I am at the 3 week bench marker. Waiting is the hardest think ever!
Me too! My application materials were turned in on the 5th. I hope we find out this Friday! Good luck!!
Hi. If it helps, my daughterās application was fully complete as of October 6th. But she handed in her initial essays in early August, and had an interview in late August. Her transcripts went in in mid-September and her teacher recommendation was turned in October 5th. She received her admissions decision last Friday (the 23rd) at around 8 PM. Iām happy to answer any other questions. I know this is an anxiety-provoking time.

Thank you so much, and congratulations on her decision! If thatās the case, I really hope my decision releases this Friday! Was Wake a target school for her?
@ck5538 I totally know the feeling! It took around 4 1/2 weeks for me to hear back so hopefully you will hear either this Friday or next Friday! Best of Luck 
@hacbbc Wake was a target school for her, yes. Fingers crossed you hear on Friday! Good luck!
Is there anyone else who got in who felt that Wake was a reach school?
@recuemutt Yes! Wake has been my dream school since freshman year however, it was definitely a reach! I applied in mid-July and had everything sent in by my school in early August. I heard back on September 11ā¦and was accepted! I think applying in the summer and doing ED really increased by chances of getting in. I worked extremely hard on the application and did everything possible to express interest (interview, virtual sessions, emailed admissions counselors). Personally, I think Wake is very holistic when reviewing applications and is more concerned about who you are as a person rather than your test scores. Hope you hear good news soon! Do not be worried too much about it being a reach school!
@eSDCA20 Thank you so much for your response. That is really good to hear! Congratulations!!
I havenāt heard anything yet. I guess I might hear next Friday? Anybody hear tonight?
@hacbbc nope! I was hoping to hear tonight too! this is 5 weeks now?
Ugh Iām sorry! Crossing fingers for next week for both of us
Weāre at Week 5 since application was complete (October 2). Fingers crossed for a decision tomorrow!
Iām at week 5 today since everything was submitted on the 3rd of October. Hoping for a decision tonight, but understanding it could take up to three more weeks! Good luck everyone!
Yeah, Iām trying to be patient! I had everything submitted on the 5th of Octoberā¦so Iām kinda stuck between 4 and 5 weeks. Good luck guys!
Still havenāt heard back. Tonight was five weeks. Really hoping to hear back soon. The waiting is the most difficult part!
Same. This is brutal.
My son accepted tonight. His application & essays submitted on9/28 but school counselor & teacher recommendations were sent in 10/14 &10/15.
He submitted both ACT-33 & SAT 1470 (math 770 but only 30 on ACT because didnāt finish section). Interviewed in a May & did informal visit late Aug.
Hi - First time poster, long time follower. I was wondering if anyone has a sense of how long an ED decision is taking, once Wake admissions pick up the application for review?
Hi - I am a first time poster and long time follower too. I am heading into 3 1/2 weeks after everything was submitted and got a notification today also that Wake Admissions is reviewing my application. I hope to hear soon but havenāt seen anything about how long it normally takes either.
