Thanks Em1. I'm thinking I might just call them. Maybe it'll show them I'm still interested. Would you recommend calling the admissions # or calling Irene Tise?

I only called the admissions #, I don't think I have another number for them.
 
looks like everyone for Wake will be waiting until next week 😡

Called the main # and said that notification will be next week something. Have a nice LONG weekend... I guess 🙄
 
I just couldn't let this saturday go without a new post in this forum. I don't know about others..but every monday, I must admit, I get my hopes high knowing that I won't get a call. But when I do see people getting accepted..it does make me feel good - all the deserving people getting accepted.

I want to see some snow!!

It's snowing here in the mountains, Shahab, it has been all day. It's 24 degrees F, but I'm sure you won't get much in the piedmont. So even if you don't see any snow, I'm seeing some for you.

Mondays are hopeful days, I agree. And it's so great when someone posts with good news. I can't wait to hear about more acceptances in the coming months! good luck, everybody!
 
Ohio is SO cold. Come up here if you guys want snow.

Does anyone know if UNC is reviewing out of state applications yet? Haven't gotten an interview yet (or a DND letter 😳 ).

Good luck Tuesday to all you Wake people!
 
I'm OOS and was sent the secondary at the beginning of December. I think my AMCAS app was complete in mid August. I've also seen some other people post OOS UNC interviews, but I'm not completely sure.

Alot of activity.. congrats to everyone getting acceptances!

Hopefully, Wake will come through tomorrow, so good luck to everyone. :luck: :luck: :luck: :luck: :luck: :luck: :luck:

Re: Out-of-staters

When I interviewed at UNC, the admissions office said something like ~ 500 more apps were received than normal (probably most from out of state people). And yes, they were interviewing out of state people in November. It looks like it is going to be a tough year for out of state people if they have ~ 500 more to consider. Kust like the Yukon gold rush, a ton of people are applying to professional schools (law, med, pharm, nursing).

Re: DND letter

If you interviewed around Nov, then you should have probably received one. I read through last years thread, and it seems that those that did not receive the letter were eventually rejected in April. You can read last years thread if you want (I posted the link on p. 29 of this thread). I also know people at UNC who interviewed three wks before me and did not receive the letter. We will not have a definite answer on this hypothesis until April when business is finally done. The batch of DND was sent out the last week of December and received (depending on location and sent to permanent address) around Jan. 4. The next batch will probably go out Feb. I think this letter is sent out approx. 6 - 8 wks after the interview. Again, this is just a hypothesis. I wonder if they are going to send out anymore given that postage went up two cents :laugh:

Re: UNC acceptance pattern

The aforementioned influx of extra apps may have made the adcom more conservative this year. According to the data (people I have talked to), UNC has targeted primarily URM (which does not include Chinese and Japanese) and just outstanding applicants (MCAT over 36, great ECs, etc.).

If your domicile is in Wake or Mecklenburg County, you might be waiting more than people in other counties. I predict that UNC will be up to its old tricks like in undergrad admissions of "county padding." Most of the tax base and population in the state resides in Wake and Meck counties. If you look at the UNC pharmacy school admissions and undergrad admissions, you'll notice a consistent pattern for admissions by county. Bet the med school does this too. Gotta please the constituents (taxpayers!).

Great post. Looks like my chances of going to UNC are not so good.

According to stats at:

http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=51012

UNC-CH

Format: Applied Interviewed Accepted Enrolled

Out of state: 2,280 103 38 17

So out of state interviewed at UNC.. you have almost the same chance as someone interviewed for an in-state position. So if you got an interview, then good job!!

So oos applicants have only a 4.5% chance of getting a secondary/interview... great... a lot of schools have acceptance rates higher than that

Unlike you guys, I got email from Wake a long time ago. In fact, they were nice enough to let me know that I do not need to submit a secondary. I was touched. I am wondering when I will get the full scholarship package from them. Not sure why they haven't sent that already.

Good luck all. Sincerely wishing you all the best..

Do you guys know all of the dates the Wake adcom meets?

The last one was mid-december, so I'd guess about once a month. I don't know specific dates, although people who are interviewing now should have been told the date of the next one.

Sorry Em1 🙁 But on the bright side they are waitlisting a lot of people right off the bat and then accepting them in the future! There is still a lot of hope!
 
Sorry Em1. I didn't get an email today. Bad news for both of us. Maybe next time...

I guess my letter to tell express my interest in Wake was not strong enough... Good luck to everyone else!

Thanks, hpm4. Did you hear anything from Wake today?

What happens Feb. 28th?

I guess my letter to tell express my interest in Wake was not strong enough... Good luck to everyone else!

Sorry to hear about your wake rejection. I didn't know that they reject people off the waitlist before May 15th. It doesn't make sense.

I am sure better things will happen to you.

Nope....I didn't hear anything. I wonder if they made a mistake with your app though...I didn't think we could be rejected off the waitlist before 5/15. That is really terrible! Did you just get another email with a letter attachment???

Feb. 28th is when the Duke decisions are mailed out.
 
Oh wow, I didn't know you could get rejected from the waitlist either...there goes the little sense of security I had. I called and they told me that next meeting was January 25th...is that right? I thought they only met once a month...
 
shahab, thanks for saying that. I just called the Wake office, and was told that I should not have recieved that email, that I am still on the waitlist. SO, the lesson here is, if you are on Wake's waitlist and get rejected, then you need to call!
I feel like a just got grazed by a bullet!

Rock n' Roll McDonalds.. waitlisted! Now come on UNC 🙂

Also, I think that the admissions office said that Wake meets AGAIN on Jan. 25!! Good luck to everyone. UNC should hopefully be meeting on Jan. 23

OK, I did not grazed by a bullet, I got hit directly. I got another email from Wake stating that what I was told on the phone was incorrect and that I am officially rejected.
There is a new lesson, or rather an ammendment to the last lesson: if you are on the Wake waitlist, once it becomes apparent that you will not be offered admission, you will be taken off the waitlist.
I spoke to Irene Tise, and she was very nice and took time to address my application. My interview is what did it, so now I know that I have a few things to work on before duke on thursday!
Good luck everyone who is waiting for the Wake meeting on the 25th.

Sorry to hear about this.. but to tell the truth.. I think it's better to know where you stand than have to wait around (like UNC is doing to most of us). I don't think my Wake interview went that well either, so I may be next. Speed dating is hard to do :laugh:

Good luck at Duke!

Has anybody out there heard anything positive from Wake today? I only see waitlist-related updates. Nobody seeing any acceptances?
 
So sorry jwnduke. Hopefully, UNC will come through for you.

Would you mind saying how you felt your interview at Wake went at the time? Did you feel that you did well, or not?

I'm glad Wake is being upfront about it. Better to move on and learn from the experience. Wish other schools were as helpful.

Thanks everyone!

At the Wake interview, I was very nervous, and I am sure that showed. It was my first interview and I was not really ready for it when I started the first of the three; I feel like I did not "reset" myself properly after lunch and get ready to get across what I needed to. Some of the negative comments reflected this: "somewhat lacking in self confidence", "bit defensive", "too focused on the past". Walking out of the interviews, I felt I had done somewhat below average, and indeed that is how I was rated.

I do have high hopes for UNC, as I walked out of that interview day feeling that I had done as well as I could possibly do.

I agree, it is better that Wake told me now instead of let me believe I had a chance for the next few months!

I really did not mean to hijack this thread today and make it all about me, I just made the mistake of posting after each up-and-down on this strange day. Good luck everyone!
 
JWN,

Don't sweat it dude. I thought Wake was one of the more difficult places to interview simply because of their format. It doesn't really allow you to get settled into a conversation. It was my fifth interview, so I was well prepared, but if it had been my first, I'm sure my performance would have been lacking.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you out with Duke. I save all of my questions from interviews, so if you want, I can send you a list. Of course, some will be more related to my personal experiences, but they should give you a general idea of what to expect.

Thanks! I sent you a PM.
 
Hey Seilienne:

Congratulations on your UNC acceptance. I assumed most of the acceptances came on Mondays. But you got it on 01/12. Did you get a call or mail?

jwnduke - man..sucks that Wake flip-flopped like that. I know of someone (now doing residency) who got rejected post-interview from Wake and couple of months later got a letter with full scholarship offer. By that time, my friend already committed to another school which also gave her full scholarship.

See you in August at UNC?🙂

S.

Bit confused about the excessive amounts of waitlists from Wake... I recall them sharing a statistic during the admissions presentation along the lines of:

Interviewed: 550
Accepted: 260
Matriculated: 100-something

Those numbers are rounded, but they were around there... Based on this list, they're a long way from that 250-260 range

Hey, that's what this thread is for! We're all in this together, and we all go through the same kinds of ups and downs. This is the place to get support and answers to your questions. That is really tough that you were rejected, then got your hopes up, and then had them dashed again. But it's a double-edged sword because I think you do feel better since they told you. I was kind of in limbo with Wake for months until I called and found out I wasn't going to be offered a secondary. I knew my stats weren't good enough, but I still held out hope, ya know? Once I had the definitive answer, I felt surprisingly relieved.

Shahab, I know last year that some people were told of their acceptances at UNC on days other than Thursday because their adcom interviewers are usually responsible for letting them know, and if the person doesn't make the call on Monday night, then it could be any other day. Also, if the person isn't reachable on Monday night, then the caller would try back later.

Good luck, guys. It's not over until classes start in July/August (depending on your school!)! :luck:
 
hi ya'll 🙂
quick question....

does wake send out any interview invites or you just have to call them to check on ur status in order to get an interview? also.. what exactly is the top interview pool? is there like a middle interview pool and a bottom interview pool?
 
I guess you can't get them all on the first shot. I'm sorry you had such an up-and-down day, jwnduke.
