Is anyone else unable to access the portal once they have submitted their secondary? Most schools have a status page where you can see what the school has received and what remains, but I can't seem to find anything like that on WFSM's portal.
There are two separate links, the very first one sent via email is for status check, the other link is just to complete the secondary.
I just received the same email and I was thinking the same thing! Hopefully a secondary application is soon to follow, I'm extremely excited to hear back from Wake. Best of luck to everybody!Got the "application received" email just now at 9:15PM central time...either it is automated or they have some dedicated staff over at Wake Forest haha

I was beginning to think that I was screened out. Got the application received email yesterday.
Just got secondary! Got the application received email last night. As my only school that screens intensely I'm considering this a mini victory lol

When was your primary verified? I also received that email last night and I'm wondering if I should be expecting a secondary soon. I wasn't verified until July 21st thoughreceived secondary just now-- also got 'primary received' yesterday.. hoping to crank this one out fast!
Took me about 3 weeks. I wrote them an email and got a reply that it usually takes them 2-3 weeks after they receive your primary to send you the secondary.Hey y'all,
I was wondering how long it took y'all to get a secondary from here? I was verified on the 23rd of July and am still waiting... =(
For the optional question about ties to North Carolina, can I talk about close uncle/aunt in Chapel Hill, and expand a little bit on how close I am with them? Or would this be a stretch and I shouldn't include this?

Got mine today, was verified 7/16.
What is the screen based on? How flattered should I feel? 😛
About 25% of applicants get secondaries so I it definitely is something good! And I don't think it is based on something discrete. I think they look at a good amount of the application as a whole.
Really? That's awesome if that's true. Where did you get that number?
This was in the e-mail for the secondary invite:Ugh I just reviewed my already submitted secondary and realized that all apostrophes and quotes have been marked as '?' instead. I can't remember if it was this thread or another school but do you think Wake is aware of the formatting issue? It showed up fine when I copied and pasted prior to submitting and I just noticed it on my app now 🙁
The number of secondaries sent is higher than 25%.This is from the second post on this thread. I swore someone came on more recently and gave exact numbers (I think pathdocmd did but I cannot find the post)
Q: Does Wake screen applications pre-secondary? How many students make it to each stage of the application process?
A: I don’t have the exact numbers in front of me, so please don’t quote me on these numbers – I’m going to estimate. Wake receives over 8,000 applications each year, and roughly 2000-2500 students receive secondary applications. From these group of applicants that complete secondaries, we interview around 500-600 applicants. From the 500-600 who interview here, roughly 250 will go on to be accepted.
The number of secondaries sent is higher than 25%.
Around 30-40% I guess then.The number of secondaries sent is higher than 25%.
+1Just got an e-mail saying I was complete. I believe I submitted my secondary 7/23.
I don't think I got anything after I submitted my secondary but I did get an email telling me that I was complete.After submitting the secondary, we shouldn't expect a 'secondary recieved' email, right? I hate not getting any confirmations :/
DREAM SCHOOL. Received the secondary this morning, better believe it will be submitted by tonight! Anyone else just LOVE the idea of Wake Forest SOM?
You could repeat your primary, but remember that med schools get 1000's of applications each year. Would you want to waste their time by repeating yourself? There are 15 competencies in that list, I'm sure that you can come up with something new . And the fact that they give you 400 words means you could describe a specific scenario from an activity on your AMCAS that's not previously stated 🙂
