SDN, website, info packet, friend that goes to Wake

What impressed you positively?

the use of technology in all the class settings; the small-group classes (6 ppl) to discuss a case every week; I didn't talk to a single student who did not love Wake Forest

What impressed you negatively?

town is very small, but it's an hour away from Chapel Hill and Charlotte

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I didn't know how rinky-dink the town was.

What are your general comments?

The interview experience was great. The interviewers and volunteers were very helpful. The students all seem to love it there. You meet at 945 in the admissions office, then they go over some admissions statistics, facts, etc. Then you talk with a financial aid person. After those are done, you either go on a tour or wait in the office for your 3 different interviews. Each interview is 15-20 mins, and they go by very quickly. If you didn't already take the tour before your interviews, you now go on a tour of the facilities and then your day is finished. Here's one piece of advice I have to give you all- MAKE SURE YOU EAT THE COOKIES!
