<p>ok maybe less important
but i want to get a survey of your guys opinon.
what is your perception of Wake Forest as a University.
thikning about going there and i just want to see how it is viewed.</p>
<p>with youranswer, if you guys could tell me what part of the country you're from. that'd really help</p>
<p>This is the grad school forum - you'll have to tell us what field you're in to get a meaningful answer.</p>
<p>If you're an undergrad:</p>
<p>Nationally, Wake is probably best known for basketball. Regionally, it appears to be well thought of.</p>
<p>It is VERY small and not very selective. They have close to a 50% admit rate, but only something like 1 in 3 of the admits actually attend. To me it sounds like a "safety" for people looking for a small, private school.</p>
<p>You could probably spend the $34,230 tuition better somewhere else... but there are lots of reasons to choose a school and it could be worth it for you. </p>
<p>I'm originally from Chicago but I've been in Philly for the last 5 years.</p>
<p>I agree with William C. about the college's reputation. I am from the West Coast, and until recently, all I knew about Wake Forest was that they had an excellent basketball program.</p>
<p>I met a few people from Wake Forest, however, after graduation as part of the Americorps program I am in, and they seemed to be as well-educated as any of the students who had attended better known schools such as Duke, Princeton, or Stanford. My suggestion would be to research the school and see if the campus feels right to you. I personally went to a small, virtually unknown liberal arts college and don't regret it. I have found that I had more contact with my professors as an undergraduate and that I am just as well as prepared for graduate school as my friends from Ivy League schools. The quality of education that you receive has more to do with you as an individual than where you attend college.</p>
