<p>do great ec's, test scores, compelling personal statements, and minority status help an avg. gpa? if so, by how much?</p>
<p>(3.4ish avg)</p>
<p>well clearly they help an average gpa no matter what school you are talking about lol</p>
<p>but yeah, I got in with a 3.4 unweighted, 2160, good ec's and compelling personal statements. I'm Asian-American.</p>
<p>well how much does being a minority help for Wake? (i've heard mixed things)</p>
<p>depends. How diverse, different do you portray yourself?</p>
<p>i'd consider myself pretty diverse experiences wise. not to mention i'm hispanic lol</p>
<p>Then use the gifts He's given to you to achieve what you hope for ... portray yourself as such vs. just filling a tick box ... go get 'em. Good luck.</p>
<p>We have a friend whose daughter (minority) who got in Wake with really low scores: 22 on ACT. No atheletics, either. FYI.</p>
