After the Secondary Application Packet, MCAT scores, and letter(s) of evaluation are received, the completed application is reviewed by the Committee on Admissions, and candidates are invited for interview. Approximately nine percent of all applicants are asked to visit Wake Forest University School of Medicine for interviews from September through March. Academic achievement, academic improvement, MCAT scores, state (or country) of residence, and letters of recommendation are considered in selecting applicants for interview. Thus, all applicants for interview are considered competitively. By the end of April all applicants are notified of the action of the Committee on Admissions: acceptance, placement on the waiting list, or rejection. Those retained on the waiting list are considered for vacancies as accepted applicants withdraw; this list is maintained until school begins. An applicant who is accepted is asked to respond in writing within two weeks. Upon acceptance of an offer, a holding place fee must be submitted. This fee, which is credited toward tuition, is refundable until May 1. |
