<p>Hey, what made you quit football and pick up rugby? Rugby is one nasty game, dude, I am telling you. What position do you play?</p>

<p>I just really had a problem with the team. There were a lot of idiots who liked to say the team was family when they would treat their teammates like rivals. One of my teachers played rugby for the international team of Wales. He told me I should play so I tried it and got hooked. It’s a great sport.</p>

<p>And I play wing. I used to play 8 man but I was one of the faster team members to I was moved to wing so I could run with the ball more.</p>

<p>I think you look fairly strong. Being from Missouri will probably help slightly as well. Great grades and activities. I would NOT submit the 27 ACT - you know Wake is test optional. right? If you can get an SAT score of at least 1340/1600 or so I would submit it - otherwise - no test scores. You’ll need a great interview and essay, but I do think you sound very interesting and have a good shot at it.</p>

<p>Political science at Wake is a great department, btw.</p>
