@meremere28 Do you mind sharing stats? We’re hoping to hear next week. Hope RD turns into an acceptance.
How long does it usually take for decisions to come in the mail after you’ve submitted your application?
Just wondering if anyone has heard back from Wake on an ED application and how long it took from the time the application was considered “complete”.
My son applied Aug 4, his high school got everything in Aug 17. Of course, still waiting. Cooopp37, can you advise if the acceptance came in the 8 1/2 x 11 black envelope as described in past years?
Has anyone heard their decision on ED recently, and if so how long was the wait? We are on week 8 and nothing yet. Thanks
Nothing yet.
It seem like acceptances are hearing sooner than deferrals? I guess that could just be a couple of anecdotals. Anyone else hear that submitted in June?
Their decision process may be delayed a little due to Hurricane Florence. It has been just over 6 weeks for me.
DS interviewed in June and submitted the Common App on August 3rd. His high school submitted its part on August 7th and the Wake portal showed that Wake downloaded everything on August 14th. Acceptance letter dated September 10th and envelope postmarked September 12th.
Very excited! Go Deacs!
Congrats! For people referencing the Wake portal is that bc you did the Wake app? For common app there is no wake portal. Is that correct?
@Southbound? - the Wake portal is available to applicants who apply through the Common App. On the day that my DS’s application was downloaded from the Common App by Wake, he received an email from Wake with the subject line “Thank You for Applying to Wake Forest University” and in that email was a link to the Wake portal and a user name. The portal showed the status of what had been received and if anything was missing (nothing was).
Good luck!
So weird. Never got that email, but called last week and they said app was complete and gone under 1st review (have no idea how many reviews it gets!).
Do you mind sharing your son’s stats?
A few days after submitting the common application, I received an email with a link for the Wake Forest portal which shows status of all of the materials they need to receive for my application to be considered complete.
One question for those who have worked with the portal. How long did it take for Wake to acknowledge the materials after your school sent them? My school sent all together and half the items are showing as complete and half are showing as missing (like transcript).
There is another string that has this information if you search Wake Forest ED.
How long has everyones admissions decisions taken (day sent to day with acceptance/deferral/rejection)? Include your decision if you want too!
I sent in my application last Friday, admissions from Wake said I should hear back by the end of October. Comment below about yours!
My son heard today from Wake. He got in ED. Letter is dated 9/17, mailed 9/18, received today in LA 9/22. Very excited and relieved. Comes in the 8 1/2 x 11 envelope with maroon, tan, and blue people on it just like the book they handed out at campus tours.
just to refresh everyone’s memory, he submitted WF application on 8/4, but his school did not submit their part until 8/17. He received an email on 8/21 saying his application was complete and under review.
Congratulations to your son!! Very exciting. My S received his ED acceptance today, though it was actually mailed on Sept 12. Hurricane Florence slowed down the mail by a couple of weeks. He submitted his application on August 25, so it took about 3 weeks. Seems like the amount of time varies. We are so excited!! 
Good luck to all.
