I just read last year's thread and the first WL movement I saw was May 1, after the April 30 deadline :/ By that point I doubt when you interviewed will matter much.
I'm really bummed. I absolutely fell in love with this school.

sooo I just received my first med school interview request & its from this school (which I'm insanely stoked about since it was a reach school for me). I need some advice--keep in mind I haven't done interview prepping or anything. My options are October 21st (legit less than a week away) or November 18th. I know that the earlier you interview the better your chances are, but do you think I can be ready for the interview and do well in less than a week? Thanks!

Agreed, MMI in particular requires a tad more prep and confidence in my opinion!
I would do earlier. My opinion is that you should do some practice MMI questions, but I think you can accomplish that in just a few days.

II today! (my first one and I'm soooo relieved) Complete 8/19, OOS
Congrats to all of the IIs! Are you receiving these via email or in the portal?

via email
Not to be that paranoid person but what was your "confirmed" date on the portal? (I know we've established there's likely no correlation...)
so when you look at details under the application what is the difference between sent and confirmed? I received a complete email way earlier than my confirmed date so it can't be the same thing..
II !! Totally didn't expect one yet. Stoked!!

Actually my confirmed date was Oct 2nd. I haven't been following the thread on this topic but is that supposed to be the day they looked at my application?
When were you "confirmed" in your app portal?
AH yes I was wondering this as well
Posted that date earlier in the thread. Pretty sure it means nothing because some people got confirmed after they had already gotten an II.

confirmed date doesnt mean anything at all i believe
Does everyone's waitlist email say "favorable position" in it? Or did they actually only said it to people who ACTUALLY have a favorable position?
II invite this morning! I have to reschedule though so I am not sure when but dates offered were early December!
towards the end of July, after 7/20/19
7/2/19 complete date

I hate that I've become this person but.. would you mind sharing LM?

No worries this process is tough. LM ~71 and I’m a URM. Good luck!
Unless something totally radical has changed, you will start in July
It’s the same email for everyone. And it’s “favorable” because 25% of their class comes from it.
Doesn't sound that favorable to me
25% is favorable in the sense that others schools only take a few people from the waitlist while they take 35 people.

Does anyone know how many people are normally waitlisted? It seems like a lot.
Idk what to tell you. But if you do let me know how it goes!
Really no point tbh. I think they dont even go in order. Its a long grueling process, unfortunately you gotta give it time.
Unlikely that you'll get a straight answer to this since we signed an NDA, can't share any info about the MMI
MMI’s are scenario based. You can google practice MMI questions. They aren’t about your application.
I submitted my letter of interest! Does anyone know if I should expect an email confirmation? Still hoping for some love against all odds lol

I LOVED my interview at Wake Forest, but I’ve also been fortunate enough to be accepted by a school in Texas that would cost half as much. Does anyone know how Wake Forest is with scholarships and when we would find out about them?

Just got an interview! Submitted on 10/5. Fingers crossed. I wonder if MMI will be an in person equivalent of Casper? I’m great at normal interviews but I’m a little worried
My experience with MMIs is that they are somewhere in between the CASPer and a “normal interview.” Best advice is to just be relaxed and honest
