<em>I can get some great letters of recommendation, my teachers love me</em>
<em>In lieu of SAT's, I think Wake makes you submit two essays to be judged, and I am a great essay writer, so keep that in mind</em></p>

<p>Be honest with me, I know I probably could use something else extracurricular wise, but I'm just not sure really what Wake looks for, no one from my school (or friends from other schools) ever apply to Wake, and I'm kind of curious.</p>

<p>And don’t judge me for spelling “Wake Forest” with two r’s…it was a typo I cant change.</p>

<p>380 views and no replies? Anyone?</p>

<p>Try for it</p>

<p>Definitely try for it :)</p>

<p>Yes, give it a shot.</p>

<p>I think you can get in, if that means anything.</p>

<p>Lol, well that was a better response than I was expecting. I’m just a little intimidated by Wake I guess, since its a top 30 university and all.</p>
