I was poking around their website and they said they got almost 3000 applicants on their first amcas download so we should all be patient!
What competencies are these?Required(Pick at least 2):
3. Please pick ONE of the competencies and describe how your background and experiences highlights the competency and prepares you for medical school.
What competencies are these?
Edit: Nevermind, I think I just found them. Or at least, in my big Word document of essays, I had copied and pasted this from somewhere:
"The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) lists 14 entry-level core competencies for medical school applicants: Service Orientation, Social Skills, Cultural Competence, Teamwork, Oral Communication, Ethical Responsibility to Self and Others, Reliability and Dependability, Resilience and Adaptability, Capacity for Improvement, Critical Thinking, Scientific Inquiry, Written Communication, Living Systems, and Human Behavior. (See AAMC webpage for full definitions using hyperlink below)"
OOS as well. And yes, I got the confirmation on Friday and the secondary today.
When they say re-application, do they mean re-applicant to Wake Forest, or re-applicant in general?
For those who haven't received a secondary, I would venture to guess there may be additional screening depending on stats. I applied last year with a much lower MCAT score and didn't receive a secondary until late August. This year, I have a highly improved MCAT score and got one on the first day. Hang in there, you should get one eventually.
Congratulations! Still none here...Secondary received!
Secondary received!
I'm sure yours is coming soon!Congratulations! Still none here...
I have a question for those who are more familiar with Wake. I am a stats/research heavy background applicant with no previous connection to wake. However, my girlfriend will be moving to the area after college. Is this something I could/should mention in the connection question? Will I be considered here? (3.9/39)

Agreed that's a pretty neurotic question... They have a ton of applicants. They aren't used to it apparently. Sit tight!Will you be considered? With a 3.9/39? I wouldn't worry too much about a possible tie to NC with those stats, I'd say they should do the trick just fine haha.
I have nearly equivocal stats and received one.I have 3.5/36 submitted over a week ago and no secondary.
Received as wellSecondary received as well!

What is worth putting as a tie to wake forest? I had a good friend who went there and I had visited and loved it. But I don't know if that really constitutes as a tie
This seems more like a troll question than a legitimate one. But I'm not saying it's not serious, it just seems absurd to worry with those grades.Agreed that's a pretty neurotic question... They have a ton of applicants. They aren't used to it apparently. Sit tight!
I applied 7/1/14 and still haven't even received a confirmation email from Wake Forest. Do you guys think they are really that backed up?
Any of you guys write 3 required essays?
Yeah, I did all 3 of the required ones. The diversity and challenge ones I just recycled from previous secondaries. The AAMC competency one required taking bits and pieces from multiple previous essays to make a coherent answer.Any of you guys write 3 required essays?
Wake Forest's directions were to choose at least 2 of the 3 required essays to answer.well they're required, so.... yes? Pretty sure everyone who submitted it wrote it.

Did you guys get an email or anything after you submitted? I submitted my secondary yesterday but didn't get any confirmatio or complete email from wake forest...
That's the day my MCAT score came in (verified long before that), and I still haven't gotten one yet. I'm really starting to worry!I was verified 7/8 and I still haven't received a secondary invite. Anyone else experience this?
I was verified July 3 and no secondary. I don't know what to think. It's still early.I was verified 7/8 and I still haven't received a secondary invite. Anyone else experience this?
