<p>Hello, thanks for taking the time to check this out. I'm applying ED, so if I could get ED chances, that'd be fantastic.</p>

<p>here are the stats:</p>

<p>ACT: 31</p>

<p>AP's: Span- 5 Eng- 4 US History- 3</p>

<p>GPA:3.38</p>

<p>ECs listed on app: football, track, was in 2 clubs, and work; and tons of Comm. Service and will write about this in essays</p>

<p>Job/Work Experience: did finances that were really receipts at a family friend's company and also had a job there too</p>

<p>Essays (subject and responses): already started so they should be very good- on two hardships that have come down on me the last 2 years, and my dealing w/ them.</p>

<p>Teacher Recs: better than great</p>

<p>Counselor Rec: great</p>

<p>School Type: Private, does not rank</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Hispanic hopefully this helps a lot</p>

<p>Gender:M</p>

<p>Also: Took 3 summer courses at a local comm. college</p>

<p>thanks a lot guys</p>

<p>.bump. lol</p>

<p>My bro goes there. his grades were pretty low (compared to other Wake kids), so we were all pretty surprised when he got in...though he was state champ in debate (which i think really helped him get into Wake). Anyway, I'd say you have a pretty good shot of getting in. What state do you currently reside in?</p>

4

<p>oh sorry didn't write that. I live in California</p>

5

<p>is it safe for me to consider this a match if I'm applying ED?</p>

6

<p>i'll bump for my getting in ED question above</p>

7

<p>What is your weighted GPA? Are you going to visit and interview?</p>

8

<p>the weighted is the one posted, and i'm going to try to visit and interview. i'm going to the area in october, so i will try to get there.</p>

9

<p>I'd say good change at reg decision, don't know much about ED. Good AP scores and the community college classes look good, but you may want to check their policy on community college credit - not taken in some departments.</p>

<p>it's weird, it's 32 mins past the hour, yet it says that the prev. post was done 5 mins from now...</p>

<p>anywho, yeah the admissions person told me that they do not take comm. college credit for frosh. if i remember correctly. </p>

<p>and while i'm ranting, NBC is just a shame, michael phelps goes for the 3rd gold medal in less than two hours and we on the west coast get it at 10:16 pm, while it's live at the same time on the east. tsk tsk, really is unfortunate</p>

11

<p>i'll bump for if i can maybe say this is a match, reach, or safety for me ED. and watch michael phelps. and some gymnastics.</p>

12

<p>Might be a little bit of a reach with the GPA?</p>

13

<p>i think wake forest is a good patch--particularly early decision.</p>

14

<p>this is just a general question which i guess will answer a personal question, but does anyone know how good of a chance the average hispanic has at WF? 3% total enrollment, and second lowest, is pretty darn low, even for a southern school.</p>

15

<p>above question but on a scale of 1-10?</p>

16

<p>oh and another quick thing...does WF use teacher recs? i did the common app, and they don't have standard teacher rec forms on there</p>
