I absolutely adore Wake. I have visited the campus twice and I felt like I was home each time I stepped foot on the campus. I would really love to do ED there but the financial commitment scares me just because of how high the tuition is. So knowing that I’ll be stuck in the RD pool with some not so great stats, I’d love to get everyone’s opinion on my chances.

Girl Scout Gold Award: I started a project where people could donate their homecoming/prom dresses and I collect them all and create an event where girls with less financial means can pick their dress along with getting some deals on hair salons, nail salons and alterations. I collected over 100 dresses and I am currently trying to schedule the date for the event. I also created a handbook and gave it to the fashion club at my school so that e this event is going to be able to continue after I graduate.
So yeah, that’s me in a nutshell. I had an absolutely amazing interview with an admissions counselor the last time I was there. It went 20 minutes over the allowed time and we talked about how we went to the same state park in Indiana for years and probably ran into each other. I had a great time at the Wake Campus. I am very interested in politics so the Wake Washington program really stands out to me. 
Thank you for the taking the time to read about me and hopefully chance me!
