<p>You look good. Your SAT's are fine right now, and if you improve all the better. Take some AP's next year, and stay active with your ec's. I'd suggest visiting Wake this summer for a tour and interview, as interest is very important to them. You may want to consider applying ED, which you can do in the summer. Just keep up the good work.</p>

<p>go Subway! and go you.</p>

<p>if you really want to get into wake, concentrate your efforts on doing well on the SAT's. Wake doesn't look at ACT scores when you apply for admission.</p>
