Complete mid-August? Have I been ignored/passed over? Or are apps complete around this time still being considered?
 
Does anyone from recent interviews remember what day they said we should expect to hear back regarding decisions?
 
Hi all
Is their portal used for secondaries still active? I try to log in, and I get a blank white page with "]]>]]>Empl ID ]]>]]>Application Nbr ]]>]]>Last Name ]]>"

Mine works. Occasionally I have had that screen pop up... I'd just try again later.


When this happens, I just delete the URL and re-paste it or re-click it, or however you get to it. Then it works 100% of the time. Hope this helps!

In other news, OOS complete 8/28 silence :dead:
 
Received an II on Wednesday! Was a very nice surprise to find that in my email after leaving an exam I tanked. Submitted my application/was marked complete August 28th. Also, hopefully my stats will keep the hope alive in some of y'all, since they aren't too snazzy. 3.3cGPA, 3.15sGPA, 34 MCAT, and currently in a postbacc program. Also, they were scheduling interviews for early January, so I'm sure there's plenty II spots left! Good luck everyone!!!

On a side note, my MSAR account apparently expired (ugh), does anyone know/remember what kind of numbers there are for Wake in terms of number of interviewees and number of matriculants? Or better yet, if anyone has any idea of how many acceptances they tend to extend from interviews? Cuz that would be greeeaaaaat.

Congrats! Here are the numbers from MSAR:
IS - 123 interviewed, 32 matriculated; OOS - 418 interviewed, 88 matriculated.
 
Rejected! Was complete on Aug 28. Honestly appreciate them getting back to me now rather than all the way in April. Good luck to you all!
 
I do not receive email reject yet, but "you will receive updated your status".
Anybody reject get like that???
 
Here my status in portal
"You will be receiving notification of your application status."
I do not receive any email yet, what is mean???

I have the same thing..

but no e-mail. No rejection, no II, no phone call, no letter. Soooo my curiosity just increased 10 fold.

My status still reads that my application will be reviewed continuously through the cycle and I haven't received an II or anything either. I'm guessing you'll either receive a rejection or II within the next few days. Of course, I'm just speculating here

Sorry to hear about the rejections everyone.

I was complete early August and am still under review for an interview. Fingers crossed. I'd love to visit Wake!
 
haven't been able to log into portal for weeks now.... dying of curiosity as to what's going on

Try using Internet Explorer if you've been using Google Chrome. Mine never worked on Chrome but always on IE.

tried IE, chrome, safari on my laptop, work computer & phone, none of them works lol. ill prob call the office and ask later
 
Checked the portal and saw the same thing ("You will be receiving notification of your application status."), five minutes later I get the rejection e-mail. Best of luck to everyone!
 
I think it is a safe assumption that "you will be receiving notification of your application status" is a rejection. I just got my email. I am so sorry all!

You means you got email reject after that???

I think you're logging in with the wrong link. Don't use the link in the secondary application email. Use the one in the first admissions email they sent.
 
So is "Your application is complete and will be reviewed continuously throughout the interview season." in the portal a hold status?

That has been there for me since I was marked complete, but yea seems like it is effectively a "hold"
 
Having problems logging in as well. Everyone is probably checking their statuses right now...

From a previous Wake Forest e-mail:
If you have difficulty in accessing the website, please wait a few hours and try again as there may be too many applicants trying to access the website at one time.

I was able to log in from IE on PC, make sure you're using the link from email titled "Wake Forest School of Medicine Application" not the secondary app one.

Thanks for the tip, was successful logging in after several attempts! Still under review and trying to not speculate.
 
Rejected via email, complete 8/14. Best of luck to all!
 
Got the "You will be receiving notification..." status on the portal. Dammit. I thought I was a great fit for this school!
 
Did you all have the "Your application is complete and will be reviewed continuously throughout the interview season. Interviews are by invitation from September to March. If you are invited, you will receive a e-mail or phone call to schedule an interview." message before your rejection? Trying to figure out if they do: Complete -> "Hold (as status above)" -> Reject or Complete -> Reject, or some other random variants...

Sorry for everyone that got cut loose today! Another day in the life of medschool application season... 🙄 What has helped me: business-cat.
 
also received the same status as everyone else... patiently waiting my rejection.

at least this year they rejected me in december, last year it was march lol.





received it just a minute ago..... woot -rejected
