Early Decision Class of 2021

Hello:

My daughter applied early decision on July 3rd. I thought I’d get a post going to see if anyone else has applied yet and if people could post when they find out if they got in - or not. Thanks!

Hi, I applied ED on July 11th. However I’m confused. I sent my counselor and teacher the forms they needed to complete but never got an email saying that they did or that my application was fully complete. Did Wake notify you when all of your daughter’s forms were turned in by her teacher and counselor? I’d like to say that I would be finding out soon but I can’t do that without knowing if my application has even been completed yet

kmatiese, To keep track of your application you need set up an account at Window to Wake Forest. You can find this at Wakes Admissions web site. Good Luck and Go Deacs!

My daughter’s away in Nicaragua and the password / username combo she gave me isn’t working – so I called admissions and the very nice lady who answers the phone there looked it up and told me it was complete and ready for review. Good luck to everyone!

does anyone have an idea how long it takes to get a response/decision once the application is complete

From looking into last years threads it seems that 6-8 weeks was the standard, but some found out within a month.

Early decision uses rolling admissions, so there is no clear decision time. I agree with chickenlittlez that on average hit takes 6 to 8 weeks.

Got all my stuff in by the end of June, Window to Wake page said I am missing a few items but when I contacted admissions they said they had everything. Not sure why Window to Wake hasn’t updated. I guess I just have to wait at this point, the “The Waiting Place” from Dr. Seuss seems like very accurate description at this time…

Would it be possible for some of you to post academic profiles? I want to compare myself among fellow class mates

@illuminatiam, if you want some info now check out the Wake Forest Regular decision thread. That thread will give you some idea of accepted students stats. Good luck and GO DEACS.

My daughter also applied ED on July 3. I saw a few students on Twitter who received acceptance letters dated July 8 but have not seen any since then.

@clh321, remember early decision is rolling, thus there is no date for notification. The reality is your daughter may hear soon or she may hear much later.

We got home from vacation to find a big black envelope in the mail with an acceptance letter inside post dated July 28! Very exciting.

@chickenlittlez, Congratulations to you and your daughter. Welcome to the Forest! Great school. Go Deacs!

My app was turned in August 9th and was complete August 19th. I got accepted August 27th but the letter was sent out August 23rd!

My application was completed July 18th. I received my acceptance letter on the 27th as well and it was sent out on the 23rd.

Congrats MMC12456! That is great news – you must be so happy! My daughter who also got in is very excited.

I submitted my application on July 17th and received the notification that they had obtained all of my materials on July 28th. I received my acceptance letter in the mail today.

Congratulations! Welcome to the Forest and becoming a Deacon.

I submitted my app on August 19th, interviewed on August 25th, and got accepted August 30th (letter dated the 30th, but received in mail September 3rd).
