Unbelievable to know that the 2015 acceptance rate is 28%. I feel very lucky to have gotten in. 35% to 28% in one year I think is great for the school.
I talked with the dean at Wake, and she said that Wake, much like Vanderbilt, is becoming increasingly more selective and popular each year, and consequently, tougher to get into. I actually did get into both and ended up choosing Wake in the end. Congrats on your acceptance! You will be attending one of the most prestigious colleges in the country. See you in the fall!
