<p>Hello everyone, this is my first post, but I've been looking on here for a while. </p>
<p>So, I was thinking of applying to Wake Forest early decision. I am a white male, junior (class of 2015) at a prestigious all boys school in Massachusetts. Just saw Wake over break and it really has everything I want (nice campus, near/in a city, DI athletics, school spirit, great academics, medium sized...), so early decision is probably what I'm leaning towards right now. </p>
<p>Now for my stats. I have a 3.96 weighted GPA right now and a 2010 on the SATs, which I am taking again this Saturday. I'm currently in 2 AP classes, 3 honors, and 1 accelerated class with my other class being a mandatory religion class. Next year I will have 5 AP classes with honors calculus. Our school is known state-wide for its academic rigor and I'd say I'm in the top fifth of my class. </p>
<p>Along with academics, I am a moderator of Model UN, an editor of the school Newspaper, and a prominent member of the Spire Society, which raises money and organizes events. Outside of school, I do a lot of community service. Last summer I was an intern at Rosie's Place, a homeless shelter in downtown Roxbury. This summer I'm working at Phillip's Academy Andover as a teaching assistant for underprivileged boys and girls from nearby areas Lawrence and Lowell. As a leader, I helped lead freshman orientation the past 2 years, I participate as a tour guide for our campus, and was a shadow leader (an incoming freshman applicant shadows you for a day before applying). </p>
<p>I believe my essay will be very good, as I am an AP English student this year, and I have a good topic revolving around my father and some of his struggles through the years.</p>
<p>I also looked on Naviance and the average GPA for early decision ACCEPTED students was a 3.89 with a 1980 on the SAT. They have accepted 5/9 applications, deferred 2 and denied 2. The average application for early decision is a 3.79 and a 1830 on the SAT. I thought this would be valuable info.</p>
<p>Please be honest with me whether you think I could get in Early Decision at Wake Forest. Thanks!</p>
