What impressed you positively?

The cost of living in Winston-Salem is extremely cheap--particularly if you come from large cities like New York City or San Francisco. The Community Practice Experience is an awesome opportunity to interact with patients for a solid week after the end of each phase.

What impressed you negatively?

Orientation starts at the end of July.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Don't be fearful that the interviews are short. I was concerned that I wouldn't have enough time to sell myself in such a short amount of time. However, I learned that you can share much about yourself in 15 minutes. I did not know that the curriculum was entirely problem-based. The school no longer requires the Scholarly Project.

What are your general comments?

When you arrive at the Admissions Office, you will be greeted by a volunteer from the Medical Center Guild. My volunteer was extremely nice and had some good connections--her husband was chief of surgery at Wake Forest. You will have three interviews by three different people. I had one MD and two clinical faculty. Each interview lasts 15 minutes. The interviewers have a copy of your AMCAS application. Traveling from the Greensboro airport can be pretty expensive if you are taking a shuttle to Winston-Salem. There is a counter at the airport where you can request a shuttle. There is no formal student hosting program but you can ask the Admissions Office to set you up with a student host--if you wish.
