My status says that my application is under active consideration (I'm on the wait list). Does this mean that those applicants on the wait list are reviewed at each committee meeting?
Interviewed towards the end of September. OOS (AZ), 4.0, 32. Loved everything about the school and Winston-Salem seems like it would be a great place to live.

This wait is killing me! I've wanted to go to Wake Med since I was 14. Went there for undergrad and loved it even more. Right now, im stuck in florida but there's no where else id rather be than winston. If I could just receive an interview I could demonstrate my potential and abilities.
APV, I sent in a pre interview LOI. I think they're pretty receptive, but i'm still waiting haha. my colleague is a first year and said that she sent in three updates throughout the process before being waitlisted and subsequently accepted.

what are people's thoughts on sending a combined update letter/letter of intent post interview? fell in love with the school during my interview day and want to seal the deal. it can't hurt right? also, is combining the update/LOI odd?
I think a fancy dinner and a diamond ring works the best....
Wait listed. Just checked my status online. Very disappointed as this was one of my top choices. Will definitely be sending LOI!!
Just accepted!!!! I don't know what to do with myself, good luck to everyone still in the process!
Sounds OK to me.
Totally fine if not preferable to combine
What do you guys think is the recommended wait time between letters of interest? My application was noted as complete on Oct 1st and since then I have sent in two letters of interest (with no ii yet). I would love the opportunity to come and see this school but I don't want to be considered a bother to the admission committee!

I think you might be overdoing it if this is your third letter of interest in just over a month
haha just two. I sent in the second one a few days ago so it was about three weeks in between each. but advice duly noted! Will try to relax for a little while...
I read somewhere on SDN that you should generally wait at least a month after your application is complete before sending an update / letter of interest. Also, a wait list letter I received mentioned that it was appropriate to update them every 5-6 weeks (I would assume this is also appropriate pre-interview invite). Just my two cents, but those are the guidelines I've been following.
thank you!
Withdrew from Wake Forest after II. Good luck to the person who receives the II now. Seems like a great school.
Any II recently? Dying of anticipation over here! (please include complete date!)
My decision was available on the status page about 15 minutes before I received the email. Good luck, think positive.
What time is the interview day over? Trying to book a flight.
I received the complete email 9/24.... and then nothing. The silence from here is making me sad.
Is there anyone else with silence? Anyone who has called or sent an update with a II as a result? I am tempted to call as someone wrote about in this thread previously, but am not sure what to say without sounding annoying...

Give it a shot! I sent an ITA/update email last month and got an II shortly after.

my stats are almost identical and i was an alum...why haven't i received an ii?!?!?! im dying.
For my interview they met last night and said we would have a decision Monday!
Yes, that is correct. It should be in the afternoon on Monday.
Complete 10/22 and still haven't heard anything back:/ Seems like a lot of people are in the same boat.
They meet on wednesdays and the decisions are released on the following monday usually
Do they also discuss the next batch of II at the same meeting?
Am I the only one who has been complete since July and not heard a peep?
Nope me too.
Seems like Wake must be very different from other schools because other schools have showed us love (we both got a fair number of interviews and you've been accepted already).

Agreed, I sent an update as well, and I've actually worked at their hospital there. I loved Winston-Salem!
have a Duke interview coming up, was thinking of sending an ITA to wake... should I just vaguely say I have another interview in the area or should I name the school? What is the standard protocol?
also, it looks like Wake interviews M/W/F can anyone confirm/deny? My Duke interview is on a Monday so Tuesdays would be perfect but ofc I'm not gonna be picky haha

I personally do not believe that they can look at you badly for interviewing at another competitive school in the area. I would say where. I would also give them as much notice as possible and know it may not get a response...
