It depends on staffing and what else is going on. They double check everything before anything is sent out.

July 10th is the first day of Launch Week, I think.
They tell everyone on interview day.
ETSU is changing their curriculum this year, and new students start July 17th for EC17. At the interview they said that they're doing this to open up more dedicated study time before the step exam in year 2 which I thought was a solid idea. Perhaps this is a new trend at some schools?

For anyone waiting on hearing back for interview invites, confirmation for updates, etc I think the office is running a bit behind on things because of the snow storm. I called earlier today and they said a lot of administration were off Friday and today.

Aww man, just got the rejection email 🙁 First rejection that has actually hurt.
I've been wondering the same.
I was about to call as well. Who should I make the check out to?
The email I got says "Applicants are asked to pay by check made payable to Wake Forest School of Medicine and mail to the address below."

So what's interview day like? Also do I have a good chance of staying with a med student? Interviewing in about 3 weeks or so.

It's very relaxed. There are three one on one interviews that last 20 minutes on the dot. They give an extremely detailed presentation on financial aid and whatnot since it's so expensive. They do to typical tour like every other school and provide lunch. I don't know anything about staying with a student because they were all on break the day I interviewed.

Does anyone know when they're releasing their decisions about waitlisted people? Is it rolling as well? :s
do a lot of people get waitlisted?

They don't move people off the wait list until may. They wait to see how the class shapes up following the April 30th deadline then pull people off to fill the class sometime mid May.
My friend who is OOS was accepted and their stats were MCAT: 508, sGPA: 3.7, cGPA:3.8 with great ECs.
Last time I got the email at around 3 pm... good luck!!!!!!
My email came shortly after noon (for a different month's decisions). On interview day I remember the coordinator saying something that she likes to get them out by 5pm EST on Thursday (if not earlier) but that once in a while if she's really busy, it may be later than that...even as late as Friday.
If you don't mind, what are your ec's or other stats. Thanks very much
Well I have 2 years worth of research. Wholesome shadowing experience. And a consistent volunteer record. I ultimately got rejected......so. Potentially an interview problem given the finality of their decision and my academics.
I did apply at 19 so that might have been an issue as far as perceived maturity.....
Hey sorry to hear about the bad news... but applying at 19 is pretty impressive!

it's ok as i was accepted in state
I probably also wasn't a great fit for the school. My friend's interviewer was harder but could sense that she would fit in marvelously
