2023-2024 Wake Forest

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Did they mention when you guys would hear back from interviews?
They mentioned the standard AAMC traffic rules. So October 16th would be the earliest, but in practice most schools push this a little further to the right.

Would you guys say it’s too late to apply here now?

Can anyone who already participated in the information session explain how exactly the MMI played out? It says on the email that it's primarily teamwork assessment so I'm unsure if that's just similar to Casper scenarios or if they'll twist it into a medical context and you'd have to utilize healthcare ethics. I might just be overthinking it but I wanted to be sure beforehand.

I think it was 5-6 students and they asked us a question and we had to talk together for 30 minutes and come to a consensus.

Did they mention whether they would call with decisions or if they would email? Anxiously hovering over my phone

Same here 🫣 Based on last year's thread, it appears they sent out an email saying an update has been shared on your portal.
 
I have been refreshing my email every five minutes today. Being patient with this is difficult.. I want a decision!

Submitting this late is going to hurt your chances but if you've got the money and it's before their deadline then go for it.

This sounds cliché, but just be yourself. They’re already interested in who you are on paper. This is your time to show that you’ll be the sort of colleague and future classmate that they’re looking for. Best of luck!

Yes good advice! I’ve had a few interviews but I’m unfamiliar with the format for this school’s. They have a virtual automated interview where you’re not talking to an actual person, and in another portion they have an MMI Teamwork assessment. I was wondering if anyone could give me examples of questions asked and some tips specific to these. Thanks!

I'll be honest: the virtual one-way assessment was the most challenging format I've encountered of all the interviews I've done. This may be because I'm older and my relationship with technology is different. I seriously dislike selfies and will likely be the last person in the pre-med or med school space to start a vlog. For that reason, I felt uncomfortable with the one-way format. Even with a traditional interview or MMI, you can read the other person and see if they understand what you're trying to communicate. This is lost in the one-way interview. If you're like me, my best advice is to answer the question and move on. Don't linger on thinking you have talk more or fill the remaining time.

Regarding examples of questions, you can use what you find on most websites that cover tips on the med school interview. If you haven't seen this, then I'll recommend it as a resource: https://prehealth.ua.edu/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/es-interview-questions.pdf

Was it mostly standard questions like those or were there ethical and situational questions too?
 
Can any accepted applicants who already submitted their decision please check their portals?

For some reason, I can no longer view my decision letter and it's making me super paranoid. I have it saved but I get an error when I try to access it through the portal. I already got the confirmation and financial aid emails
Did you check applyweb.com? Mine is listed there.
 
Without discussing the question details, is it just me or was that kira talent interview so weird and hard

Any suggestions for the virtual component? Also, how long did it take you to complete because want to make sure I leave enough time for it

Should take you an hour. You can practice by answering questions with FaceTime on just to get the feel for it. You do have a practice session that’s part of your AV check. This is ungraded. If you’ve gotten the hang of MMIs you’ll be fine.
