<p>Work very hard on your essays and just try to have an outstanding first half to your senior year. Wake is more holistic in their approach in looking at applications. Your achilles heel will be your SATs, so try to work hard at them. I suggest buying the CB's book of tests and just take the tests under timed conditions and see what you get wrong. The first time I took my SATs I got an 1160 M/V which is around where you are.</p>

<p>However, Wake will be a reach for you so have some good matches/safeties. May I suggest Elon, as it is very similar to Wake (I even know some people transferring to their from Wake) and you look like a very good candidate for there. Don't give up hope on Wake though by any means. Just work on your SATs and your essays! Good luck!</p>
