Hi there! I was hoping if someone could chance me getting into Wake Forest and getting one of the merit scholarships. Any input would be greatly appreciated!! I am applying Regular Decision in the middle of October for Fall 2016 as an incoming freshman. I love Wake Forest, but would only be able to go if I received a large sum of money… I would be pre-med with major in biophysics and minor in linguistics. I am also from the West Coast, if that helps any. Thanks!
