Did anyone's status change from "Submitted" prior to receiving II?
Thank you so much... that pic also made my day haha thanks!View attachment 238710
Its way to early for that. You’re going to drive yourself crazy. Don’t do it. You have a good LizzyM. Stay the course. Also to go off of milgauss: the adcom also said in last year's thread, you could have been selected for an interview today but won't be notified until January. They review and re-review during the application cycle.
Stats?Just got an II!!!! First one!!!!
I am a OOS and a ORM with a very low LizzyM of 67-68 bc of my low MCAT score(slightly<510). Apply early and find ways to make yourself stand out - my MCAT is below Wake's avg.Stats?
When did you submit?I am a OOS and a ORM with a very low LizzyM of 67-68 bc of my low MCAT score(slightly<510). Apply early and find ways to make yourself stand out - my MCAT is below Wake's avg.
Submitted early July but committee letter didn’t come in till end of JulyWhen did you submit?
I submitted on July 8th-10th and have a similar LM so was curious.Submitted early July but committee letter didn’t come in till end of July
I am not a fan of this system lolThe adcom on here said they download the apps in bunches so they don’t neccesarily get reviewed in order. Definitely shouldnt lose hope it’s only the first day they’ve sent out II
Thank you so much for posting this . This is so me - I submitted the secondary the very first day of the cycle .... and still NOTHING ... drives me crazyDon't lose hope if you don't get an II early on. I submitted my primary within the first minute of AMCAS opening, turned around my secondary to Wake within 12 hours of getting it in early July, got my II in January, and here I am in the student lounge studying for our first exam next week. Trust the process.
On a side note, from my perspective, Wake has done an amazing job of assembling a class full of diverse and interesting people. Every single person in our class is unique and amazing, so try to highlight things in your secondary that make you stand out. Good luck everyone!
Yes, it does not matter (much) when you submitted your application.Don't lose hope if you don't get an II early on.

Do they just get sent in batches to screeners that have a deadline when to have them in? So 2 apps could be like 2 months apart, get sent to the same screener, and they then submit all their decisions on the due date.Yes, it does not matter (much) when you submitted your application.
The batches come from AMCAS. The largest are >1000. They get sorted, secondaries sent, returned, sent to the faculty members to screen (some are faster than others), put into pools, people are taken out the pools and invited. So...there is a lot of mixing. Someone that got their materials in in July can be called in January or later.Do they just get sent in batches to screeners that have a deadline when to have them in?

No.Too late to submit a secondary?
The difference between a week or two, no. Two months, maybe.So there really wasn’t a point in submitting this secondary early
Very helpful to know this!The batches come from AMCAS. The largest are >1000.

Is anyone else going to interview on September 10th?? I got invited to interview on August 14th.
I am! If you don't mind my asking, what are you planning to do for interview prep? I cashier on the weekends so not too concerned about my ability to keep calm and carry on, but I wish I knew more about their interview process. The website basically just says "MMI" XD
Just had my first MMI interview at ATSU-SOMA, just be genuine and care about your patient. Listen to their concerns and normalize the issues and support them.I've just been reading a lot about the MMI process. I've been going over practice situations with friends, and I am not too worried about the keep calm and carry on part. I've been studying bioethics for a bit and about the school. I hope its enough lol. It's so soon I'm scared.
Do you think there is a really good way to prepare? Mine is in a week! I've prepped quite a bit, but I feel as if all the sample answers I read are so formal and not conversational at all.As a current student at Wake: do not freak out about the MMI. It's very well organized and fairly not stressful relative to other MMIs. My biggest 2 cents I can give you is do not answer to what you think your interviewers want to hear. It's easy to tell when someone isn't being genuine so speak earnestly and you'll realize your answers flow a lot smoother. If you have any questions feel free to shoot.
Stats by chance?Do you think there is a really good way to prepare? Mine is in a week! I've prepped quite a bit, but I feel as if all the sample answers I read are so formal and not conversational at all.
Message me!Stats by chance?

Google maps shows public transportation that costs $2.50 but involves transferring. Alternatively Uber/lyft is an option and costs $25-30. Not sure about shuttle services though.Any recommendations on airport and shuttle services to campus? Looks like Piedmont Triad International Airport is the closest, but still 30 minutes away. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
yeah I saw that too- Thanks for the input on Uber and lyftGoogle maps shows public transportation that costs $2.50 but involves transferring. Alternatively Uber/lyft is an option and costs $25-30. Not sure about shuttle services though.
