Is it too much to ask about what time emails are usually released?

It depends on staffing and what else is going on. They double check everything before anything is sent out.

I got accepted too!!! Wow I'm so happy :)

@Hopefulmedstudent606 I have heard that it is very helpful to send a letter of interest/update! I personally know someone who did that and got in in May. Best of luck! Feel free to PM if I can do anything to help!

ETSU is changing their curriculum this year, and new students start July 17th for EC17. At the interview they said that they're doing this to open up more dedicated study time before the step exam in year 2 which I thought was a solid idea. Perhaps this is a new trend at some schools?

Has a second look date been released?
 
For anyone waiting on hearing back for interview invites, confirmation for updates, etc I think the office is running a bit behind on things because of the snow storm. I called earlier today and they said a lot of administration were off Friday and today.

For the $100 deposit just send it to

Office of MD Student Admissions

Wake Forest School of Medicine

PO Box 573183

Winston Salem, NC 27157

Aww man, just got the rejection email :( First rejection that has actually hurt.
 
Missed a call from a Wake Forest number. Got excited. Checked email. Rejected... Lol. Wrong number I guess. Complete very early October.

So if we haven't been rejected but haven't heard anything about an II, what does that mean? All the applications have been reviewed at this point, right?

So what's interview day like? Also do I have a good chance of staying with a med student? Interviewing in about 3 weeks or so.

It's very relaxed. There are three one on one interviews that last 20 minutes on the dot. They give an extremely detailed presentation on financial aid and whatnot since it's so expensive. They do to typical tour like every other school and provide lunch. I don't know anything about staying with a student because they were all on break the day I interviewed.

Does anyone know when they're releasing their decisions about waitlisted people? Is it rolling as well? :s

They don't move people off the wait list until may. They wait to see how the class shapes up following the April 30th deadline then pull people off to fill the class sometime mid May.

My email came shortly after noon (for a different month's decisions). On interview day I remember the coordinator saying something that she likes to get them out by 5pm EST on Thursday (if not earlier) but that once in a while if she's really busy, it may be later than that...even as late as Friday.

Well I have 2 years worth of research. Wholesome shadowing experience. And a consistent volunteer record. I ultimately got rejected......so. Potentially an interview problem given the finality of their decision and my academics.

I did apply at 19 so that might have been an issue as far as perceived maturity.....
 
I just got an II. :)

Does this school ask crazy ethical scenario type questions, or do they ask pretty standard, "Tell me about yourself and why you're attracted to this school," type questions?

How are the interviews scheduled? Like, are they at the end of the day following tours, lunch, etc., at the beginning of the day, etc.?
