Are IIs still being given out at this point, or is the season pretty much over?

Think IIs are done at this point. All spots should be full and you may receive an II if someone cancels. However I think the last week of interviews is either this week or next (someone correct me if I am wrong). Therefore the window is nearing its close. Send a letter of interest if you haven't already. Might be too late, but might as well play all your cards now.

I've thought about writing an LOI, but I'm guessing it wouldn't do much at this point. Would prefer to stay in NC, but I should probably just be thankful for what I've got!

If you have the time right now I would just craft a quick LOI. It can't hurt you at this point and might be helpful.

How long did it take for you guys to get a packet with all the acceptance information after we accepted the admissions offer? I was accepted on 2/14, and I still haven't received an official packet with information on how to proceed.

I never received an official packet with acceptance information. All I got was the acceptance letter and then a confirmation that my payment had been received. Anyone else?

I'm sorry for freaking anyone out with my comment. I actually called the admissions office and they said that they don't send out the packet (as an email) until later.
 
There was one last wednesday but decisions haven't been released yet. The grand majority of waitlist movement won't occur until May
 
Anyone else not able to get to the status page? Its been like this for a few days for me... Hope this is not a bad sign :scared:

it's been like that for a couple weeks now. as someone mentioned, they are upgrading their computer system - not sure when to expect it to be back up though.

For some reason, I have the date of April 15th in my head.

Admissions Process
By the end of April, all applicants are notified of the action of the Committee on Admissions: acceptance, placement on the waiting list or rejection. Those on the waiting list are considered for vacancies as accepted applicants withdraw; this list is maintained until school begins. An applicant who is accepted is asked to respond in writing within two weeks. Upon acceptance of a medical application offer, a holding place fee must be submitted before the student becomes a member of the medical center team at Wake Forest Baptist. This fee, which is credited toward tuition, is refundable until May 1.

Darn it. Same here. Are they waitlisting pretty much everyone post interview at this point? Or are some people still getting accepted after their interview?
 
According to what they said at the interview, their class would not be filled until all interviews were complete and every applicant had been reviewed. Assuming that was in fact true, *someone* from the last week of interviews should have been accepted.

Are there any more committee meetings? How often do they look at the alternate list after all meetings are done?
 
thanks. my interview went really well, i felt good about it. but it seemed that everyone who interviewed on my day felt that way. i'm in-state, 3.7/35

my best advice is to write the admissions committee a letter if you haven't, they seem to like those. i sent one

Who specifically did you send it to?
 
Addressed it to Dr. David Grier (he signed the alternate list letter) and sent it to Irene Tise as an attached PDF asking her to forward it to the AdCom.

Does Irene Tise have her own email or was sending it to medadmit@wakehealth ok?
 
When is a good time to send a LOI after a waitlist? I don't think there are any more committee meetings, so will my file get looked at before May 15th? I have also read from past threads that those placed on alternate list late in the cycle have little chance of getting off. Can anyone offer insight into this, would be greatly appreciated?
 
Got the financial aid "offer" from Wake for full price of attendance in loans

"I ain't gonna be part of your system!"

Got an email about it. Makes me wonder where all the alleged merit scholarships went if people who are accepted to Hopkins (another poster, not me) aren't getting them...
 
Also got nothing but loans...

On an unrelated note, does Wake Forest care what classes I take my last term of undergrad? I.e. what if they all happen to be P/NP? I've taken all the requirements already....

There is a list of the scholarships they offer somewhere out there...a lot of them are reserved for NC residents or students who are pursuing a particular specialty. I'm OOS and didn't indicate a specialty on my need access form...but I was still hopeful I might get something.

Are we sure the scholarship recipients don't get announced at a later date?
