Expect some situational questions (try practicing MMI questions you find online). Also expect "regular" questions too. Use a quick google search of med school interview questions to practice those. And as always, know your app and know how your experiences/stories can be used in different scenarios. I know how it feels to wonder how this is gonna work, so without revealing too much I hope this helps a little bit.

It was forsure a little awkward, especially since I never do anything recording myself. Sometimes you get caught up looking at your own face lol. Definitely practice recording yourself beforehand. But on a plus side, remember that more graders will look at your responses so it will be more fair. And remember that it is probably awkward for the majority of us, so they've seen it all already. The Dean, faculty, and students were super nice and welcoming during the virtual session, so don't worry about that- it was enjoyable.

Just got the waitlist email (12/9 info sesh and OOS). Not too shabby, as I didn’t feel too hot about my virtual assessment and don’t have special ties to WF.

100% yes! They would not waste resources to interview someone who they do not think would get in. Put your best foot forward and prepare well 🙂, you got this

Anybody have an idea of how many on the wait list? 30% is a nice number, but if there are hundreds on the wait list, the chances are low.
Gosh, I hate waitlist purgatory.

last year, i got an ii mid-feb, last information session was like feb 23rd-ish, so there is more time, most likely!

 

[Herbidot]

Feb. 9th and Feb. 15th were the only interview days available as of two days ago

Has wake Forest sent out rejections yet or do they just send mass rejections at the end?

There have been at least 2 waves of Rs

I know Wake Forest sends out financial aid announcements in mid April and pulls off the waitlist after that. For those of us on the waitlist, is there any chance of us getting scholarships/financial aid from this school?

 

[tinyscientist]

Yall, it's HAPPENING!!! Just got accepted from the waitlist. Feeling so incredibly lucky. Best of luck to everyone still waiting😍!!!

(stats: MCAT 512, GPA 3.9, OOS, ORM, information session 9/12, update letter sent 12/1)

[PleaseAcceptMe7316]

did you send a letter of interest or an update letter?

I sent a combination of that before my interview

 

[jjll]

Please don't spread misinformation, the dean welcomed updates during my info session and I submitted a few and got an invite. Per the site:
"You can submit updates through your applicant portal to be placed in your file, but we cannot guarantee that it will be reviewed by the Committee on Admissions."

where to do you submit it on the portal?

 

[med-student-2023]

Has anyone heard anything that was in the 01/23 virtual information session?

 

[kyrgyzkreature]

where to do you submit it on the portal?

You should see the option under "View Checklist" to add Application Updates! And to double down on updates being okay, I was accepted even though I submitted 3 🙂

 

[Tygokid]

Has anyone heard anything that was in the 01/23 virtual information session?

Was at the 1/23 session. Still haven’t heard anything back. I’m guessing we will hear something sometime this week? They said we would hopefully hear back by mid February.

Okay, ugh I'm nervous! Best of luck!

 

[ncman8]

I was at the 2/2 virtual session and they said they was meeting again the third week of February to vote for us

 

[poppy123o6]

Anyone know if wake forest still sending IIs?

Oh wow okay, so I'm guessing 1/23 will be this week?

 

[Herbidot]

Anyone know if wake forest still sending IIs?

I got an II last week so I would assume so

 

[Herbidot]

Yes its very typical. People they were building fin aid or scholarships for drop out and they take in ppl off the waitlist and pretty much go into overdrive to build packages for those accepted students.

 

[curioussssgeorge]

Anyone know if wake forest still sending IIs?

The last interviews date is around mid-Feb
