queenofhearts Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 how difficult are the questions on the secondary? I haven't received mine yet because I just submitted a little while back. Can anyone tell me what the questions were? Or PM i want to get a head start on it so when I do receive it I can finish it pretty quick and submit. Thanks!

MarciKiser Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 The key one is to tell them why you want to learn in a PBL-based program. Start thinking of why you value collaborative learning vs. the traditional model, *without* bashing the traditional model. It's a difficult needle to thread.

dschelar Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Anyone know if they're still contacting people for interviews? Or how many seats they've already filled? I submitted my supplemental back in August and still haven't heard anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allie88 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 dschelar, same! I submitted my supplemental on like 8/10 and I still haven't heard anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daynarc Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 @dschelar and allie88, I interviewed with Wake in September, and they explained the interview process as such: they have interviews in Sept, Oct, Nov, and Jan. They interview about 48 students a month and accept about 15 a month. If you interview in September and are not one of the 15 or so selected, your application moves into the October group. Then from the new interviews and the remaining September candidates, 15 or so more seats are filled and so on. So they don't completely fill the class until after interviews have been complete. Also, I got my interview invitation about 2 weeks before the actual interview, so I would assume they are still contacting people for the later dates. Hope this helps, and good luck! Wake Forest's program has a lot to offer and was very impressive :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbergs1 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 received an interview today for 10/24!! very excited! =) I was reading on the website that they have a group interview. For anyone that has interviewed already, can you elaborate on what that is like?? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpemberton Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 The group is more of a mock PBL session...they will explain the process and present a scenario and as a group we work through the case with some guidance from the faculty member. It was a great experience to see how the students work through cases and was not stressful. They don't expect you to know everything so just do your best and throw some ideas out there! Good luck!

bhbusby Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I received my supplemental application about a month after I submitted my CASPA app. According to their website, "Upon receipt and processing of the CASPA application by the Wake Forest School of Medicine PA Program, applicants will receive email notification directing them to a secure website for completion of the WFSM PA supplemental application", so I'm pretty sure that all applicants get the supplemental, not just ones they want to "review further".

ltuccelli Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Does anyone know how they contact you regarding interview invites? Is it via email or through phone call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E27 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 You will be contacted by phone if given an interview, and if you accept, they will send an e-mail afterwards containing pertinent information for directions, hotel accommodations, etc. Keep your eye out for a NC area code!

E27 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Received the call yesterday! I interviewed on 10/22. Wake has a fantastic program, and I really loved seeing their PBL in action on interview day. Good luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drholmes Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hello all. I was late in the CASPA cycle. September. Trying to assure all my prereqs were done. Anyway, I have seen a presentation of the brief Clinical Problem Solving model and would love to go to WFMS! It is so very real world it is scary. Here's to a January invite... Serious congratulations to all who have been accepted. I am totally impressed with what they have to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
