<p>did alot of cali kids apply to wake?</p>
<p>The number is growing every year. I've read that their spike in admissions last year can be attributed to HEAVIER west coast recruiting, so I can only assume the number will go up.</p>
<p>I live in Cali, and I'm pretty sure a good deal of my friends would be like, "Wake what?"</p>
<p>I guess it doesn't have the same ring as Cal.</p>
<p>We're in CA and my daughter was urged to seriously consider Wake Forest by my dad, who retired to NC a couple years ago. (He had once worked for a year in Winston-Salem.) </p>
<p>She was accepted yesterday. She was also admitted to USC and UCSB (as a Regent's Scholar) but the smaller student-teacher ratio at Wake <em>really</em> appeals to her, as does the smaller student body. </p>
<p>We were wondering how many in CA apply and if that might have helped if they're looking for "geographic diversity" in the student body...and maybe her mentioning having family in NC assured them she might be serious about going cross-country for college.</p>
<p>I'm from cali was accepted yesterday and plan on attending Wake in the fall!!!</p>
