When do people think the next wave of acceptances/waitlists are coming out?

 

[scientisticy5325]

For letters of interest, is it recommended to send sooner rather than later, or is it better to wait until you have a lot to update with?

Should LOI's even include any updates or should we save those purely for update letters?

Seconding this question. When is the right time to send letters?

My pre-med office said that you should send updates when you have something significant to talk about (new job, publications, significant volunteering that you did not talk about on primaries) and that now is a good time to send if you haven't heard anything. I think its ok to include updates on LOIs but LOIs are typically sent after an interview.

Would you consider submitting a manuscript to a journal (not yet accepted for publication) to be a significant update? If accepted, it would be my first publication.

Don’t send updates about pubs until they are published is the tip I’ve heard many times

Is there a time window to do kira, I just received the link but not sure by when I have to complete?

Pretty sure it just needs to be done prior to your interview. That is how I interpreted it.

I volunteer with a service org and was recently promoted to a leadership position within it. I know this isn’t a job promotion, but would this be update worthy?

Yes I think so! Especially if you can tie it into the schools mission/what it means to you on a professional level. They also told me you can quickly add any personal achievements (running a race, selling art pieces, etc) if you have anything like that to put in too.

Hey, Wake Forest admissions team....

 

[HopefulDoclol]

Should early WL's expect any movement before may or is it typically just in may?

Oh no sorry I meant my premed committee! They are super knowledgeable and helpful

Seconding this question and adding: does anyone know if a lot of people get actually taken off or is this just a soft R?

Pretty sure Wake has decent WL movement, especially if you send a letter of intent. And the earliest would be April, in the email it said to expect movement after the “commit to enroll date” and last years thread showed offers being made shortly after that

How many more interviews do you think they will give out?

WL just now :/ interviewed 10/24

OOS A last night

 

[just_a_bagel]

My application was received 7/18 and I haven't heard anything since :/ I'm an in state applicant. I've gotten interviews with UNC and ECU so I'm a bit surprised I haven't heard anything from WFU yet, but it's not over until it's over I guess!

Same here. They do get an absurd amount of applications, so I think they just take longer naturally.

Record yourself answering traditional interview questions, that’s really the best way to prepare.

thank you i appreciate it. Did any questions catch you off guard or were they for the most part standard?

 

[LBirddawg]

WL just now. Interviewed on 10/28. Does everyone that doesn’t receive an acceptance get put on the waitlist post II?
