any thoughts on what it means to have not heard back at all since mid sept secondary submission?

I think it was mentioned in this thread that the school does rolling admissions, so they periodically go back to older applicants and look at them.

On the other hand, I happen to believe that there may be certain applications too weak (or with a red flag too big) that no matter how many times it's come back to, it will remain ignored; effectively a silent R. Starting to think that's me lol. Complete mid-August.

I think I saw someone way back in this thread call to check up on the status of their application just for peace of mind. I am debating whether I should do the same thing. This is like my dream school and I would rather just know if it was a R

they do rolling Rs though, I thought?
 
Has anyone who did the info session in early November heard back yet?
 
I did wake info session Nov 12. The dean said to expect decisions in mid Dec but after he left the meeting, someone else in the meeting said that we may hear sooner than that, late Nov / early Dec, based on when the adcom is meeting for that round of applicants. So mid Nov people, I think we would hear back super soon!
 
Anyone complete in October hear back yet? My secondary was complete August but I didn't realize my application would be 9incomplete without casper 😔

Man that's scary. sorry to hear that. Just curious if you felt any particular way about your VITA performance. I feel like mine was pretty terrible and my anxiety grows the closer I get to my information session.

My vita was terrible. Had to end one of the questions significantly early. Got nervous and lost train of thought. They stressed in the info session that they weren't putting as much weight on the interview this year since its pre-recorded. I

I totally botched one of the responses, but think I did very well on the rest. I also feel like I wasn't a great fit for this school.
 
Heard a rumor that Wake would potentially review their waitlist in December (it also looks like they've accepted off the waitlist in December during previous cycles)... anybody heard anything in a recent info session about when they may start to look at the WL?

Nah, last cycle was the first time in 5+ years that they pulled people from the WL before May 30. They accepted people in February and April last year from the WL but not December.

Thanks for being open and honest about the R. I know it stings but you're going to make a great doctor wherever you end up! This is Wake's loss

They actually pulled people in December during the 2017-2018 cycle as well. Not sure it makes any difference, but worth mentioning.
 
Did anyone send a thank you email after the information session? I did not do this since it was not a normal interview and there were many people involved... but now I am second guessing, thinking maybe I should have.

Even at most schools that (normally) do one on one in person interviews, thank you letters don’t matter. I never sent a single thank you letter while applying and I got multiple acceptances last cycle, including to wake, so definitely don’t worry about it!
 
For current students, does wake provide a white coat and a stethoscope for incoming students? Also, do students wear a specific scrub color for labs? 🙂 thank you!

Wake provides a white coat, but you need to purchase your own stethoscope. Regarding labs, people wear whatever color they want. Some don’t even wear scrubs at all, instead they wear other comfortable clothes that they don’t mind potentially getting dirty.

Pre-II R just now. Complete 8/20, Update 10/19.

Did they send you an email with the decision? Their portal isn't very informative so I was just wondering where it shows up. Sorry to hear about the R tho 😢 fingers crossed for you to hear some *good* news from somewhere else 🙂
