Wake Forest ED2

Sorry you didn’t get accepted right away, but you probably will during RD. Do you mind sharing your stats? ACT/SAT, GPA, etc.?

@dad2017 I was waitlisted not deferred to regular decision. My composite ACT is a 32 and I have about a 4.3 weighted GPA.

Unbelievable you weren’t accepted immediately with those stats, as they are well above Wake’s averages.

@lolcollege9 My S was also waitlisted with very similar stats. He will remain on the waitlist just not sure which date to select. Let’s hope this year’s yield rate is lower than expected. Good luck!

Wake’s website says they give some preference to ED applicants, but this doesn’t seem true if they are waitlisting ED kids with such amazing stats.

Wow what state do u live in? I am just saddened to hear ED 2 kids with great stars being waitlisted. Makes me think I will get the same today or tomorrow in mail. Are waitlist letters small?

What major did u put? I wonder if major could have anything to do with waitlist?

Waitlist letters are in regular white envelopes. They have a postcard-like insert that gives it a more rigid feel than just a letter We are from Illinois. My S listed a business preference.

@lolcollege9 best wishes!!! Fingers crossed you get in!

I was waitlisted with a 33 ACT and I interviewed

@lshel2500 wow! What was your gpa? ECs? We are waiting on my daughters decision. Havent gotten it yet.

Shoot! My son was waitlisted with a 34 superscore ACT and great grades and activities. This is frustration talking, but Wake should not be waitlisting kids with 32+ ACTs, as they will likely get accepted into equally good schools before Wake decides what to do with its waitlist.

I got denied so oh well.

I was waitlisted too! Ughhh

what state?

@smd what state?

@jngu1998 what state??

Sorry was at dinner
From California ! I’m surprised if we got today everyone should have since they were all mailed feb 10 th :((
Sorry
Sure you’ll get tomorrow
Good luck

@smd Oh wow. I am from Florida, that is weird. but hopefully. do you mind sharing some of your stats?

So it seems that some wait list letters are out. Has anyone out there received an EDII acceptance letter yet??
