I had a lot of high hopes for this school. Unless you are really comfortable going to school in a smaller Southern town, I wouldn't put too many high hopes in this school.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why Wake Forest? Would you be happy living in Winston-Salem?
What was the most interesting question?
Why don't you want to be a surgeon? Obviously if you can play the piano you can handle a scalpel well. (because of course any piano player can become a surgeon and all)
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN
What was the most difficult question?
Why do you want to go to Wake Forest? It's so expensive.
What impressed you positively?
Most of the interviewers are nice.
What impressed you negatively?
The students said "it's okay. I only got in here, so I had no other choice." My interviewer tried to convince me away from Wake Forest because "it's expensive." He also had rude mannerisms (rolling his eyes, questioning my reasons for applying there, etc).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Winston-Salem is not a very exciting town.
