I emailed yesterday and they said they were having technical difficulties with sending out the emails, but that it should be coming soon.I have not received anything either.
Just called admissions to see how many people on the waitlist and they wouldnt say...gahhh. She did mention that the class is full as of now, but they expect a lot of movement after the April 30th acceptance deadline.
And if you have any friends that are pretty sure that they are NOT coming to Wake, tell them that everyone would appreciate them freeing up a spot. Movement has been kind of slow this year...
No. It will probably be later than last year.@Pathdocmd any idea when the committee will meet to discuss the first round of waitlist movement?
I'm interested in this too. lol gunner alert so funnyGunner question alert:
Does anyone know how AOA is determined since there are no grades or published ranking system (I know they keep an internal ranking system that only one person has access to, but I'm not sure if this is used in AOA determination).
hahah same with Huggy nametag...maybe one day we'll disclose who we really areAt second look I kept hoping to meet someone wearing a "Dr. Kat" name tag. Was very disappointed...
Hahah the question I too wanted to ask but was afraid of asking lololGunner question alert:

you looked sexy af at second luck
Of course I read the message before you edited it I think, 99% chance is a troll post but if not, come talk to me once July 10th/11th rolls around, I'm a nice person!
I have and was notified of it a few weeks ago via email and then snail mail letter before receiving further notification that my financial aid package was ready to view. You could email the financial aid office; they're so nice and helpful and could probably let you know if there is still merit-based aid to assign.Has anyone received strictly merit based aid? If so, when and how were you notified? Trying to figure out if it's still a possibility so I can make a decision and potentially give someone else a spot here
No and unfortunately this will probably why I forfeit my spot too. I love love love Wake Forest, but can't justify taking out >$100,000 more in student loans (over 4 years). Sounds like DefertoPermanent had a similarly underwhelming experience with the FinAid package. I called the financial aid office and they said all merit aid has been dispersed as of now. If some people withdraw they will redistribute, but obviously you can't bank on that.Has anyone received strictly merit based aid? If so, when and how were you notified?

I apologize for my ignorance in advance, but can someone explain what merit based fin aid looks like? I thought WF doesn't have scholarships? I also thought that everyone gets to take out the same amount of loans to cover COA?
Wake Forest have quite a few funds for scholarships. You can read about them in pages 24 - 42 of the financial aid handbook (link below). It's basically money you don't have to pay back. If you received any it would have been in the financial aid summary you received ~1 week ago. Certain scholarships have goals/criteria like increasing diversity of the student body, funding a NC resident, or funding a Wake Forest under grad, etc. A large portion are also need based. http://www.wakehealth.edu/uploadedFiles/User_Content/SchoolOfMedicine/About_the_School/Financial_Aid/FA Handbook for Students.2016.pdf#page24
I actually ended up receiving a quite large (~50%) strictly merit based scholarship this week.. not sure if that was the last round of awards but they definitely exist at Wake Forest and I assume some may be redistributed after April 30th if people withdrawThank you!! I didn't know that!!

Yes
If my friend hasn't received a scholarship yet, is it safe to assume she will not be receiving any?
Maybe, maybe not. I emailed the financial aid office about this already, and they said that due to people turning down acceptances: "there is a possibility of shift in regards to scholarships up to matriculation."
Is this for merit-based or need-based?
If my understanding is correct, Wake forest doesn't have a ranked waitlist. So waitlist movement doesn't happen right away. They usually meet sometime mid may and discuss who they would like to accept from it.So since April 30th is this Sunday, can we expect to begin hearing from the waitlist as early as Monday? Getting really anxious to hear!

No. I'm thinking middle to late May.So since April 30th is this Sunday, can we expect to begin hearing from the waitlist as early as Monday? Getting really anxious to hear!

We accept them, it is hard to gauge impact because I don't know how each committee member values them. Just don't send one every week...Does WFSOM encourage LOIs/update letters? Do these have an impact?
Dope. I would loooooooove to go wake.I'm going to drop this here for those who are interested. New MSAR data.

Was just told when I called that the first meeting on waitlisted applicants is Monday.
It is true. It came sooner than I expected. Letters should go out on Tuesday. If you don't hear anything by the end of the day, assume that you are still on the wait list.Did anyone else get real nervous all of a sudden? Hopefully Pathdoc chimes in to confirm.
