<p>Hmm... your chances aren't very great but you definitely have a shot. I don't think many minorities apply to Wake, so they might snatch you up the first chance they get. Did you apply EA/ED to Wake? What state are you from?</p>
<p>I applied RD, I'm from Georgia. I would say that Wake definitely needs minorities. On my visit I only saw like 4 black people, not counting the basketball team.</p>
<p>Haha, I guess minorities are endangered species at Wake. I qualify as a minority and I have seen a quite a few others. There's a black girl here that I know back from HS and I think she had similar stats as yours, but she was from NC. Let us know how it all turns out!</p>
<p>Thanks for replying emsibdn. I'm gonna be a nervous wreck until April!</p>
<p>I would guess that your chances are probably better than 'not very great'. Wake definitely lacks minorities, so it seems you have a very good shot, not that you wouldn't if race was not an issue.</p>
<p>Haha, no problem GArunnergirl. What I meant by not very great was stats-wise. I don't think WF gets many minority applicants, so that should boost her quite a bit.</p>
