There isn’t one there at all. We looked all over. Really weird that something didn’t come through.
If anyone got waitlisted and is no longer interested in Wake Forest, please feel free to withdraw to help the rest of us out:)

Anyone know the time fin aid comes out?
I honestly don’t know. Has anyone heard anything?!?!
Hey guys! My financial aid came out, did anyone get merit aid?
Also have fin aid. Generous beyond expected. 5509 merit plus need based bringing below in state school . Extremely appreciative.

Wake gives very little merit $ and mostly to financial aid recipients
My daughter was WL but I honestly don’t know what to tell her. Someone else posted Wake won’t give numbers on WL. I think by now the cat is out of the bag that WLs are WAY up this year because people are over-applying. But the schools seem sort of clueless about the fact that people need to make plans. There are very few people for whom something is such a dream school that they’d drop everything in the summer to make a change.
Where was the financial aid on the portal?
Girl i need to know did your daughter get in?

I DON’T KNOWWWWWWWWWWW she won’t check!!! She’s too anxious, and keeps saying she has too much to do and can’t worry about it right now. I’m pretty sure she got waitlisted at best, especially after seeing that posted screenshot that had the “Reply To Offer Of Admission” form on the status page. Hers says “Decision Reply Form” which is sounding wait-listy to me… especially after I found THIS on Wake’s page yesterday:
THIS is why I drink.

I am so sorry. This whole process is just insane this year. This is my second child to go through the college process. My first was in 2020 - The Year Of The Shutdown - and although the whole college visit process was nonexistent, the pandemic hadn’t yet led to this glut of applicants, and so her acceptance process felt more like what I would have expected: got into all targets and safeties, waitlisted at her one reach school. Now?? Just reading these crazy posts is so disheartening… nothing makes sense AT ALL. 
S accepted, and both S and parents have been getting e-mails regarding revisit days, etc.
accepted + merit!

No emails here… THAT, I am allowed to check… Nothing from Wake since the email saying to check portal. Sigh.
Did wake post any RD admissions statistics for this year?
