How selection works
Wake Forest describes a staged process of AMCAS, secondary review, Casper and letters, interview, and offers. The requirements page gives threshold information for secondary consideration but does not publish a complete admissions scoring formula. Do not infer a probability from the threshold alone.

Interview details
Confirmed
Wake Forest’s current 2027 application page identifies a virtual interview period from August 2026 through January 2027. It does not describe the format as MMI. Wake Forest application
Not published
The reviewed public pages do not publish current station count, platform details, scoring rubric, or current questions. Follow the invitation and portal.
Who this program may suit
Wake Forest may suit applicants who want a Winston-Salem MD program with a clearly published 2027 timeline, Casper requirement, virtual interview process, and threshold guidance for secondary consideration. This is an interpretation of official pages, not a prediction of admission. Compare mission, curriculum, location, cost, and clinical opportunities with your constraints. Wake Forest MD program
Practice and next step
Use the linked practice prompt about fair access under pressure. Record a first response that states the decision principle, identifies who is affected, and communicates the next step.
Review the recording for one observable weakness, make one adjustment, record again, and compare the attempts.
