<p>I just looked at the supplement for the 2009-10 admissions and was slightly intimidated by it, so I was wondering if I even have a chance of getting into the school. Any feedback helps.</p>

<p>White female from top public school in NY.</p>

<p>My weighted average is 87.78, unsure of unweighted, they don't tell us.</p>

<p>SATs
CR 640 M 670 W 700 = 1310/2010
USH 650, LIT 630
I plan on taking Math 1 & 2 in the fall</p>

<p>Taking ACT in the fall as well.</p>

<p>As for my classes..
Honors english sophomore year
APUSH, AP ENG LANG and AP US GOVT junior year (All 3s :/)
AP ENG LIT, AP COMP GOVT and maybe AP STAT senior year
I'll have 4+ years of social studies, 4 years of english, science, and maybe math depending on if I get into the AP STAT class (they cut the regular 4th year math class due to budget cuts), 3 years of language & various other courses</p>

<p>Also, I'm currently taking a college psychology class</p>

<p>ECs
I've done cheerleading since my freshman year, and I've been captain since junior year
Senior Class Coordinator of SADD, joined junior year
Key Club junior year
By the end of the summer I should have around 100 community service hours from various places, including a trip to New Orleans
I interned with a judge last summer, and he wrote me an AMAZING rec letter
I just got a job working at the front desk of NYSC, and I've been babysitting for years
I taught for a day at an underprivileged elementary school</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Hmmmm… your GPA is a tad low, but your SATs look good, and they hardly look at ur AP scores do don’t worry about those (although it wouldn’t hurt to of gotten a 4 or 5) I’d say you have fairly decent chances. good luck!</p>

<p>I think Wake Forest will be a reach for you. Your GPA isn’t the most impressive and your SAT’s are below the 50 percentile. You have a bunch of AP’s so that is good. Just work on your essays, get goods LORs, take the SAT’s again if possible, do really well fall semester, and if you have your heart set on Wake Forest–apply Early Decision.</p>

<p>Thanks guys! I also hear that the interview is basically the most important thing… is that true? Or at least that it’s extreeeemely important?</p>
