What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about your research.
Where do you see yourself in 10-20 years.
Why Wake?

What was the most interesting question?

Nothin too intersting as far as questions go. No ethical or moral dilema questions (lucky me). One was interested in whether I thought I'd miss Charlotte (my current location).

What was the most difficult question?

Why medicine. (that one is always hard to give a complete, concise answer to)

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Didn't, really. It was my 3rd med school interview of the season, 2nd that week, so just showed up.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are very nice. It's apparent the difference money can make. The students seem very intelligent, and more importantly, happy. Very nice place to study. Cheap apartments, too.

What impressed you negatively?

$46,000+ annual student budget. Ouch!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

At the point of interview, you have statistically about a 50% chance of either getting accepted or pulled off the waitlist. And there are about 20 full tuition scholarships for NC residents.

What are your general comments?

Wake's a very nice school. It would be hard to decide b/t WFU and UNC. The only thing leaning in UNC's favor is the 20k+ I would save per year going there. All in all, though, I would probably pick WFU over UNC. (these things really are anonymous, right?)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
