<p>I got accepted to Wake Forest off waitlist. However, I haven't been able to make a decision between Wake and the school I already deposited for.</p>
<p>Anyways to make this simple:
- What's the quality/availability of Wake undergraduate research opportunities?
- I've heard good things about the business program, but what about the biology/computer science major? Neuroscience minor?
- Same thing, I've heard that Wake has good connections for business but what about bio/compsci/neuro?</p>
<p>Some misc. questions:
- What is the "Interdisciplinary Major" on their website (it just redirects me to a "not found" page)?
- How are the dorms and food?
- I've been an A/B student throughout high school, will this stay the same at Wake? I'm particularly concerned about Wake's infamous grade deflation.</p>
<p>And I think that's it. Thanks in advance for any replies!</p>
<p>What did you decide?</p>
<p>Nothing yet :\ I have until tomorrow morning…</p>
<p>Hi @Fleuret:</p>
<p>It is a little hard to compare Wake to another school since we do not know what that school is, but I’ll do my best to answer your listed questions.</p>
<p>From what I can tell, there are numerous undergraduate research opportunities, especially for the sciences. I am a business major so I can’t really go in depth, but many of my friends are involved in summer research programs through Wake. </p>
<p>The food here COMPARABLY is great. Is it a culinary masterpiece? No. But it is edible and there are lots of options, including for vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-free students. There are going to be more on-campus food places next year than there are now (including another dining hall) but I have never really had an issue with the food, and I am a very picky eater. The dorms are alright; no better or worse than most other college dorms. I’ve seen campuses with awful dorms and with great dorms - Wake is neither. They are, however, building new dorms right now, and those should be really nice.</p>
<p>How your grades will fare depends on how hard you work! Also, being an A/B student at a competitive high school (I’m sure you were) is different than at a non-competitive high school. Generally speaking, if you put in the study time, you will be fine here. I was an A/B student in high school and I am an A/B student at Wake. </p>
<p>I wish you luck with your decision!</p>
<p>@fleuret- can you tell me where you are from and some stats? I am also on wait list and hoping to get off too!</p>
<p>Pinkcupcake: thanks a lot for your answer! Your advice was very helpful and I did end up accepting :)</p>
<p>Frogshollow: I’m from NJ, I submitted SAT/ACT (2030 and 32 respectively), my grades were for the most part A/Bs in a lot of AP/honors classes. I did actually send them a letter after I was put on the waitlist expressing my interest and such, so if you haven’t done that yet I would advise you to send one!</p>
<p>Congrats, Fleuret! I’m sure you will love Wake, I did when I visited. Have you visited?</p>
<p>Thanks pinkcupcake and Frogshollow! Yes I did visit and I loved it as well 
although it wasn’t my first choice I am definitely excited to be going!</p>
