what are the chances they accept anyone off the wait list?
They offered no spots to waiting list candidates last year, but, it does vary from year to year based on yield %. Plan on another college and if you get lucky enough to be offered in at Wake, it’s a bonus.
@MAhoose I’m thinking the same thing. The info pack said they don’t rank their wait list, right? I already forget what the paper said.
My college counselor is even confused about how they handle their applicants. If anyone has an idea let me know.
I think Wake will have a high yield % this year because of the scandal.
My son has not received anything in the mail and we are in GA. We were thinking he would have heard something by today.
I’m so upset, expected something today. But, Nothing in mail today in northern N.J. Wake is her top choice, she has great stats, great extra curricular, great volunteer, really is whole package, interviewed and visited. I’m hoping it is just slow mail but now I’m concerned.
2KIDS2COLLEGE - don’t read into it, it’s the mail. Happens every year with Wake. Curious as to why they don’t release on a portal like most colleges, or email. We’re in a holding pattern too (we’re near you), as are quite a few others.
@2kidz2college maybe try calling?
@Jm6844 thank you!! It helps to hear it from someone else.
I called admissions. They were very nice but don’t release decisions unless you don’t get your letter for a couple of weeks, and only release to the student at that point. My hunch is a bunch of us get out letters tomorrow. Good luck to everyone.
@2kidz2college I can’t believe you didn’t get it today! I’m in central N.J. and got it yesterday. Are you close to NYC? Maybe your post office gets much more volume of mail than mine and it’s taking them longer to sort?
My DD finally heard today, and we live 30 minutes away. So excited that she was accepted

Not sure if she will accept, since it depends on the financial aid package.
does anyone know if they are generous in their financial aid because they said they only give merit money to 3% of those accepted?

@Jm6844 thanks for the info from calling. Good luck to all of us!!!
@UGG2023 I know our mail is really slow (when family in Westchester NY which is only an hour and 15 min away send things it takes 4 days!). I just worry bc our mail sometimes goes to other people!
When will mine come to Seattle?
NJ here too and nothing in mail
Joked that maybe larger envelope takes longer to sort ?
@2kidz2college that’s so frustrating! I’m hoping you hear good news tomorrow!!
Nothing in Westchester as well.
How do people with decisions feel the interview played into their admissions result?
@collegegirlllll Wake is very generous with need based aid (100% need met). However, they determine need, so not necessarily FAFSA EFC. Actually it could be but they consider other things, home equity, business ownership, etc.
That said, if they determine you need 10k or 25k or 50k per yr, you get it (mainly in grants and scholarships, some work study, etc.)
Good luck.
