2024-2025 Wake Forest

[kiwisun]

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

Was it a merit scholarship? Because I haven't heard of anyone recieving one yet.

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.

 

[hopefuldoc7381]

any idea how many people are on the waitlist?

 

[Strattera]

I swear I sent an update letter but got an email today reminding me to upload one to stay on the waitlist. If I did not see one uploaded in the portal I likely just forgot to upload it.

I emailed after to upload and explained the situation and they just responded that they confirmed the letter uploaded today.

This happened to me too. I thought I uploaded in February but checked again today and didn't see it so i reuploaded Again

Did everyone get the email about uploading a letter of interest even if you already had?

Has anyone else received financial aid info? I’m still waiting.

April 15th

 

[scientisticy5325]

Does anyone know how generous WF is with financial aid? I sent the FAFSA in time but I forgot to send the CSS stuff.

If I am not wrong, this makes me eligible for government loans but ineligible for school based help for the year. So am I missing out on much?

On Reddit I’ve never seen anyone post that WF gave them significant aid. 🤷‍♂️

Know plenty of people who got full tuition from previous years

 

[SubwayFiveDollarFootlong]

Just to clarify, them saying they will give you aid does not mean anything about your waitlist position correct?

 

[sillygoose1]

Hey yall, very grateful for any and all scholarship money but given stats and having a quite low SES background, I kinda thought Wake would pull through with a little more aid. Anyone else feel the same way?

Hello! Did they email you this information or is it on some portal?

 

[SubwayFiveDollarFootlong]

They sent an email saying that the packages were out in the PeopleSoft portal

I did not get that email nor do I know what PeopleSoft portal is

 

[SubwayFiveDollarFootlong]

Based off of what u said above I'm assuming ur waitlisted, so is there a reason why you'd expect a fin aid package now lol?

I am indeed. For some reason I had heard you would still get an aid package. Thanks for the clarification.

 

[kiwisun]

I feel the same way. I have had out of state public schools offer me more based off my SES background. I'm just going to try and apply to multiple scholarships and hope for the best

 

[Salem Winston]

How did you all sign in? I got the email with the MedCTR ID, Person ID Number, email address and temp. password, but I can't seem to figure out how to get into the People Soft portal.

 

[doctornugget]

I finally made it into the portal, but cannot find any tab related to finances or financial aid for the life of me.

It was so difficult to find. Once in, click self-service - not the drop down but the actual underline. Then from there, click student center and the finances section appears.

Thank you, I’m glad it wasn’t just me who was having trouble!

 

[caffeinefiends]

Is there any chance of scholarships being awarded past today?

 

[SoftPotatoKing]

110k in loans per year looks amazing, oh the cost to help people

 

[AT1717]

Withdrawing my A today, hope whoever gets it becomes an amazing doctor 🙂

 

[Serendipitykitcat]

I am running into technical issues and still unable to access the financial aid information. Very frustrating process.

 

[sam7med]

For anyone who was able to log into PeopleSoft, were yall using the user name and temporary password uploaded on the checklist page of the portal?? For some reason it’s not working

I've been having the same exact issue as you. it keeps saying invalid.

Would it have killed them to email a copy of the aid package to those of us who are unable to log in because of technical issues. I appreciate they are overwhelmed but it is still frustrating to wait all this time and be unable to access the information.

I hear ya. I'm not computer savvy at all, so the entire time I assumed I was doing something wrong. It's a relief to see that others are having the same problem, but ya it's frustrating nonetheless.

 

[sillygoose1]

Does anyone know if scholarships here are guaranteed across the four years, or is it just a one-time thing? Also curious to know if the "scholarship" category on the aid package is the same thing as need-based grants

not guaranteed. Each year you do Fafsa and CSS and get a new "offer". Unless you get Dean's excellence scholarship

 

[doctornugget]

Just emailed to withdraw my A and scholarship package. Good luck to everyone still waiting - now that my cycle is decided, I will be targeting my manifesting and hoping energy to all of you! 🤞

Hello! Does anyone know if they have filled all the spots at the Charlotte campus or could a call off the waitlist be for Charlotte as well as the other campus? I am confused how this two campus thing will work here.

Hello! Does anyone know if they have filled all the spots at the Charlotte campus or could a call off the waitlist be for Charlotte as well as the other campus? I am confused how this two campus thing will work here.

I highly doubt either campus is completely full right now. My best guess is that after April 30th there will be spots available at each campus as people withdraw their A's and based on that they will either assign you a campus or let it be first come first served from waitlist A's.

 

[backwall25]

Just planned to enroll! Is there an admitted students group me?

Congrat’s! So sorry that I can’t answer your question. I’m just a waitlist warrior here. I’m curious whether you picked your campus or if they assigned you one? Thanks!

Sorry I should have clarified, I was accepted back in October, I got to select my campus preference, and got WS. I’d imagine for WL warriors they just assign what opens up.

 

[kanelsnegle]

Any accepted students know when orientation is expected to start? And when the white coat ceremony would be?

Just a waitlisted student optimistically trying to plan 🙃
