<p>You are certainly on the right track. I wouldn’t worry about anything at this point except working hard in your classes and engaging yourself in activities you enjoy. Junior year grades are the most important year of grades, so just keep up the good work.</p>

<p>You have the numbers to get in. Now you need the personality. Wake Forest receives thousands of people with the same level of extracurricular and academics of you. They need more than that; they need a creative person who truly stands out of the crowd, especially if you’re coming from the Northeast. Just be sure to have stellar supplements and essays when you apply, and you can pretty easily get in. Oh, and interview. Interview interview interview.</p>
