@Jm6844 We’re also still waiting. We’re in Westchester County, NY and yes, I think the good packages show on Informed Delivery as “no image”. CT and lots of NJ received yesterday (as did MT, TX and CA, so the mail is clearly inefficient between NC and NY), but you’re not the only one waiting. Good luck today!
WestchesterMommy - thanks for responding - we live very close to you - fingers crossed for you (and my S)!!
Hello, I am among the MANY that were waitlisted. I’m wondering what to think as I’ve read a ton of waitlist responses but very little rejection. I love Wake and sadly I realized too late, wish I did more. My question is what does having such a huge waitlist mean for all of us?
Stats:
From Baltimore Co, MD
Female W
1st generation
SAT: 1300 (low, I know)
4 APs
Tons of extracurriculars (3-4 sports during HS, leadership roles, music/dancer, leadership volunteer experience)
Demonstrated interest: visited once, talked to counselor over e-mail and in person
Ours came yesterday. No photo no extra mail indicated. So complete surprise.
@Statsqueen I wouldn’t assume the waitlist is huge CC is just a portion of people that applied to Wake and not everyone will accept the waitlist offer. If you are truly interested and will go if they take you off the waitlist let them know that. Send a letter of continued interest to your admissions officer. Of course you need to commit to another school by May 1st but what do you have to loose? Btw you will be great wherever is lucky enough to have you!!
Last year I don’t think they took anybody off of the waitlist unfortunately. It varies year to year depending on the yield %
if you are not attending Wake Forest please rescind your application/acceptance ASAP!
- the waitlist
Accepted
From Alabama
IB Diploma Program
6 AP’s total in HS
Didn’t send SAT/ACT
Good Recs
My essays definitely helped
Has anyone been notified of a rejection yet? I feel like I haven’t seen anything except waitlist or acceptance
Maybe they don’t reject anybody, just waitlist? I’m pretty sure all decisions were mailed out Friday, so I wouldn’t worry that they mail out rejections at a later date.
A few people have been rejected.
With the “buy your way in” scandal this year, maybe Wake’s yield% does go down this year and they can let in wait list?? They did their best damage control, but, who knows how it affects acceptances??
Has there been any online communication to accepted applicants? Like an email?
Still nothing in today’s mail LOng Island NY
umbrella13, don’t think so, at least not yet. Everything snail mail/
It’s like the movie Groundhog Day Sanangelo1, frustrating. It seems like there is a delay to Westchester, Long Island and CT; though I have seen quite a few decisions received in CT and Long Island (on this thread). I wouldn’t read into it - just hope nothing shows up on informed delivery again tomorrow!!
You could always try registering for an admitted students day and see if it kicks you out…
Just got the letter in Northern Massachusetts.
Accepted!
1430 SAT (Did Send)
Several High-Quality EC’s
I spent a lot of time writing my essays, I think they were pretty good.
Visited and interviewed, also sent my interviewer a hand-written thank you note (Wake likes that kind of stuff)
White Male
Applied for FA
I’m not sure whether or not I will end up attending Wake, but it is definitely towards the top of my list!
@Jm6844 Same here…several people right in my same town heard yesterday.
Got my letter in the mail yesterday in Michigan! Congratulations to all accepted.
