Yeah...and then we find out a week later
Just interviewed Monday, and LOVED it!

I fell in love too. I was so let down later, but that is an absolutely great school (in my opinion from a limited point of view).
+1 👍
I sent my grades and an update email since the last meeting. Let's see if it did any good......
Nope nothing... they may have not even updated statuses today.
But I'm sure the major movement of the waiting list isn't until mid/late March
waitlisted....time for a letter of interest!
Anyone know when the next adcom meeting is?
They told us March 4th at my interview. Not sure if there's one before that.
Anybody have any idea what the job market situation is for Winston Salem? My wife will need a job when we move there.

So my fate is being decided tomorrow.
How long has it generally taken following the committee meeting at which you were discussed? They told us ~1 week.
I was thinking of calling maybe on the 5th to see if they would just tell me how I fared.

They have usually posted status updates on the Friday's after the meeting. I don't think it does any good calling, because they won't tell you anything over the phone about a decision...
anyone get in off the waitlist?
My fiancee is also looking for a job in the W-S area. Tell your wife to check out the website: http://www.indeed.com/
If they do it.. I think they'll do it around 3 or 4 this afternoon (change statuses)
waitlisted...ugh

I know of only one rejection post interview. They interview such a small % that I don't imagine they reject too many (aka everyone they interview is qualified for admission, so they simply waitlist a whole bunch of people and fill the class with an already great selection via the interview selection).
Guys, I was accepted off the waitlist several weeks ago, so what they tell you about it being a rolling waitlist is at least partially true. My impression is that they, unlike most schools, never have more acceptances out than spots, and only accept new people once they have open spots (this may not be entirely accurate, but the point is they don't accept a high proportion of people right away). So a waitlist is not at all necessarily a bad result from an interview. Obviously, an acceptance is much better, but I don't think anyone should interpret a waitlist as a "they don't like me" or "I have no chance" kind of situation.
LOI time, I suppose. Whether I=intent/interest is up for debate. $$$>>UAB
i called and always they tell me there has been no waitlist movement 🙁. what's the deal bearferret!
When I interviewed at Wake I specifically asked an adcom member if they over accept. The adcom member assured me that they only accept 120 students at a time and do not over accept. This is why there is such a large number of students that get accepted off of the waitlist at WFUSM compared to other school's waitlists.
hopefully there'll be some waitlist movement once the non-rolling schools send out their decisions in a couple of weeks
I hope so.
I was reading my waitlist letter. Does it mean that we have to send a letter to indicate our interest? Or just "particular interest?" Whatever that means.
I called when I was WLed and was told to email/write a letter accepting your WL position.
Thanks! I went ahead and sent an email just for the sake of expedience.
Does anyone know when the next committee meeting is?
Hey man...the admissions director I talked to the other day said waitlists really dont start moving significanly till late april.
I agree... I called also and the secretary told me that most of the movement on the waitlist is in April and May...
that would make me quite happy
*500th*

its unranked in past years...
Since Wake's orientation week is the last week of July, do they require all accepted applicants to notify them of their decision by April 15th?
That is in the applicant guide for AAMC (http://www.aamc.org/students/applying/policies/applicants.htm)
