Hey guys! I just finished the final step of the application which was the interview! It was definitely questions from the application and then the interviewer went off of your answers to formulate new answers! Hope we all get in (:
Hi everyone! I am also applying ED as well. To answer someone’s question earlier, they have started reviewing applications. I knew someone that interviewed and applied around mid-June and they were just accepted! Good luck to y’all 
So excited that they started making decisions!!! Any idea when your friend’s app was complete?
I think he applied around June 10th maybe? And interviews around that week. Or anytime in June before then. I am not sure but that is an estimate! I just also heard someone from NC too just got in. So about a month he waited.
Has anyone else received ED decisions yet?
I have not. I received an email saying they would start reviewing my application. That was July 13th!
How about anyone that completed their application and interview around mid June? Any good news or bad news yet?
I wonder how often they make decisions…daily, weekly, monthly? Guessing they meet as a group.
I just had a look at their application and saw there was little room to list ECs. How did you all manage that? DId you leave stuff out or add a separate page? Thanks and good luck to all of you.
They say to list five in order of importance to you. Also, they mention that you should not attach a resume. You should put what is most meaningful to you!
Anybody hear anything? Anybody in yet?
I just heard back yesterday. sadly deferred but happy to be in the RD pool. mine took about 2 weeks to hear back. if anyone wants my stats I’d be happy to give them just let me know!
Sorry you didn’t get in. Yes stats would be helpful, thanks.
I’m actually okay with the deferral so don’t feel too sorry for me the mourning period has ended but:

Sounds impressive, I am surprised you didn’t get in. Did you interview? I understand that is important at Wake. You had a very quick turnaround, I am now waiting over 5 weeks.
yep I interviewed in late June. the interview went really well and I feel was a good asset to my app. will be calling admissions on Monday to find out why I got deferred as suggested by guidance. I’ll keep you posted.
@saraaawfu You have so many great ECs. Since there is so little space on the app. which did you include and which did you leave out? You sound like a strong candidate in all ways, so wishing you the best in RD.
@citymama9 i used riding, therapeutic volunteering, neighborhood council, class cabinet/student council & speech/debate for the 5 on the actual application. My school also sends a full activities sheet with every application sent so fortunately all of my additional activities were included there. thanks for your well wishes, sending the same your way!
Where else will you apply now? I am thinking ed at Richmond or WIlliam & Mary if things don’t work out here.
@prov90 im planning on doing EA to a lot of schools as Wake is still my first choice & im hoping for an RD acceptance but my EA schools are def including Tulane, Roanoke (safety), Loyola MD, BC, Villanova, Elon, USC & Fordham. RD I’m going for BU, GW, American, Clemson, NYU, Bucknell, Colgate & Swarthmore.
