If we were complete in early Sep, is there still hope?

Well if they're interviewing into March I would say that there's hope for anyone who hasn't gotten hit by any R waves so far :)

I sent an update to this school. Should I email them and let them know I updated my file or are they automatically notified?

I wouldn't email them about it because they ask you to upload any updates into the portal directly, rather than having you email it to them. I imagine they get notified automatically.

I am certainly no expert, but I can't imagine they will move people off the waitlist until after the commit to enroll date. **Or at least until after financial aid information starts rolling out. WF gives a fair amount of tuition assistance (as I understand it) and many people will likely decide once finances are clear. (That is what I am doing at least.) Maybe you can check last year's thread and see when things start picking up.

Just got an A this afternoon.

Stats: 3.31 (Biochem at a large state school in the midwest), 509, URM, OOS, Non-traditional (obtained my Bachelor's in 2009).
Started a scholarship geared towards at-risk youth while I was in college and has been going strong ever since. Have been serving as a Surface Warfare Officer in the Navy since graduating (going on 12 years). Also have a elementary-aged son with cerebral palsy.

Not much clinical volunteer work but I mentioned the requirements in caring for my son in my personal statement, in terms of administering medication, transport, experience with Medicare and various medical specialties. I also requested his Physiatrist write me a letter of recommendation atesting to everything involved in his care. Most interviewers I've had throughout the process have mentioned the impact of my personal statement, which I believe made up for my GPA.

Good luck to everyone. If I can get an acceptance, I'm sure you all have place for you, even if not Wake Forest.

I applied for fafsa already. I’m not sure how they evaluated. I think it’s merit based. I was accepted near the end of December.

Thanks! It was an email. I would guess they will award more because Wake is not done interviewing. A student I talked to said that Wake gives several full scholarships so I think more are coming.
 
Yeah they sent an email saying I was a recipient and stated the total amount of money per year in the email as well. It is merit based and they only need your primary and secondary to make the decision. But I did submit my fafsa late jan and my css app just yesterday.

If I haven't received an II at this point in the cycle should I go ahead and consider it a silent R?
Click to expand...
Probably. Wake is usually pretty transparent about your status, so I'm sure people will receive real rejection emails, but from our side, it looks like the last interview date for this cycle is 3/10. I suppose they could still be sending out a few more for that date in case some people drop out, but I would say that it's safe to assume the worst and be happily surprised if you happen to get one of the last few slots.
