<p>I am applying early decision.
I am also Muslim, and I know Wake Forest seeks diversity in many aspects. I take many Honors courses at my high school. I go to a catholic private college prep school. This summer I am taking Calculus I and Physics at the university in my city. I will get "A"s in those courses.</p>

<p>I have been spending a great deal of time on my essay and I know it will be very good. Also, I am doing well on the supplement.</p>

<p>It's hard to say...I'd definitely say it's worth applying and giving it a shot. I would say Wake is a reach for you, but, that being said, many students get into to their reach schools. Make sure your essay/essays are very personal, distinguished and well-written. Also, make sure you really shine at that interview! Best of luck!</p>

<p>Wow. A Latino Muslim who goes to a Catholic school in Wisconsin? You certainly have the diversity angle nailed! Keep your GPA up and you might be OK.</p>
