Wake Forest 2023 ED 2

DS got his 8x10 acceptance packet today. The window on the envelope (below his address) said “Dear A, You did it”

I guess that’s so the parents can control themselves and not rip it open.

State: CT
GPA: 3.8 uw/4.3 wtd
SAT: 1510
ECs: Martial arts 2nd degree black belt
Rigor: 3 APs junior year, 4 APs Senior Year

In addition to the acceptance letter the envelope had a Deposit card ($500 Due 3/1, online deposit available on 2/15) and two pages of school stickers.

@citymama9 I thought I heard that financial packages for ED2 come in sooner (before the deposit due date…?). I tried looking on the website for when it would come in, but had no luck. If anyone knows for sure, that would be great!

@citymama9 thank you!! Neither of my parents are home this week and I am overwhelmed with joy and thankfulness! and @panda522 @citymama9 I agree, I don’t know if I can go until I see the financial aid package. Does it come in the mail or do you view online? CONGRATS TO EVERYONE ACCEPTED! @citymama9 how did your daughter react?

@doodlebuddy She was beyond thrilled:) I think I heard that FA letters should be coming soon. Hope it works out for you

Here is what is posted for Financial Aid. Hope this helps:

Admission Option Aid Application Completed By Aid Notification Mailed
Early Decision November 15 mid-November
Early Decision II January 1 mid-February
Regular Decision January 1 early-April

@citymama9 My apologies, I had RD in mind when I answered the question. I am trying to get an answer as to when the ED2 Financial Aid packages will be released.

For those who met the Financial Aid application deadline of January 1, the ED2 packages should arrive around the 15th of February.

Have those who were accepted seen it on their portal too?

No, nothing appears on the portal after all of the green checks for a completed application

I just emailed the financial aid office and they said that the EDII financial aid packages will arrive in the mail next week!

do they all get mailed out the same day? My D is in Georgia and hasn’t heard anything yet. Do acceptances go out before denials??

I’m in NJ and have not received my letter yet. Wondering the same thing.

Haven’t gotten any letter from the school in South Florida, stats are 4.18 weighted and 33 ACT. Was wandering if anyone got their letter from FL or any state near it.

I love that “Crying in the rain” comment. Made me tear up just reading it! Congrats to all who got good news and Welcome to The Forest! You’re going to love it!!

@rickle1 thank you:( I’m still so thankful and shocked it’s unreal. Congrats to everyone who got accepted and best of luck to those still waiting! My parents always told me I would never become anything and that they hoped I wouldn’t get into any college, so seeing that was really really special. I’ve worked so hard and I never thought I would be able to do this. It’s a new beginning full of possibilities. Thank you Wake Forest!

@doodlebuddy Huge Congratulations!! I’m sorry you haven’t gotten the support you needed but you will get it at Wake Forest!! Welcome to the Forest…Go Deacs!!!

Congrats to all of those accepted!! Welcome to the Forest <:-P

Was anyone here waitlisted? Does anyone have advice for a waitlisted applicant?

@Doublekk2 send and email and show your continued interest to the school also if you have any updates to your application let them know.

@lbf Thank you! I was also wondering if anyone knew of others who were waitlisted. Thanks, again!
