Hey guys,

my primary was submitted earlier this week but still no email from wake confirming that they have received any thing. How long did the initial email take?

its currently peak time for wake now so it might take much longer than what was said earlier.

You won't hear anything from WF until your primary is verified. Even then it might take a couple of weeks.

do you guys think, as an OOS applicant, it'd be beneficial for me to describe my ties to NC in the additional comments part of the secondary? (they are that my boyfriend's entire family lives in Raleigh, and we would like to ultimately end up as close as possible...) or since it's private does it not so much matter and should I focus on the merits of the school itself? thanks for your input

So, it has been one week since a lot of us received the "Your application is complete. Interviews are by invitation from September to March. If you are invited, you will receive a e-mail or phone call to schedule an interview." status update.

I still have it- did anyone else see a status change yet?

Wake Forest specifically says on their website that they consider state of residence when deciding on admissions, so obviously that sort of thing matters to them.

However, and this might just be me... but I always worry about being discriminated against on the basis of marital/family plans, so... maybe I'm totally paranoid. But if it was me, I would carefully consider before saying anything about making decisions on the basis of your boyfriend. Sorry if I sound totally nuts!

Check your status in the link provided in the e-mail. If your status eventually says "a secondary application has been sent to you" through e-mail you passed their screening. If it says anything else, you didn't pass the screening.

It took two weeks for them to email me saying that they'd received my primary. My status changed to saying I was getting the secondary within 12 hours though.

Your application is complete. You are invited to call and set up an interview with us at your convenience.

They don't screen solely on numbers...it's a holistic screen. One applicant a few pages back had a 35+ MCAT and got screened out, so you can't always tell based on stats unfortunately.

Sorry about the rejection, but I agree with you. Last year I received a secondary application from a school before my AMCAS was even verified, (before my MCAT was even scored), only to be rejected less than 24 hours after paying the secondary fee. I know they did not read my secondary application in that time, they could've at least tried to appear as if they were interested in something other than taking my money.

I got an interview invite this morning! I wasn't really expecting to get an interview here, to be honest, but I am pumped. This is my first MD interview.

I haven't called to set it up yet. For others who already have interviews, what month are they starting interviews in? How far out can you schedule?

Thanks!

They start the first week of Sept. And are Monday through Friday with none on Thursday.
Good luck.

For those of you who were screened out, where you OOS? I'm an OOSer and am just curious.

Yeah, I know that Wake Forest prefers IS but compared to state schools they are pretty liberal with their admissions, I think. I'm hopeful!

Congrats to those with interviews!

Would you mind posting stats if you don't have an mdapps? So far, it looks like only 35+ MCAT people have been invited.

Do they tell us if we got rejected pre-secondary or do they just never say anything?

You'll get a status change that says something like "check your e-mail" and then your e-mail will tell you you're rejected.

So, I'm currently working on the personal comments section, in which I'm telling Wake how I think they're sexy, and also how we'd be even sexier together...without using the word "sexy."
