I was called Wednesday and accepted as well! Did your CollegeNET change immediately to accepted and provide you the ability to pay the fee? Mine hasn’t changed yet.

Congrats! It was a very long almost-60 days to get to this point. They called me while I was at work on Wednesday but threw me a curveball and asked if I'd like to join the Fall 2022 cohort. I wanted to get personal details in order before giving them an actual response and emailed them back this morning. 

 

To answer your question, yes, pretty immediately after I sent my affirmation email. But I imagine they'll want my deposit ASAP since I'm starting sooner than anticipated

Okay, that makes sense. I sent an email asking how long it normally takes for CollegeNET to change, but have not received a response yet.

Both of the people I emailed said it could take upwards of a week for the letter to show up in your portal

Okay. Yeah, it may just take a while for the portal to show anything. I’m excited to start though! Wake has been my top choice for a long time!

I was hoping to make a facebook page for those accepted. It’s a ways out before the start, but could offer us a way to communicate before the start of the program!

I look forward to meeting you all!

Anyone know if this is too late to apply? Like if they have the majority of the spots already taken or if they gradually fill through the Summer? I feel like most schools apps are due in Aug-Sept so I was hoping if I applied by June it would be a little in the earlier end, haha.

I applied in late April but have yet to hear anything back! I’m assuming since it’s rolling admissions it’s not too late to apply.

You should have plenty of time. WFU is rolling admission. I’m not sure how many exactly have been accepted.

I don't think it's too late to apply, as others have already pointed out WFSOM is rolling admissions, from what I've seen they hold interviews once a month. I submitted in December and didn't hear back about an interview until February. It took almost the full 60 days for them to get back to me with an offer, so if you land an interview, expect a long turnaround time. Best of luck!

Tracks for the info! Can you shed any light on their interview process? (Types of questions, virtual/in person, etc)

also maybe your stats?

Their interview is a total of an hour divided into 3 "rooms". You get 15 minutes in each, they cover clinical stuff, personal/job interview-esque questions, and a more laid-back get-to-know-you room. The way they did it for my group was three people cycling through the three rooms, and there's like a moderator making sure you get in and out of each room on time, so my advice would be to practice making your responses concise but thorough. And get up in between each room and shake it out. For your clinical room, they send a pre-questionnaire asking what kind of patients you take care of and base your clinical interview off that, so make sure you're comfortable talking about whatever you mention in your responses.

I'll DM you regarding stats (=
