24

oh and i applied through common app!

25

Applied 8/5 and interview was 8/22. I had all checks right after that up until today.

26

Also applied through common app

Me too- interview the same week. I think I’ll hear end of October since they stated:
“You submit your application and application materials in late August, and later submit your request to interview; however, you don’t complete that interview until early September. You would receive your admissions decision at the end of October.” But one can hope!!

Does the check marks mean anything? I still have mine and i submitted 8/4 and interviewed 9/8.

I don’t think they determine anything.

I’m guessing we hear on Friday.

unfortunately you may not hear if your checks are still there this month since it says on their site " “You submit your application and application materials in late August, and later submit your request to interview; however, you don’t complete that interview until early September. You would receive your admissions decision at the end of October.”

I have already completed those steps. On the website it says you hear the end of the month aftee you applied ( late sept)

There is no info regarding the check marks.
Seems like a myth.

34

But you applied in Sep, so you should hear back in Oct. last year it was written that way.

Hi! I asked this question to an admissions officer when I visited a few weeks ago. The link can be confusing but essentially wake forrest will not review your application until it is “complete” including your interview. They include a list on the website saying a full application includes the application for admission, transcript, school report and the application recommendations. They state that the optional components are required for the full application if you request it meaning the interview is required as part of the full application since you requested one. It sounds like you were able to complete the first part in august, but they do state that optional components you request will also are required to be included in the same review for it to be a full application. Unfortunately that would mean the full application was not completed until September. But, admissions officers have been extremely vague about when decisions will be out. Exceptions occur I have heard of people being included in cycles when they applied after the month. This has been a weird year for my understanding so circumstances may apply. Wake did not receive anyone’s common app until the 21st and I imagine that plays a role as well. As for the check marks I do not know. In prior years people have found indications that they were about to receive their decision on their status page, so that could be it but I don’t know any information about that. There is no way to be completely sure when you will hear back. but I wish you the best. I hope you hear soon!

On the check mark disappearance issue: my daughter applied in August and completed her interview also in August (app totally complete by Aug 25) - but her check marks are still there. Technically she should hear this week but?..making matters more confusing. We should check back with acceptance/deferral/denial results bc I wonder if the disappearing check marks signal this?

Also - has anyone heard anything more about the whole “we might need more information before we can release a timely decision” thing? On their admissions blog it says that the end of the month following total completion of your app (including interview) you will receive an acceptance, denial, OR
nothing at all. Read the blog - that is sort of weird and scary. Is that a deferral officially or just being put in purgatory?

check marks mean nothing according to the counselors at my shcool
