What impressed you positively?

Everything! I really enjoyed my time at Wake and in Winston-Salem. It is a smaller town, and slower-paced than many places: this is something I really like. Beautiful scenery, nice facilities, nice students. Everyone seemed very enthusiastic and happy to be at Wake.

What impressed you negatively?

Tuition is pretty high. Also, if you like a lot of activity or enjoy city life, this probably is not the place for you.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Great area!

What are your general comments?

Fantastic school! I like the area and the people. The facilities are nice, and the students seem quite content. You will have a brief admissions and financial aid presentation, then have lunch with some students. After that, you will either do interviews and then a tour, or the tour and then interviews, depending on how they schedule you. I interviewed with 6 other students. Everyone was very friendly and supportive. The interviews will last for 15-20 minutes each, and you will be interviewed by three faculty independently. They only have access to your AMCAS essay and any Wake secondary essays. All of the interviewers were very nice, supportive, and appeared interested in what I had to say. A lot of redundant questions, simply because none of the interviewers know what the others asked you. You go from one, to another, to another, with at most a 5 minute break in between (usually less).
