<p>Planning to submit my app. this Thursday the 24th, can anyone give me an estimate of when they think it'll be until I hear back? I need to have an idea of how long my stomach will be in a giant knot! </p>
<p>Typically it’s 4-6 weeks after the application is complete (including transcripts, recommendations, and test scores, if you have said you’re submitting them. At this time of year, it seems to run toward the early side. As my daughter was waiting, we wondered how frequently they are having admissions meetings – that could slow things down without having anything to do with the strength of the application. This year, acceptances are again in an 8 1/2" by 11" black envelope saying “Welcome to Wake Forest” – there’s no mistaking it for anything else.</p>
<p>thank you! @NCMom2015 </p>
