Does anyone know if WF requires Duet along with CASPER?
they do notDoes anyone know if WF requires Duet along with CASPER?
Here is a listing for this year, see post #9 for CASPer information 2024-2025 list of schools and their SJTsDoes anyone know if WF requires Duet along with CASPER?
Under "checklist" I am seeing this message: Waiting on Materials (LORs, CASPer Score or Additional MCAT Scores). I literally had LORs in super early, CASPER completed a long time ago so I think its slow processingHas anyone else had this problem too? My application says it is missing materials like CASPER but my CASPER was sent a long time ago
I'm just gonna go to the schools normal community service website if I can't find it on their MD school specific websiteCan someone point me in the direction of the community service initiatives they offer? I'm having trouble finding it through their webpage
TIA!! ❤️
I'm on the same boat. Took Casper over a month ago and my other CASPER schools have marked my app as completeHas anyone else had this problem too? My application says it is missing materials like CASPER but my CASPER was sent a long time ago
no submitted on the first day, still "waiting on materials"Has anyones application been changed to complete?
I submitted 6/29 too. I’m confused if this is an error or notyea still says missing for me unfortunately and I submitted 6/28
no submitted on the first day, still "waiting on materials"
i have the same thing was wondering if this was happening to other people too idk what to do about it, since i also know my committee letter was submittedI submitted the secondary on Friday and my Casper scores said were already sent, but Wake Forest still says "awaiting documents" in the materials. Is that normal?
+1!Application marked complete and under review 7/11
I did WFUSoM I think. They get what ur saying at the end of the dayanyone know if we are allowed to shorten the name to WFUSM when writing?
Also have this question. Is this typical for all schools? If so, does the answer to this question apply to others with the same reviewing process? Redundancy, or copied/pasted text from the primary, has to be frowned upon at some point, right?"Application reviewers do not have access to your full AMCAS application with personal statement and experiences when reviewing your secondary application. "
Does this mean that we can take some pieces from the primary app and use it in our responses? Or is that still a bad idea?
I think what they mean is they have a more unbiased review of your application because they do not have preconceived notions from your primary activities, scores, and writing. I would not copy and paste anything from your primary. Just treat this as any other secondary and maybe just go into slightly more detail about what the activities and your roles are. For example, if you were an MA at X dermatology clinic. You couldn't assume they knew that already from your primary by just saying "My time at X dermatology clinic taught me..." you would have to say like " While working as an MA at ...". I really dont think this secondary should be treated different than any others.Also have this question. Is this typical for all schools?

I think this just has to do with bias. Don't copy anything from your primary. Your secondary is meant to give examples of what you have done and what you learned, so obviously there will be some similarities to your primary. However, I know most applicants don't talk in depth about things like diversity, social determinants of health, and failure in there applications. Those are some of the things secondaries ask and would not be included in your primary."Application reviewers do not have access to your full AMCAS application with personal statement and experiences when reviewing your secondary application.

did you have your CASPer already scored? I submitted 6/28 and haven't gotten anything yet, likely because I took my casper last week I'm guessingI got an email saying they received my materials and is under review. 😀
I submitted 6/29 and I am also under review but it took like maybe a week to be marked complete. My CASPer was first week in May. Submitted 6/29 and under review/complete 7/11. Yours make take a bit due to the later CASPerdid you have your CASPer already scored? I submitted 6/28 and haven't gotten anything yet, likely because I took my casper last week I'm guessing
Thanks for the heads up, I think you're right. While its annoying, its my fault for taking a July casper lol. WFU is the only CASPer requiring school not reviewing my application yet- I guess the others review without it and utilize it if it comes back Q1 or something, lol.I submitted 6/29 and I am also under review but it took like maybe a week to be marked complete.

On your secondary invitation email, there's a link under bullet point #1 that says "Link to WFUSM secondary" which you use to make your account. Under bullet point #3 there's a link that says "Portal Link" which you use to access it in the future.I think I did something wrong when logging into the secondary portal for Wake Forest...because whenever I click the link to access the secondary application, it shows me this error screen and there's literally nowhere else to go. I emailed admissions but wanted to ask if anyone here has suggestions because the admin office won't get back to me till Monday ugh
Thanks for letting me know, yeah, I clicked the "Link to WFUSM Secondary" and the error message I attached previously keeps popping up. And when I click the "Portal Link" it doesn't let me access the WFUSM Secondary because I apparently "haven't started it"On your secondary invitation email, there's a link under bullet point #1 that says "Link to WFUSM secondary" which you use to make your account.

Oh, got it! Sorry, I thought you had already started it. I got that error page when I had already started it and tried clicking on that first link again.Thanks for letting me know, yeah, I clicked the "Link to WFUSM Secondary" and the error message I attached previously keeps popping up.

Ah makes sense. Yeah...I can't seem to get it to work. I'll wait till I hear from admissions :,( so sad, my secondary essays are all ready to goOh, got it! Sorry, I thought you had already started it. I got that error page when I had already started it and tried clicking on that first link again.
Based on this: Charlottedoes anyone know if there is a separate application for the Charlotte campus or is it just one app for both campuses?
I talked about what I learned from volunteering with and shadowing physicians who serve underserved populations. Anything that answers the question.How is everyone going about the new prompt "1. The National Association of Colleges and Employers defines equity as recognizing that we do not all start from the same place and must acknowledge and make adjustments to imbalances. It is an ongoing process, requiring us to identify and overcome intentional and unintentional barriers arising from bias or systemic structures. Consider your abilities, insights, and previous experiences and then tell us about your ability to promote equity. (200 words)"
Any advice is appreciated ❤️
I updated with information about my gap year job (which I did not include in my work/activities because I’d just started the week before)!For those who have submitted already, what's the deal with providing updates? They said I can give them by uploading up to 6 files. Let's say I did some additional shadowing during the summer, how would I upload that in a file?
I'm thinking it could be a docx/pdf/txt with a short description of the activity and what I learned, mimicking work/activities from AMCAS, but I'm not sure.
Personally feels like the obstacle is still academic. I would try a different topic. Or, focus on the health news, but through a different lens of how it impacted you outside of the MCAT.For the non-academic obstacle essay, could I write about really scary personal health news that happened while studying for the MCAT and how I overcame the news and continued to stay on schedule for my MCAT studying? Or is that too academic- bc in my opinion, the obstacle itself is not academic
Yep leave out the MCAT partPersonally feels like the obstacle is still academic. I would try a different topic. Or, focus on the health news, but through a different lens of how it impacted you outside of the MCAT.
