2020-2021 Application Cycle


Recommended Posts

Has anyone heard back from the 9/30 interview day? I am wondering if they’re going by interview days or if it’s all together. Anxious awaiting news...

I’m also from 9/30 interview and haven’t heard back! We just have to be patient I’m sure we’ll hear soon.

I was placed in the Boone cohort—a little disappointed to be honest. Does anyone know if you can request the other campus?

How did you find out? And I think you had to send an email over the weekend about extenuating circumstances that make you want one campus over the other. I’m not positive though.

I clicked on the link in the email and when you login into your account if you scroll down there should be a link to a decision letter. I don’t have any circumstances that would prevent me from being at either campus, I was just hoping to be in Winston Salem at the main wake forest campus. Obviously both would provide a great education—just a little disappointed

Thanks! I’ll look for it. And yeah both campuses are really nice at least and I think all students start at Winston Salem campus for the first month.

Just got the acceptance call!!! Interviewed 9/15!!!

Hey congrats on the acceptance! I'm interviewing on 10/20 and I was wondering if you could tell me whether the interview is open or closed file? It would really help me to prepare, thanks!

It took a little over two weeks to hear back. Honestly, just stay relaxed! They really do just want to get to know you. I can’t say much about the interview because we were told not to but I enjoyed the experience. Just take a deep breathe and give yourself a pep talk right before. You know yourself better than anyone so just show them who you are! You’re gonna do great!

Ok, no problem. Do you remeber if they referenced your application at all during the interview? Like did they seem to already know stuff about you? Also would you be able to tell me whether it was a traditional or MMI format? Seems like it's more traditional but I'm not sure. Thanks!

It's more of a traditional format, but they did tell us not to share any information about the interview so that's all we can really say! I'm sorry!
