Had my info session last week and they said that ideally, we would know before winter break but if not, we should know within the first two weeks of January!

Do they send post II rejections before March?

During my info session, they said they would! You will either get an email saying you are waitlisted or an email notification from the application portal saying an update has been posted or something like that and the update will be an acceptance or rejection.
Does anyone know when Wake stops sending IIs?
Did anybody get this email? I don’t know if this is a good sign 😂
I want one!!! ...But first I need to get an II 😆
Also don't think it means anything, to be honest. Seems to be a generic 'thank you' email they send out to applicants they interview.

Are you on the WL? I thought 12/10 had decisions already?
December 10? I haven't heard for them yet. I think you thought I meant October 12?

Oh my bad! You're right, they definitely wouldn't have gotten back to anyone from your group

yeah, me
Can WF just start up another mass app execution, I just need to know if they're gonna interview me or hit me with the R - my hopes are up and I can't have that lmao
Same, the wait is the worst part for me. I want to just know one way or the other rather than waiting and hoping on tender hooks.

Same here :/I saw people getting acceptances 2 days after their december interview in last year's thread and thought that would be the case this year with a pre-recorded Interview
Anyone know when the adcoms take off for their holiday break? Trying to find out when I should give up hope of hearing back this year. Interviewed 12/2
Do they have specific days when they typically send out the decisions or interview invites?
Well not sure if there are specific days, but I've noticed a trend because I am pathetic. IIs seem to go out on Tuesdays/Wednesdays and Rs on Wednesdays/Thursdays (maybe Fridays?). But it's been a while since the last R wave, but I seem to recall like maybe one or two reported II around this time last week.
Hi Everyone! Current MS1 here at Wake. Just wanted to drop by and say I know how exhausting this entire process can be and I'm here to answer/provide support if needed. Feel free to private message me if need be. Stay strong!
I had my info session on 11/10 and received my acceptance letter the day before thanksgiving! I am sure they are going to do the same with christmas.

Anyone think they'll sound out more II's or rejections before Christmas?

if they dont send any today, then my guess would be no
When I get bored at work I go snoop on previous year's threads. Last year Wake sent IIs on 12/20, 12/23, 1/10, and 1/22. Saw some R waves on 1/15 and 2/12. The earliest WL movement was on 2/19. Based on this I'm hoping we still have another month or so of IIs! Maybe longer if they're behind like so many schools are this year.

Did anyone else receive a joint degree interest form after their interview??? I feel like this is a promising sign... "Interviewed" Dec. 17th
Is there any way to check your status? I have had silence since submitting my secondary in August

Thanks! Good to know 🙂
Does anyone know where or when we will find out about scholarships or grants to help lower the cost of attending?
Current students or applicants that have insight on this:
When are we supposed to apply for loans? I have never taken out loans and I am not sure where to start in terms of getting loans and also fin aid.

You should fill out the FAFSA as soon as you can. That’s a good first step. You add schools on there that you have been accepted to or that you think may end up as an acceptance down the road.
Yes, right now (before Christmas/New Year's) is good timing. I would get it in ASAP because apparently, January is typically a big "R wave" month for a lot of schools. I myself sent an update/letter of interest a few days ago. Good luck!
On the other hand, here is a remark that my advisor at Duke (who is on the Duke admissions committee) said: "There is no need, at this time, to write to the schools. First, most still have half of their interview slots available and are working to get through the applications. Second, letters of intent are just not helpful. Your intent is assumed by your application. If, on the other hand, you have an update to your file: scholarship, promotion at work, publication/abstract, etc., it is appropriate to get in touch with those respective schools. Otherwise, I would not recommend."
I could be wrong but I thought I saw on their portal that letters of interest were only for waitlisted candidates ?
