Is the merit aid that might be announced soon just for ED1 and ED11 or for regular admission students as well?

Has anyone heard about merit?
I was told on Wednesday by Wake Admissions that they had sent “what they believed were all” of the invitations for their 2 merit weekends so my son was not a finalist for their big awards. I don’t know if the, “what they believed” part was in case a few declined or not. Just know I asked about my son specifically and was told he wasn’t a finalist. They said they also give merit with their decision letters to some but from what I understand they are smaller ($5-$10k) and geared toward the arts. I’m not 100% on that, but just know we needed a big one to make if affordable.
Did ED2 come out yesterday or will it be closer to the advertised date of 2/15?
It came out yesterday

Happy Sunday all!! I’ve gotten a few emails about Wake’s summer immersion program. It says it’s for HS Juniors and Seniors. Curious if anyone knows if this would impact my chances of admission at all. The site says it’s not a factor but I am curious what the Wake CC community thinks.
Thanks!
Like a lot of comparable private schools, Wake is super big on demonstrated interest. The immersion program probably won’t carry a lot of prestige for other colleges, but my bet would be that at Wake it would go a long way in the admissions department as far as demonstrated interest is concerned!

I applied to Wake Forest Regular Decision, and I received a notification that I was a finalist for the Presidential Scholarship. Does anybody know if being a Presidential Scholarship finalist has a meaningful impact on whether you are going to be accepted into the school? Does that mean you are already in?

Seems early for that but maybe it’s a good sign.
I don’t see any reason why you won’t be accepted. Very small % of applicants to Wake receive scholarships.
Has anyone received scholarship notifications?
Congratulations on being a finalist. There are only 20 Presidential Scholarships awarded, so that’s a high honor. You’re in the accepted pool.
Did you receive an email about the scholarship or just look on your portal? Thank you
Also, my son sent his mid year grades via parchment and it says they were downloaded by the college in January. In his portal, mid years grades do not show up. Can anyone see mid grades received on their portals?
Im a student awaiting RD and called about midyear grades. Admissions said they often do not show up with other materials. You could call just to confirm theyll pull them up and youll know.
Can anyone share the admission portal link…I think my daughter is using the wrong portal as it doesn’t have a checklist.
Last year that had a thing on the portal where you could upload other docs and see they were uploaded.
