<p>i have no ties to wake forest but students from my daughter's high school class were accepted to wake forest and your stats look similar to their stats.</p>

<p>I go to Duke and your stats seem more impressive than half of the student's here. You'll be fine.</p>

<p>You're fine for Wake.</p>

<p>Yeah, my bro goes to wake. He had a 1330 (m+v) and not as many ECs as you, and he got the Poteat Scholarship. I think you will get in no problem.</p>

<p>So yeah. Just make sure your school sends in their part, mine sent in my transcript three weeks later than they said they would. </p>

<p>well youve got more impressive stats and you applied really early so that makes accepting you pretty easy. Im just stressing out because i still havent applied to any other schools and my gpa is so low. if i had the equivolent of a 4.9, i would feel better about my chances. oh well, i should find out in about 2 or 3 weeks...</p>
