Waitlisted:( not accepting spot I don’t think…Congrats to everyone who got in!!!
Wait-listed. Out of state, No interview, no visit; compelling essay for program; interest in first year study abroad; 3.54/4.2 gpa, ACT 29/31 superscore; 4 ap’s (greatly limited offerings by school, but they report that they offer a lot) so so community service; lots of long term extra curriculars only 1 with leadership, no sports.
Compared to many of you, I would think she never had a chance of even being wait listed. I think it really has a lot to do with the program you are choosing. What is the competition in THAT program. At wake, her program is under a physics major instead of in engineering. I am betting looking at the engineering department would have been a worse ending.
what is wake best at in terms of academics
My D was waitlisted with a 4.1, 33 ACT SS, 32 composite, OOS, interviewed very early with good essays, plenty of AP’s. Not sure what they are looking for but she showed demonstrated interest with visit. Strong essays I thought. Got accepted to more competitive school. Unless she got merit aid, Wake is just too expensive compared to others. Undecided if she will return postcard but I am encouraging her to do so. You never know…
$65k per year (no aid) at Wake Forest or around $20k per year at University of South Carolina Honors College (OOS but received award as in state tuition and another $4k per year merit on top) … what would you do?
@wptugs if money is a major factor then go to USC. Also if You are planning on going to graduate school go to USC. It’s not worth putting yourself majority into debt.
