....and....going for Early Decision</p>

Awards: 1-2 regional, 1 national but not a big thing, several from the high school mostly related to math and science</p>

<p>/recommendations, essays/
Teachers' recommendation: will be great
Counselor's recommendation: he knows me well, in a positive way
Common App Essay: very creative, but not sure if they'd like it
Supplement Essays: well done (this is very subjective matter though)
*Wake Forest is my #1 choice and my essays should show how much I love the college and explain with relevant reasons why I prefer WFU's Liberal Arts Education over tech specialized schools that are strong in math and science.</p>

<p>/EC's, others/
EC: Fine-Art related activity, no sport(could not handle it as an international student)
*no huge activities, no international, habitat-like things, but did something that I'm proud of.
Services: did enough but not 100's hours/month
Others: small activities, small concerts, club president, honor society thing, Science related summer camps in state university, religious camps, etc.</p>

<p>You have a good chance regular decision, not sure how ED will play out with not sending SAT/ACT - I know no longer a requirement, but not sure how this look for ED. Try to get an interview - sounds like your passion for the school will shine through. We just dropped our D off - she is a freshman - it is a great school.</p>

<p>thanks for your advice, Elizabeth90505. Can you tell me why you are not sure about how it would look for ED? I mean would there be any negative of not sending SAT/ACT for ED?</p>

<p>Congrats on your acceptance, Hucmenzu! My daughter also applied ED, without SAT's, and was accepted. She, too, scored well on her October SAT's. She had already been accepted to WFU, but has submitted the scores after the fact.</p>
