2014-2015 Wake Forest University Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I think doing all 3 should be fine, especially since the prompt says choose at least 2 of the 3.

This is correct - Answering all three questions is just fine. I responded to all three prompts and I'll be starting classes on August 11th. 🙂

To those still waiting for secondaries, don't worry! I'm sure the admissions team is just inundated and haven't gotten around to sending you the application yet.
 
OOS with a 30 mcat and very average GPA and I got my secondary on 7/15. My brother did his residency at Wake so I'm hoping thats enough of a connection.

OOS with 33 MCAT and avgish GPA, above avg. Science GPA. I got the secondary 7/15 as well.
Is there a screening process pre-secondary here?
 
Aha! Didn't see the at least either .... Maybe I should pay attention more ... I was too in the zone. :ninja:
 
Would spending a few summers at my uncles house count as a strong tie? or should I just leave the response blank.?


EDIT: Im going to go with no...

I did something similar. I think I'm going to go with no as well...
 
OOS, no secondary yet. 3.6 and 33 MCAT so I'm hoping it comes soon.
No secondary here either. By the way, I have been meaning to comment that the black Krim is one of my absolute favorite tomatoes! They are not too hard to grow and they are so tasty.

I was considering mentioning that Tim Duncan is one of my favorite players. Do you think that would be a fun/appropriate thing to write for the connection to NC? haha

haha yes, im gonna go with that as well
 
Submitted! Went to college in NC for two years, and I'd love to have the chance to move back.
 
Has anyone that had their amcas verified in july received a secondary?
 
Added wake on 7/10, still no communication whatsoever from them. Not complaining considering how swamped I am with secondaries right now...
I'm actually ready for another, and I've pre-written this one, so I'm really getting antsy. Come on, WF! Send me stuff and let me make my case!
 
I also received the "complete" email today.
 
I was in this morning's complete batch too, good luck everyone!
 
Someone mentioned that the deadline for Wake's secondary changed from 1 week to 3 weeks. Did they send out an email about that? Or post on their site? I had to leave town on a family emergency and wasn't able to submit within a week!
 
my secondary invite just says: "The deadline for submitting the secondary application is three weeks from the date of this e-mail message. "
 
When did you apply? I added Wake on July 10th and haven't gotten anything from them.

I was verified on 7/3 and they were part of my initial group of schools. I'm thinking that I may have a silent rejection.

If you got yours in the first batch then it said one week. They sent out another email a few hours later saying it was three. I assume they changed it in the rest of the batches to just say 3 weeks. Either way you should be good!

I was part of the first batch of secondaries, and they said one week in the original email and then sent a second email correcting it to three weeks. You can definitely still submit!

Same here.. verified 7/1.. 🤔
Well.. at least I got other secondaries to do.
And I think it's better to be rejected now than post-secondary..
 
ohhh nooo no non-science rec...i guess i cant apply here anymore🙁

I don't recall getting an application received email. I think you are good to go if you are verified. I would just wait it out. I was verified on 6/27 for reference.

No, I haven't heard anything back from wake forest.. I almost forgot that I applied to this school..
 
for the choose one competency question, did you guys specifically say what competency you chose? Or did you just write and hope that its apparent to the reader

I explicitly said which one in the essay. With the amount of things that the committees have to read, I doubt they want to do any mental gymnastics.
