Hey guys! I did not really see an ACTIVE thread for regular decision and I figured there were people who probably wanted one! So here you go!
I applied regular decision in Sept. and it feels like it will be forever before I hear a decision!

Liked my essays, my top 10 list was my favorite. I wrote about scientific research for my academic essay which i don’t know if it’s gonna hurt because Wake isn’t big on that but oh well
My interview was the weakest part of my app. I was very unprepared and don’t think it went well.
Great stats. I think the essays are a very important part of Wake’s app.

@renwa I am not sure, but I expect that they would get it in early April just due to the distance
Is Wake known to be generous with financial aid? I ran a calculator and Wake is my cheapest option if they give me that amount
@renwa International students get an email I believe. In past threads they usually hear anywhere from March 23-26…depending on the year.
Thank you @ooooooolala !
