***I realized Wake is test optional, which is great in my case because I’m a strong believer that standardized tests don’t represent the whole student. Mainly because I am top of my class and my scores don’t represent me well because I simply cannot finish the sections. Time really gets to me.

Interviewing @ Wake in 2 weeks, any advice?

Intended Major: Chemistry, passion is medicine and intend on going to medical school.

I think you can get into UNC if you retake the SAT/ACT and do better. I wouldn’t bother applying to Columbia with an 1150 SAT… just a waste of an application fee.

Yeah, I agree. Thats why I was just looking at Columbia, I know my test scores are something I need to improve. What about Wake, NC State, and Emory? I know Emory is quite a reach as well, Ill probably stay in NC anyways. @ceilingroofgoat

I honestly don’t know. I have been out of the game for a long time. All I can say is I think you will get into UNC if you bump up your test scores a bit (and obviously NC state).
