Wake Forest Class of 2025 — Regular Decision

Seriously?! The very last week of March now?! Did they announce this somewhere recently?

My stress level is going to go barreling through the ceiling between March 20 and May 1st.

It was in an Instagram comment

I am not sure why they were over by 100 students. My daughter who is a freshman received a letter in May asking students if they would want to defer for 1 year due to the pandemic. We were not interested, and she is finishing her freshman year. They count on a “melt” over the summer where students who have given deposits to reserve a class seat have a change of heart and go elsewhere. The “melt” was significantly less than usual, and the enrolling class of 2024 is the biggest by far. Due to this and the pandemic, housing and scheduling were tough this year. Our other daughter who is a senior never had that issue. I am not sure how this will impact admissions this year. Overall, the school has handled the pandemic very well, and the students were able to stay on campus and have some, albeit different, college experience.

Oh okay. Thanks. My impression was that a student can accept only one offer and he has to do it by May 1.

I understand. The only thing I was not able to comprehend before was that how a student would accept after May 1. It is clear now. Thanks.

any idea on what day decisions will come out?

Could it be this Friday?

@laritalara @jpga13 No, not this Friday. If you read a few posts upthread, you will see that Wake announced via instagram comment that decisions will be released some time between March 28-31

Does Wake Forest release online or by mail? I heard it might be by mail.

Online, usually around 8pm. For ED it was in the portal way before the email though.

WOW! That’s so far away…

I was accepted ED in the fall. Does anyone know when they are going to release scholarships/merit?

I think either when RD comes out or early April… the website says early April but it says the decisions for recipients are made in March so I’m not sure

Merit-based and talent-based scholarship selections are made in March. The Office of Merit-Based Scholarships notifies selected recipients in early April.

That’s from the ED Portal. I’ll ask tomorrow when on campus.

Anyone else see the admissions office Instagram post??!

weird considering that they said the last week of march

That’s what I was thinking, now I’m wondering if they meant last full week or they got done earlier.

What did it say?
