I'm applying this cycle as well ... has only 1 person from this forum received the secondary so far?
Hey, y'all! Current postbac here. Let me know if you have any questions!
Hey Hokie luv and beautyandbrains,
How long before they send secondaries out?
...lol, im here too
to those who asked about stats, I'd suggest you not worry about the numbers so much. High stats are good of course in any application, but really focus on the essay and interview bc in my opinion they do a great job when looking beyond stats (and exceptions are made). Also, read past posts in this forum bc there is a lot of good information and your question may already have been answered
good luck
Hello.
It's too late to apply? They are being vague about the deadline; it's Nov 1 absolute?
Hey! I submitted my application yesterday and that also occured to me. I first tried to copy and paste it onto the box. Then I typed it in and both times I got those symbol mistakes. So I just submit and hope that it won't be an issue when they're reviewing it!Hello Everyone,
I recently submitted my secondary application. When I went back to review what I submitted, I found that there were symbol mistakes in place of other marks such as "’" instead of an apostrophe in the personal statement section. I did not copy and paste in this section. I actually wrote within the application for this part.
Just wondering if anyone else has this issue? Thanks.

Hello folks, I'm also applying to the post bac. My secondary has been in there since the first week of Nov, so we pretty much have to wait until March for any kind of feedback? Seems like torture lol.
Just to check....
Everyone answered these as one large essay, right? Then the "personal comments" on the next page is more geared towards specific fit to the school? I am probably spazzing out too much about this, but I'd feel more comfortable if I knew before I mash that submit button. Thank you! and
Correct.
Any updates guys?
While reading some of the previous posts, I have noticed that some of you have said that the required mcat score is a 21 with at least a 7 in each section. Now, when reviewing the actual website, it clear states that a 21 is requred, but fails to mention anything about the required score for each section. The link is provided below and it is under the section of eligibility requirements.

For those of you who asked, I believe in my year (2007-2008) they received 400 completed applications, sent out 75 secondaries, interviewed 25 and accepted 10.
Well obviously the first thing they look for is whether or not they believe that you can do the work, ie your academic record. That is often the main "screen" they use for the secondary. Once you send in that application it is more about who you are as a person. If you all read the interview feedback about Wake you will see that we do a very informal interview. Our process is all about fit, and we really try to get to know you as a person and see whether or not that person fits at Wake. It's really hard to say what they look for but if you have any more questions please drop me a line.
Good luck to you all
Nope, just crickets. I don't expect to hear anything from them till February at the earliest.
Got an update today guys, I got an interview invite! Totally had forgotten I had even applied since its been so long. Will definitely go
I got an invite too! Just got the email - I'm so excited - I'm shaking! I was complete in the first week of January
I did not call to confirm, I sent an email last week asking when we'd hear back and I was only told soon.
Not sure, I wouldn't lose hope, however, people still have to confirm their interviews, some are still waiting to hear back regarding applications to other medical schools and programs. Try contacting the office to find out your application status.ok. so i guess if we didnt hear anything that must be a bad sign. does anyone know if they are still giving out invites?
I know last year our secondary was due within two weeks of receiving it.... don't know if that has changed this year. I'm just saying if interview invites have already gone out, it is probably too late bc from what I know there is only one interview date. Just saying you should probably check that outCongratulations on all the interview invitations! I'm debating whether or not I should submit the secondary. It seems like it may be kind of late...I was trying to see if I'd hear back from a school that I interviewed at before submitting it. This is a great program, but if I could avoid the additional cost of being in school for an extra year, I'd be happy.
Thanks. They sent it to me last week and the email said I had 4 weeks from receiving it to send it back.I know last year our secondary was due within two weeks of receiving it.... don't know if that has changed this year.

Congrats on your interviews! See you all in April

Congratulations to everyone who has received an interview so far. I'm praying that I hear something soon. For those of us still waiting, remain faithful and everything will work out for the best. Good luck everyone.
