I had a meeting with a current student and an alumni that went on to do his residency at UCLA and fellowship at Harvard. The alumni said that on top of being a well regarded program, WF supports and prepares you so much for the following chapters after med school. The student mentioned how chill the curriculum is and how much free time they had compared to their friends at other programs.

Did they act like the experience, education, and opportunities they received there were well worth the high COA? I love this school but am wondering about the cost.

I think the student had a pretty substantial scholarship and the alumni was an attending so I'm sure it didn't matter now
 
Anyone done IDOC after finishing up CSS profile? It specifically says Wake Forest is not using it but Wake Forest mentions using it on their own webpage.

Does this school accept letters of intent? I just got rejected from my state school and I'm terrified. Can I get any solace from being waitlisted here?

If you mean post II, your waitlist email should have mentioned that you supposedly gain a step up from others on the WL by uploading a letter of interest/intent. If that's the case, definitely get on that. If you mean waitlisted prior to interview, I don't think it could hurt assuming that the spot to upload a LOI is still available on the applicant portal and isn't just added after interviewing.

Wake Forest is among the schools that want you to complete a CSS profile for further financial aid consideration. Following completion, the student is informed if any of their cooperating schools require document upload (W2, 1040, 1099, etc): this is the IDOC service. After I was prompted to use IDOC by a different school, the webpage specifically mentioned that Wake Forest does not participate in this service, while Wake Forest's webpage says that it does. I was asking if anyone here has any further knowledge on meeting Wake Forest's March 15th deadline for CSS.

CSS took me about a month to work my way through. I just need to upload the IDOC files, but JHU just turned me down (no surprise), and they were the only ones demanding IDOC file upload. So now I am honestly unsure whether to do so.

Same, unsure what to do with the IDOC stuff
 
I’ve been complete since July and have not heard anything back, do they respond to emails?

I just called financial aid. The person who answered was extremely kind and helpful; she said Wake Forest is not using IDOC. She confessed she is new to the job so she confirmed with someone above her, and they are not using IDOC. So according to her, our financial aid responsibilities are done following submission of FAFSA and CSS. She even took the time to confirm that they received my CSS profile, which I told her was unnecessary, but it was still nice to have confirmation that they see it on their end.

For anyone working on CSS for Wake Forest: according to their financial aid office (March 7), they are not using IDOC this year for incoming students. CSS mentions that Wake Forest is not participating in document upload, but Wake Forest's website contradicts that at at least one location. I am deferred post interview myself, but this should be helpful for the March 15th financial aid "deadline."

Do we wait until April 15th (when aid offers come out) to negotiate financial offers or can we do it now if we have multiple acceptances?

Don't know, but that's an awesome situation to be in 🙂
 
Anyone going to the second look events this week? If so what are y’all wearing and is there a groupme for admitted students instead of the Facebook?

everything was explained in the email and the groupme was linked in one of their previous emails
 
Does the waitlist here really move so like 25% of the incoming class is from it? Anyone know if they'll have separate waitlists for each campus or is it one combined? It's been impossible to reach anyone by phone or get a reply email unfortunately.

They emailed me back with confirmation that the interview cycle is closed (for those who haven't received an update yet)

Glad you heard back. I still haven't heard if they have separate waitlists for each campus or if people getting off waitlist are just assigned one. Does anyone know?

You'll most likely be assigned one after wait-list movement, with the option of filing an appeal for the other campus.
 
When do you think we will expect waitlist movement
 
For people who submitted letters of interest or intent on the portal, did you get any sort of confirmation that it was received? I uploaded mine a while back and havent heard anything, just want to make sure its in the right place, thanks

I was under the impression you could not submit after the deadline and that all waitlisted students needed to submit if they were interested. I could be completely wrong though, it may be good to email admissions and see

I could still be considered for admission though, right? Just not any need-based scholarships.
 
Does anyone know if Wake actually gives financial aid? Like beyond what you would get federally? I'm an admitted student and I'd really like to attend but without any help from home and cheaper in state options it is kind of unfeasible for me.

If you filled out the CSS app and fafsa by their deadline I believe they will consider you for need based scholarships and I think you will get a notification on what they plan to give you by Mid april. If you didnt fill out both CSS and fasfa I believe they will not consider you for any needs based scholarship. They have merit scholarships too I think but I do not know much about them.
 
I have heard they do not give stethoscopes, so does anyone know the requirements for which to buy?
 
Waiting for that April 15th date anxiously...has anyone received any scholarships yet or do they all come out on that date? Ive heard other schools release them as part of the acceptance letter.

I got sent an email/call with one a couple of weeks ago but I think they send them at all different times.

Do they let you know where you are on the waitlist?

Wake does an unranked waitlist, I believe, so technically we cannot be "high/low". When I called them, they said they meet and look over every single waitlisted student every time they send out A's from the WL.
