Early Decision Class of 2021

@FabulousWu Did you submit your ACT scores?

@WFUparent Will everyone receive a black envelope that states there admissions result?

@buster48 Yes.

@WFUparent Thanks a lot! I got my acceptance email on Dec.13th!

Will everyone receive email from DHL?

@Adara333, only international applicants applying from outside of the USA will receive DHL notice.

@Rayna541, congratulations and welcome to the Forest!

Hey everyone, I had a question that you guys may or may not be able to answer. I was able to place an interview with Wake Forest after the slots were filled and I recently had it done on the 13th of December. What is a good time frame from which I can possibly hear back from them?

@BMart15, If you are applying ED 1 it is usually 6 weeks, but you are very late in that process thus you could hear soon. If you applied ED 2, Wake will be mailing decisions out no later than February 15. If you are applying regular decision, Wake will be mailing out decisions no later than April 1. Good luck and I hope you get a black envelope.

My app says incomplete because I only submitted SAT and not ACT scores, but what if I’m only sending SAT…why is it still “incomplete”???

@kabell, here are some links to Wake Forest’s Admissions Blog that may help: http://fromtheforest.admissions.wfu.edu/2016/12/happy-holidays-and-final-application-instructions/ and http://fromtheforest.admissions.wfu.edu/2016/12/application-status-updates-for-fall-2017-applicants/ .

The gist of these links are that Wake could be waiting to receive your SAT scores ( assuming you checked the box for Wake to consider them) and Wake is moving away from Windows to Wake and will be emailing applicants regarding application status. Also you should take into consideration the volume of applications that just arrive and will continue to arrive over the next week. Try to remain patient as you wait for what hopefully will be a black envelope from Wake. And as aways Go Deacs!

Hi! Thanks for replying. They did receive my SAT scores, but it is marked as incomplete bc they don’t have ACT… but I am not sending ACT’s. So I don’t want my application to be incomplete since I’m only sending one kind of test and I’m unsure how to fix it since their office is closed until after the new year

@WFUparent ^

@kabell, because the office is closed no applications are being read. Further, your application is in and timely. Remember Wake is not usingWindows to Wake and will be applicants status updates (but Wake will send their decisions by US mail). Please see this Wake Admission’s blog post: http://fromtheforest.admissions.wfu.edu/2016/12/application-status-updates-for-fall-2017-applicants/ .

Please note that Wake prints everything out onto paper and then reads the application. Students are used for a lot of the printing and sorting. Students are not back on campus until the 9th of January. I you believe that Wake is waiting for an ACT score that is not coming, I would send Wake’s Admission’s an email or call them explaining what you think the mix up is. Wake admissions is understanding. Happy holidays to you and all hopeful future Deacs. I hope a black envelope is coming to your mail box.

Quick question -On the Wake Forest Application on their website they mention an essay that you have to complete on a separate page.
In 2017, Transcending Boundaries will be a defning theme at Wake Forest. What boundaries have played a role in shaping the individual you are today? How
will you engage the Wake Forest community to expand your view of the world?

However on the common app this prompt/essay is not included. If i apply through the common app do I not have to answer this question? I am very confused…

@brine225 The common app contains all the questions you need to address, likewise so does the Wake application.

For anyone who has been accepted, has your child received information regarding a wake email and accepted students day? My child has been talking to other future students and they seem to have received their own WFU email, but she hasn’t gotten anything. Any info would be great thanks!

@bagel118, welcome to the Forest! Yes your Deac should be receiving their email info. Accepted student Days are: April 7 and April 21, 2017. You will be getting info shortly. If you want more info I would go to:http://parents.wfu.edu/.
Also I would explore Wake’s web site. There is a lot of info contained there. Congrats and Go Deacs!

chickenlittlez, my daughter, who is now a junior, may be interested in applying ED to Wake. How wonderful to know before senior year that your daughter is going to Wake. May I ask your daughter’s stats. My daughter may not submit ACT score as it isn’t a reflection of her ability. She has a 3.8 UW, 4.2 W, for rigorous IB high school in California.
