<p>I was deferred from Wake Early Decision, and I was wondering if anyone knew the percent of deferred applicants Wake accepts during the regular decision? What are my chances?
GPA 3.8 unweighted (strong upward trend)
6 AP classes (2 Junior year with 4s on both tests and 4 this year)
ACT 29 (32 Reading, 30 Math, 29 English, 26 Science)
I volunteer with underprivileged children 4 hours a week (Junior and Senior year summer and school year) participate in one sport, member of a lot of clubs, summer nanny, NHS</p>
<p>Rather than worry about percentages - you need to find out why you were deferred and see what you can improve. I would email your regional rep and politely ask if he or she can give you some insight into what they thought was lacking. They may simply want to see mid-year grades.</p>
<p>When did you submit your application and what state are you in? I have very similar stats to yours, and it is nerve wrecking every day i open the mailbox- I submitted Nov 14.</p>
<p>One thing to ask: did they send you email to tell you that you’ve been deferred? thanks for you anwsering!</p>
<p>You were deferred because you did not stand out in the applicant pool (a very competitive applicant pool) and they wanted to wait before making a decision on you. I agree with rockvillemom, contact your counselor and see what you can do. At smaller schools like Wake, your counselor will be your advocate. </p>
<p>I work at another school as an admissions counselor and certainly push harder for students I know better. </p>
<p>The good news, is that having applied ED will help you in the regular applicant pool.</p>
<p>Best of luck and don’t get discouraged!</p>
<p>Thanks for the advise! I got a letter exactly 5 weeks after my application was complete. I email my representative and he was very insightful!</p>
