<p>As a well rounded, first generation college student with an outstanding class rank & GPA, and adequate SAT scores, I think that you are a match for Wake Forest University. Whether or not you are admitted probably will depend upon your application essays and teacher recommendations.</p>

<p>Bumpersss!</p>

4

<p>gpa really helps, but sat is a little weak (ACT should compensate slightly). I think you have a real good shot at wake.</p>

<p>low match IMO...good luck.</p>

5

<p>BUMP for the lastt time..I promise :)</p>

6

<p>they won't ignore your sat. No university does that.</p>

<p>Hello Stef, from a fellow Ohio WF applicant :)</p>

<p>I think you have a decent shot, but your slightly sub-par SAT score will definitely be scrutinized. At worst, it shows that you come from an inflated academic background (a 3.9 & 3-4 rank are terrific, but there will be applicants with the same credentials and 2200 SATs.) At best, they'll weight their criteria on the GPA. EC's look similar to mine, whatever that is worth XD
You definitely have a shot, but make sure you have a few back-ups just in case.</p>

<p>Best wishes in the coming weeks!!!!</p>
