhood. It's a 5-10 minute walk to...

University of Wisconsin-Madison, my first choice :D Congrats to all!

Case Western University of Wisconsin Beamont Oakwood Mid-Michigan Mayo-Rochester Mayo-LaCrosse :) Anyone have any first-hand experience, or know someone who does with the Mayo programs or Wisconsin?

Some of mine have just started with the interview invites...Thus far, Mayo-Rochester, Mayo-LaCrosse, U-Wisconsin, Case Western and Beaumont. Anyone have any experience with the Mayo programs in Rochester and La Crosse?

Just wondering... Have any of y'all received your financial aid award notification yet? I recently received registration information and the like, but even though they've told me that finaid info is on its way, this is getting extremely late. Anyone else beginning to wonder how the bills...

I have found a place to live...I got a studio at Lafayette Towers downtonwn...it's a nice place, and it seems that a large number of medical students live there. Plus the rent is pretty cheap. I wanted to be really close. I heard nothing about a Tiger's game...when is it? Is it something for...

After spending a little time browsing through several pages of old threads, it appeared to me that several SDNers are thinking of, or planning on attending Wayne State in the fall. I'm getting all set to go to Wayne at the start of August and thought this might be a way for those of us who...

Wayne State University gives 10 full tuition merit based scholarships annually. I didn't think any schools gave merit scholarships...and then Wayne made my decision of where to go to med school very, very easy. :D

Thanks for the response... I had everything in back in February and still nothing. It seems outrageous for them to take this long.

bump. even though I don't expect anyone to know :confused:

Allright...Wayne sure knows how to take forever with their financial aid. I still don't have a reward letter. They said they'd send it out in May or June a couple of months ago...and more recently said it would be out in June or July. So they've assured me it's coming..but this is getting...

I will be headed to Wayne State medical next year for sure. I didn't know a great deal about their program until I interviewed there. That was my first real look at the place...since, I've done alot of additional research and headed down there on a couple of other occasions. I would agree...

I saw the topic of this thread, and even though the course of the conversation has diverged from it, I thought I'd try to give a helpful response about housing. If you don't want to fly across the country to look at apartments, I'd recommend getting on the internet and using "homestore.com"...

1 interview with glasses = waitlisted 1 interview with contacts = acceptance on a full tuition scholarship. The contact lenses were key in my acceptance. In all honesty though, I fretted over the same thing--one one hand, everyone says I look older, more mature, and more like a doctor in...
