Right there with you both. certain doors close so others can remain or become open. If the school isn't willing to see and value what you have to offer, they are not for you anyways :giggle: keep your heads up and programs that see our shining qualities will show us that they see them! Many amazing providers don't get in during the first or even second round of applications. I believe in you and know you will both succeed greatly!

From How Medical Schools Review Applications:

At Wake Forest School of Medicine, Ms. Tise explains, “Because of the large number of applications we receive, we use a formula that separates and groups applicants based on their AMCAS primary application. The groups are: 1) Proceed and send a secondary application, (2) Hold for MCAT score or other extenuating circumstances and notify candidates, and (3) Risk, based on academics.

Those candidates in the “risk” category are reviewed individually by the associate dean and an executive committee of five faculty and admissions committee members. From there, a decision is made to either proceed with the application process or reject the application.” Typically, after secondary applications are submitted, the associate dean and a committee review the applications and place candidates into interview pools. Because of the large number of applicants, only a small percentage is asked to interview.”

so for all those who are "completed" but are pre-II and not R yet: has the committee not gotten around to your secondary yet? Can't complain... better than a R.

Yup. Just like relationships. It doesn't mean you give up seeking it just because one school didn't see your "value" or "fit"

Where can you see the status of your application? Is it under the "view details" tab where it says "status"?

Just curious because in the email it says it should say "file complete" but mine says "forms submitted successfully" so I am curious if there is another location to view status.

I'm sure there is no schadenfreude but it is hard to celebrate "No R Yet." But many are in the same boat as you.

Haven't heard anything yet either, complete late August. But it's hard to be optimistic when last cycle I dodged several R waves until I finally got axed in February.

You are both right... hard time to celebrate. It's been said before here on SDN: You are rejected until you are accepted.

Their website says you can submit updates through the portal, but i don't see any place to upload additional documents? Am i just stupid or should I email them my update?
 
Wake forest has two ‘portals’. After you submit your secondary, the portal you used to fill your application will close. Go to your complete email, they have the other portal linked there

I just prepared like I did any other interview, and maybe focused a bit more on the situational questions "tell me abt a time when...", etc. Def know why medicine, but that goes for any interview. But I think it's better to have your talking points condensed cuz it can be distracting looking at yourself and I lost my train of thought once and sorta got hung up on it for the other q's. But I got in still, so obvi I didn't need to be perfect. lol. You'll kill it!

Hi everyone! Current M3 here. Just wanted to pitch in and say Wake is an amazing school and I'm grateful to be pursuing my medical training here. The physicians and faculty are supportive, available, and there are a myriad of opportunities available to students. I followed SDN pretty closely during my application year, and so I'm happy to answer any questions! Good luck!!

does anyone know when wake starts pulling from the waitlist?
 
Does anyone know if WF does an admitted students day in the Spring or anything like that?
 
First of all, do IIs show up on the portal message or does that only change once there's an actual decision like rejection or acceptance or waitlist for you? Second of all, if they do show up on the portal, does that happen before or after y'all get notified by email?
 
Do we need to accept our position on the waitlist? Or is there nothing else we need to do to still be considered except a letter of interest?

Does accepting the position just mean that you're holding the acceptance until further notice? I just want to make sure I'm clear on what their expectations are. And does anyone know if they require a deposit?
