Wake Forest RD Class of 2023

@mountainmama19 at least nobody on this cc feed. I’ve only received merit $ from 2 of my safety schools, I was not expecting it from my target schools, like Wake, and certainly my reach schools only give need based $$ and not merit

My son got small yellow envelope. I assume not good news. Anybody that got yes, please let me know.

Thanks

Merit and/or FA comes about a week later

@intapp23 @levelmonk I’m in Austria. Still waiting for the mail, and I didn’t get any email from WF regarding DHL or whatsoever.

DS accepted today - we’re in CT. No merit scholarship mentioned in letter. He is very happy - we visited last summer and did not do an interview.

ACT 34
GPA 3.85 unweighted
Takes all AP and Honors classes
NHS, French Honor Society, Varsity rugby, Eucharistic minister, service.

Thinking good thoughts for all who haven’t heard yet…

Rejected as predicted

When does it come out online?? I’m in CT and my mail came in but there’s nothing from wake.

Waitlisted, 3.75/4 and 1550

Honestly glad I got waitlisted, there was no chance I was gonna attend so I’m glad someone else who really wanted to go got my spot. Good luck everyone!

^^^?

Nothing comes out online for Wake. It’s all regular mail.

@ProudMominKY
Thanks for that - my daughter is at rehearsal and won’t be home until after I leave for a meeting and I’m going a little nuts with staring at this unopened mail! But it’s similar - white env which is thicker than just a letter would be. Did it indicate anything about how many are on waitlist or what your student’s placement is?

My DD was waitlisted today - from Long Island, NY.

SAT 1510
W Average: 102.8
UW: 97
7 APs - All 5’s and one 4
Good extracurriculars (varsity sports all 3 seasons, volunteering, etc)

Any thoughts why she didn’t get accepted?

Where in Oregon do you live? Im from Seattle and wondering If I can expect it!!!

@oregon511 ^^^

@kdog30 Maybe yield protection if they think she’d go to a higher ranked school? She has the stats for sure for Ivy, etc.
Did she visit/interview/show interest?

@“Southbound?” I have 1510 and similar stats and was accepted, @kdog30 did you visit and interview, meet with rep if they visited your school?

Thanks for your response @Southbound?. She visited, but didn’t go on official tour. She is upset and I am just searching for answers.

Wondering if anyone for the ED campus day email and did not get accepted today?

@kdog30 My S also from LI also wait listed, stats about the same except he took the ACT (33). I checked our school naviance, and apparently every kid who was accepted the past three years from his HS (about a 25% acceptance rate), None Attended Wake. I suspect with the bad history with our HS, they did not bother. I am just guessing as it could be anything but your D will be fine, bright well rounded girl.

@kdog30 I was told Wake does track interest heavily so if you visited but didn’t sign up for official tour and interview then they wouldn’t know you’d visited. That being said, I have 3 rejections (including 1 ivy) and am waitlisted at 3 schools
