Members don't see this ad.

Are you talking about WF? My friend told me it was roughly 1/3 last year.

Only about a thrid get secondaries? Damn. How many people with secondaries get an interview?

That's a good thing, IMO. The steeper the secondary screens, the less money you'll waste.

How do you know when you get a secondary? They said they will e-mail you it? I checked the status thing but got confused

On the status page, they will usually say something like "You will be receiving the secondary via email soon, please allow 2 weeks".

When you finally receive the email about the secondary, WF provides a link for you to complete it.

I've been under review for too damn long.

Ah okay, i think thats what it says

I think it is a really good thing, especially considering I will be getting the secondary. In fact, if I am getting the secondary I would prefer if they only gave it to people getting interviews.

I've been under review for too damn long.

I don't understand why they are keeping you under review, but on the bright side "under review" is not rejected. You will be changed to receiving secondary soon enough.

Idk. Whatever. Had a bad night, this whole thing never helps. Sorry.

 

[JJMrK]

Apparently I'm getting this secondary.

You rock man.

From looking at last year's post, it looks like we may start receiving this one next week!!!

 

[derArzt]

Last year's secondary requested answers of only 3-4 sentences. I hope I can get my point across in so little... but it's nice to have a shorter one.

I just did one like that for Louisville, and it actually was kind of nice.

Is it bad that I've compulsively checked my status so many times that I've memorized my EmplID and my application ID?

Yes... unless it still says under review, then I do not blame you.

 

[rockaction]

That's impressive! I haven't even memorized my AMCAS ID yet (though so many schools have you log into secondaries with it).

To stay organized, I have an email I send to myself in my gmail inbox that I update with every new secondary I get with the login information. Copy/pasta!

 

[ksmi117]

I just copy and paste. But it'd be easier if I just memorized them.

 

[Aggro]

I'm still under review, yea.

I also have my AMCAS ID memorized. This has got to stop.

 

[SportingMD54]

I have the AMCAS ID memorized, but that one goes on a ton of applications. Yeah thankfully I got my status changed or I would be checking it a ton of times too. We would overload the server 🙂

 

[lrkoehle]

AMCAS ID makes sense to memorize. I have mine memorized. It saves time.

I think Wake forgot about us. 🙁

 

[BlueElmo]

I have memorized my AMCAS ID, my credit card number, date of expiration, and CCS number. 👍

Pfff. I don't believe you. Post them from memory. Now.

🤣

 

[BlueElmo]

No, I really did memorize them. Hard to believe, I know, but true.

 

[dr zaius]

I think Wake forgot about us. 🙁

I don't feel nearly as bad about being under review knowing that you are, too. You bring me hope.

 

[RRTinCO]

Updated today, Looks like I'm getting it too 👍

 

[kayakingaddict]

Me too! I don't like being left out of the party. 🙁

Can someone please post the essay and word/character limit for Wake Forest? Thank you!🙂

Secondary isn't out yet... you can check the 2008-2009 thread if you want to see last year's application though.

 

[JJMrK]

Nobody's got it yet; some people have only been approved to get it.

 

[Steeler7588]

lol sounds like people screened in = less than uber

If you say so.

 

[BlueElmo]

If you say so.

We're uber cool, though, right?

 

[JJMrK]

I don't have a 40, if that's what you mean.

 

[propel1]

Hahahaha 👍

 

[AyCaramba]

I'm getting a secondary!
I last checked around 9 or 10 this morning, so they've updated between then and around right now.

 

[Aggro]

I haven't heard a damn thing from WFU yet. It's making me really sad. I submitted my app on the 30th and had been verified before that 🙁

 

[caniac]

checked my status this morning -- getting a secondary!

"Your AMCAS application has been evaluated and we are sending you our secondary application by e-mail. Please allow 2 weeks for the application to be sent to you as we send them out in batches."

I thought they were snail mailing them earlier? Also, I'm in-state. Do y'all think that makes a difference for WF? I didn't think so, but I'm not sure...

 

[ksmi117]

Totally feel you. I submitted and was verified on June 2nd. This waiting game sucks.

 

[Appless]

at least you didnt get the rejected one like i got 😉

 

[Steeler7588]

I think an applicant's proximity to NC plays a significant role, especially for those with very competitive numbers. Just hold tight, guys!

 

[BlueElmo]

I want the secondary already. What's holding them so long?

 

[lrkoehle]

Who knows. Wasn't last year's secondary pretty easy?

 

[SportingMD54]

Who knows. Wasn't last year's secondary pretty easy?

I am pretty sure that it was just a 4-5 sentence answer question and an additional comments question.

 

[neelson88]

yeah and what is the deal with sending secondaries in batches? that kinda implies it's snail mail right? wouldn't make sense to send out batches of emails...

 

[nick_carraway]

UIC's tech guy says they send out batches of 200 to prevent applicants from bringing down the servers. <shrug>

 

[neelson88]

weird... but good to know, thanks!

 

[SportingMD54]

Well, it is between 1-2 weeks since my status changed... where is that secondary?

They're waiting for me to finish up the last secondary I still have before they send it out. They don't want me to get bogged down with multiple secondaries in my possession. Sorry for holding up the secondaries...

Wake loves its applicants this much
