<p>*RECS: * GREAT nothing really negative</p>

<p>Essays: Excellent but not spectacular </p>

<p>Additional information- MOST IMPORTANT wrote two essays</p>

<p>In my junior year I had to take care of my brother – 1st grade, mom worked out of state due to economy in the housing market, dad had to work evening hours until midnight – lasted until April- GRADES effected big time, effected AP scores- everything went bad to turn it around- I took 7 ap classes 1 hn senior year, 1 hn class over summer w/ 2 programs. </p>

<p>I also have stuttering which affects me everyday- this should make me stand out…</p>

<p>Have backups, Wake Forest is a reach for you.
But it certainly is within the realm of possibilities, because you have an interesting background.</p>

<p>but aren't act/sat scores not considered anymore, i applied common app i did common supplement- i think i did pretty good, plus i did a online written interview- it went ok.</p>

<p>oh, i forgot to add i applied as an international, and i didn't apply for financial aid</p>
