<p>Has anyone heard about if wake will use their waitlist this year??? and when they will call us???</p>
<p>I was wondering the same thing. Does anyone know if Wake is using the wait list this year? If so, has anyone heard?</p>
<p>they unexpectedly got their class this year so they aren’t accepting anyone off the waitlist. uhggggg</p>
<p>They aren’t accepting ANYONE off the waitlist this year? Wow, that sucks. I’m sorry to hear that you guys. Thats tough :(</p>
<p>College Waitlist thread says 10 accepted off waitlist last week. No more to be accepted.</p>
<p>Can someone confirm?</p>
<p>sportsfire, where did you read 10 people accepted and no more to be accepted?</p>
<p>Comment #237</p>
<p>Comment #249 on that same thread said that Wake Forest will be using their waitlist…</p>
<p>But that is based on post 159 so I think 237 is more recent. </p>
<p>I think the post you’re refrencing is just a list carried over from an earlier post. It wasn’t specifically changed for Wake Forest. That post was adding Yale.</p>
<p>So people have been accepted off the waitlist? I called the admissions office earlier this week and they said that they have their class and will not be accepting anymore.</p>
<p>Do you know if you are on the waiting list, do you recieve financial aid if you are accepted later?</p>
<p>My D also got waitlisted. Her weighted GPA was 4.2, ranked in top 15%, 6 AP classes, and lots of school activities and community services as a volunteer. She took the option of not submitting her test score. She had the campus interview. I was optimistic about her chance, but I was wrong at the end. It is a very expensive school. Without financial assistance, it is not an easy school to afford. Even if she gets admitted from the waitlist, she will likely not get any financial help. So, this means that WFU is out for us. I don’t feel bad at the end especially after I read bad experiences of some students along the lines of prejudice and elitisim among the student population.</p>

<p>No need to rationalize it like that, seems rather negative. Sorry it didn’t work out, but no need to slam the school. Also, it is “elitism.”</p>
<p>Best of luck.</p>
<p>Don’t want to cause any friction, but people don’t need to slam schools just because they felt like they should’ve gotten in and they didn’t. Some people have to accept the fact that maybe they were the ones who did it to themselves, not the school playing “elitist” cards on them (by the way that is flat out absurd). It’s a competitive school and although many students may be qualified, not everyone can be accepted. </p>
<p>Also, Wake isn’t ranked as a top 25 school in the US for nothing…they have the numbers to reject top students…just the way it is</p>

<p>I don’t think so.</p>
<p>4.4 W 33 ACT Waitlisted :o In at UCLA not gona send my slip thingy in. Too cool for WF anyways</p>
<p>^lol…“too cool” for a school you didn’t get into…</p>
<p>Fight me son!!</p>
<p>Guys just don’t give up…Despite getting into Wake, I was also waitlisted many schools like Vandy…It is a little bit weird this year that it seems like many schools began to increase the number of students in their waitlist, and I guess one of the many reasons is that these schools simply want to boost their yield rates, and thus raising their positions in national ranking(note:just my personal opinion).</p>
<p>My daughter was wait listed with a 34 ACT, 4.00 nonweighted GPA, valedictiorian, lots of ECs. good recs. from Nebraska??? I don’t know–no option for APs or IBs so maybe that was it. She interviewed well and visited also. She’s bummed.</p>
