Hey guys. Just wanted to let you know that unfortunately I did not get in. I just got my decision letter on my application portal. 
I'm so sad because I only wanted wake. But best of luck to you all that are still waiting and those of you that did get in!  

I did not get in either and wake was my number 1. Hard not to get discouraged. We will keep pushing towards other schools but definitely feels like a loss.

Hi! Got a denial as well. Not sure what they were looking for because honestly the interview didn't go badly. Upsetting because wake forest would have worked the best for my family and I've put so much time into this! Good luck to everyone else.

For those that did and didn't get in can I ask what your stats looked like? (GPA, experience, GRE)

I was accepted with 3.5 total years of experience, 1.5 in ICU, 3.6 GPA, 326 GRE, CCRN. No charge or committee exp because I have moved jobs a lot/traveled, but I did go on an international medical trip that I talked about in my app which I think they liked. Are you looking to apply this year?

Not this year, but hopefully in the next 3 years. I start my job in the Neuro ICU in July. So I'm just planning ahead and doing some research right now on what I can do in the meantime to stand out. I love that you went on an international medical trip! I'd love to do something like that! Just need to network a little more and find out how I could make that happen. I am coming to the CCANE workshop at wake forest at the end of the month though, so I'm excited about that.

Hi all! I received an interview for the 2025 class and was wondering if anybody had any pointers for how to study for the interview! I'm so nervous and I really want to show them that I am knowledgeable! I don't wanna focus my time on studying things that I'm not super familiar with, but at the same time I want to feel prepared. (Ie I don't know the MOA of medications down to the molecular level. Is that really something that is expected to know?)I really want to focus on perfecting the stuff that I do on a regular basis. I don't want to show up there, trying to spout off facts about medications that I don't regularly give or patients that I don't regularly see because I feel like that's not a true reflection of my knowledge base. Thoughts?

Congratulations to everybody that received acceptance to the 2024 class!

My best advice - know YOUR patient population like the back of your hand. Meds, procedures, devices, lines, etc. I can't speak to whether or not interview committees want you to know drugs down to the molecular level but in multiple mock interviews that I did, that was the expectation. Which honestly, is fair because that is the expectation in school. Show schools now that you are capable of learning on that level.

This is very helpful! Thank you for your insight! I'll definitely try to focus my time on knowing everything about my patient population. On that note, I worked adult ICU for a long time prior to switching to pediatrics. Would you recommend focusing on my current patient population or all my experience? Lastly, where did you do mock interviews? I'd love to get a couple practice rounds under my belt to help calm my nerves.
