@ravensnick oh okay cool, I thought there was a chance you’d be from some underrepresented state in the midwest or something which might have been beneficial. Regardless, nice grades, solid test scores, but extracurriculars look a little bland. Just be sure to put the work into your essays because Wake cares about them a lot more than most schools. I’d say you have a fine chance.
