Wake Forest 2023 ED 2

I am starting a thread for ED2 applicants.
If you would like you can post your stats.
Mine:
3.81 uw and 4.3 w and 32 ACT

3.92 uw 4.1 w
1530 sat

so nervous!!

Long time lurker here. Extremely nervous comparing my stats to everyone else but hey life is short… why not make a play for a great school and see what happens. Especially since I have seen some people get accepted with GPAs below 3.0!

3.5 weighted GPA (my school doesn’t do unweighted or rank), school is unranked, 4 APs, not sending in test scores (28 ACT)/did not interview because I only recently decided to apply, but black female, URM/first generation American, great essays on threading the needle between my two identities and out of the box supplements, and really strong ECs: raised over $2.5 million dollars for charity, head tour guide, chair of the student grant board, lead a mission trip every year, 500 community service hours, student council, worked with my HS to create new programming for mental health awareness etc.

Going to roll the dice and see but keeping the faith! I know the URM status helps but guess we will see how* much it does. I have heard that the majority of Wake’s diversity comes from RD but they don’t have many ED applicants so who knows! Going to a predominately white high school and being fairly active/engrained, I at least know I would handle my time on campus well.

Good luck to everyone else! Seems like everyone on this forum is a genius and so well qualified and I know you will all do great things in your life.

@txchick515 you sound amazingly accomplished and Wake would be lucky to have you!! Keep your spirits up you never know what will happen. If you aren’t going to reach for the stars when your 17/18 then when? Sending you luck but know that you will be a success wherever you go!

Does anyone know if they release decisions before the official date based on the past?

Looks like last year most people received them (via USPS) on 2/14-2/15

gpa: 4.125
daughter of alumni
did not send SAT or ACT scores

can’t believe how close 2/15 is!!! hoping for the best for everyone

Best of luck to everyone! What state is everyone from??

NY. DId you all interview? My daughter didn’t.

Yes, my interview was very short but I felt confident! I feel her nervousness that’s for sure! Does anyone know how many ED2 applicants applied?

What does everyone feel are their biggest strengths?

I’ve had a countdown going for 50 days now… the intensity is real!!

Any word on if decisions were mailed? Thanks!

Hi @doodlebuddy!
I got my acceptance in the mail earlier today.

My daughter was accepted today…#Demon Deacon

Wow, I didn’t even know they mailed out decisions. Don’t most colleges put it on their twitter when they do? Congrats to those who got in.

That is great!! What state are you guys in?

That is so exciting!! Congrats!! Do you mind sharing your stats? Thank you!
