<p>I was involved in school, played hockey and lacrosse, went on leadership retreat in summer, pilgrimage to italy(which i paid for myself), campus ministry, community service, work study at school.
Outside of school i played travel baseball, hockey and lacrosse
Held 2 jobs during the school year, worked about 20 hours a week
Had an hour commute to school every day.</p>

<p>I visited campus and did an on site interview, I applied ED I know it is somewhat of a stretch but I was hoping ED could help...</p>

<p>Opinions?</p>

<p>Wake Forest is a reach for you, and I think you did the right thing if you want to go there by applying ED. I would have some back-up plans if I were you though. You definitely have done some interesting things, but academically your grades, classes, and SAT's are probably a bit below average for Wake Forest. I just think if you are a Caucasian, Christian, Male (like myself) you need to stand out more, because Wake Forest has tons of applicants like you. If I were you I'd write them a letter (which I did) and just talk about your desire to attend Wake Forest and why you will make Wake a better place. I also applied ED and was unsure of my status as an applicant, but my academic accolades were more in line with Wake Forest's average. Best of luck!</p>

<p>I've been waiting for 6 weeks only to now find out after calling that my application was "incomplete." Apparently they sent me an email that I did not get. They were missing my teacher recs which I did send in, so after looking they were found in the wrong file, because I had sent them in too early. Now more waiting! Shoulda wrote that letter.</p>

<p>deferred, the committee needs additional information, including 1st semester grades.</p>
