Regular Decision 2021

I thought I would make one for us to discuss

My DD applied RD, hard waiting!

I’m so nervous, I really hope I get in!

My DD applied ED2 waiting for the black envelope!!!

When do you hear from the school? My D applied RD but I’m interested in hearing stats. Do you only get a black envelope if you are accepted?

@cloudysmom, RD acceptances are mailed (regular mail) so applicants hear around April, 1. Yes acceptances are sent in black envelopes. I hope your D receives a black envelope. I hope people use this to post their stats once they hear from Wake.

@WFUparent - thanks! If she does not get in is it not black? Just a regular envelope?

@cloudysmom, your are correct: Wake uses regular envelopes for wait listed or not accepted applicants. Good luck and Go Deacs!

@WFUparent - thank you! Good luck to you as well!

@WFUparent we were supposed to hear today if DD got in. No letter yet we are all on pins and needles. She applied ED2 and we know they have received everything. Should she call if she doesnt get a letter tomorrow?

@WFUparent she got in!!! Go deacs!!!

@Alexandrasmom that is great news. Welcome to the Forest! Go Deacs.

Thanks @WFUparent I have a question, can tge kids have loft beds in their rooms?

“As of Summer 2016, students are no longer allowed to loft their beds.”

Someone must have gotten hurt last year. Seems like an overreaction.

@wstrav I saw that!!! Im so sad! I had her room all planned!!! I dont know why they wouldnt just have guards up .

My daughter is a freshman at Wake this year. Her bed is equipped to raise and lower with hooks built in. Maybe not as high as lofting but still higher than normal. It’s hard to get them unhooked so bring a rubber mallet. Maintenance also has rails available to add to beds.

That’s good to know. Perhaps, the FAQ means no homemade lofts.

@Alexandrasmom here is a link you should look at. Page 21, item 23 gives you some insight to your question. https://www.google.com/url?q=http://rlh.wfu.edu/downloads/pdfs/guide-to-community-living.pdf&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwiXic716ZXSAhUq04MKHQvWA5YQFggKMAM&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNEdZNh_HpF97tAlalHnaibaGdZaUg

Your first year Deac will be located on the South campus.

Thank you @WFUparent !! We are so excited that she will be a deac!!! Thanks for all your help!!!

Thanks @bdlsjmo i will add it to the packing list! (Yes I already have it done!!). Its lifted but a futon wouldnt fit underneath right? I figured that would be helpful when she has friends sleep over. How does your daughter like it?
