More on the Atrium Wake Forest med school here in Charlotte.  Biz Journal article below. 

""Wake Forest medical students will start rotations in Charlotte in March. The school received a record 11,000 applications this year, said Dr. Julie Ann Freischlag, CEO of Wake Forest Baptist Health and dean of the School of Medicine.""

sounds like plenty of students for the new Charlotte campus.  Wake Forest in Winston enrolled 1900 students in med school there.
