<p>Your stats look very similar to my son’s. He’s in the RD pool, too, but bypassed ED. </p>
<p>Son has a full-ride outside scholarship at stake, so he made a gentle request for an expedited admissions decision. There’s been no reply to that. But, if he hears anything, I’ll let you know. </p>
<p>Since Wake is now standardized test optional, it apparently does not report the mid-range SAT scores of its admitted students. I imagine that its ranges were pretty close to those of the College of William & Mary, whose middle 50% scored 1260-1430 on critical reading + math. (ACT midrange composite is 27-32.)</p>
<p>If I were in your shoes and had scores in these ranges or above, I would certainly submit them to Wake, particularly since you were deferred from ED to the RD pool.</p>
<p>darn! i’m sorry to hear that you were defered. looks like there’s no chance for me :(</p>
<p>i have a feeling that Wake is “SAT optional” only on paper. I’m sure test scores are still taken heavily into account, since a lot of applicants submit them anyways. If you don’t submit any, they MIGHT assume that your scores are well below average. </p>
<p>Hmmmm yeah I guess I should be sending off my scores. They’re not terrible by any means but they’re definitely at the lower spectrum of the 1260-1430 range. But thank you all for your help! And good luck to you highoffyou. You never know what theyre looking for so dont let any of these threads make you lose hope. </p>
<p>If you guys would like me to chance you too, could you post your stats here? it takes forever to scroll through all of the posts and find your original one! thanks!</p>
