This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
are we expecting decisions by oct 15 for those interviewed mid/late sept?!
 
Can you receive a decision after doing the Kira assessment but before your information session day?
 
Hello!

As the title suggests, I was wondering if there is anyone here with experience applying early decision to Wake Forest. I am applying in the 2023-2024 cycle and considering.

Thanks

I have moved your post to this specific applicant thread for Wake. Some students who applied ED should have heard back recently, so you will get more replies here.

In general, I would suggest applying ED only if you live near the school and need to stay there for family reasons and have stats around their median or better.
 
For those that interviewed already, how did you time doing the virtual assessment before the info session? I know the assessment needs to be done before the info session but did anyone do both on the same day? I'm trying to figure out how to space the two out most efficiently 🤔

Another preII rejection. I truly hate this process and I think I'm going to do something else. It all feels phony and elitist in my opinion. Screw it.

Right there with you both. certain doors close so others can remain or become open. If the school isn't willing to see and value what you have to offer, they are not for you anyways 😊 keep your heads up and programs that see our shining qualities will show us that they see them! Many amazing providers don't get in during the first or even second round of applications. I believe in you and know you will both succeed greatly!

I’m a fighter but the constant rejection doesn’t feel great. I just keep telling myself pressure creates diamonds . Thanks for the kind words! I’m gonna just focus on stuffing myself at Thanksgiving for a little while. Tiny onions in a sea of cream sauce….

From How Medical Schools Review Applications:

At Wake Forest School of Medicine, Ms. Tise explains, “Because of the large number of applications we receive, we use a formula that separates and groups applicants based on their AMCAS primary application. The groups are: 1) Proceed and send a secondary application, (2) Hold for MCAT score or other extenuating circumstances and notify candidates, and (3) Risk, based on academics.

Those candidates in the “risk” category are reviewed individually by the associate dean and an executive committee of five faculty and admissions committee members. From there, a decision is made to either proceed with the application process or reject the application.” Typically, after secondary applications are submitted, the associate dean and a committee review the applications and place candidates into interview pools. Because of the large number of applicants, only a small percentage is asked to interview.”

so for all those who are "completed" but are pre-II and not R yet: has the committee not gotten around to your secondary yet? Can't complain... better than a R.

Yup. Just like relationships. It doesn't mean you give up seeking it just because one school didn't see your "value" or "fit"
