Still waiting...

In NC about 2.5 hours from WF and still nothing. I am going crazy. Why is my decision way behind everyone else’s?

Call the Admissions Office immediately. There is no reason you should not have received it by now, so it may be lost. They will give you an answer over the phone. Good luck!

Ok, will do. Thank you.

I just called - turns out they were missing a counselor recommendation which I never knew because all their emails to me bounced back. They said I could still send it in and they would review my application, but is it even worth it?

That’s up to you. If you’re considering Wake, then absolutely!

Thank you Arctic Monkeys for your divine guidance. I got in.

^ Glad it worked out and welcome to The Forest!

Let this be a lesson to everyone student reading the post. Whether it be college admissions or anything else, don’t assume others will always follow up and do as they say. I used to tell this to my kid(s) all the time. In his case it was LORs and having GCs send things. Just because you ask them and they say OK, doesn’t mean you don’t check the school portal and see what’s outstanding and get involved early. most people are really busy. The best of intentions can fall through the crack, and at the end of the day, you’re the one affected. S used to always tell me, “well it’s not my fault, I did what I was supposed to do…” And I would respond with, “The world doesn’t care about fault. Great, you did what you were supposed to do, but you didn’t get X because of someone else and you could have done something about it.” Take responsibility for your future. Never leave it up to someone else!
