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

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.

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

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

recirculating this, does anyone know? 🙂
 
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.
 
Does anyone have any recommendations for the online interview questions/ how to prepare?

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