<p>Hi,
I applied regular decision to Wake Forest (now of course wishing I did early decision...). Do you think I have a chance at getting in? I know it's a reach, but I absolutely love the school and am praying at this point that I get in!
I have an A- average, which translates to around a 3.93 GPA at my school. I've taken all Honors and AP courses and always done well. I'm not submitting my SAT scores. I've done a sport for 4 years (Varsity volleyball). I'm an annual team captain for an organization that fundraises for cancer research-top 3rd fundraiser last year. I have been an active pony club member in the USPC, established my C2 rating, and have been riding and owning horses for my whole life. I've been a Lifeguard all throughout high school and have actively held that job during school/riding/volleyball/summer/community service/everything else. Top 15% of my class, member of the National Honor Society...and this year I'm taking:
Honors Calculus AB (B+)
Honors English 12 (A-)
Honors Anatomy (A)
Honors Contemporary Issues (A)
AP Statistics (B+)
AP Studio Art (A)
Those are my grades so far for this year. I applied to the exercise science program, so I was hoping the science and 2 math courses might help out. My interview seemed to go well and I've visited the school a few times, even though I'm from New England.
So what are my chances? I know it's a huge reach...I just really want to go there. Also, what's the deal with appeals? I'm thinking of appealing it since I'm guessing I have no chance at getting in...but I don't know much about them.
Thanks!</p>
<p>Oh wow, I never knew Wake Forest was that hard to get into. When I was researching Wake Forest, there acceptance rate and average SAT and such seemed pretty average. If those stats, I’m pretty sure you’ll get in no sweat!</p>
<p>BTW, I’ll be sending an App to Wake Forest as well.</p>
