<p>from Wake’s web site:
Each year Wake Forest awards merit-based scholarships to less than 3% of its first year applicants</p>
<p>Wake has an extremely competitive applicant pool, so I would not count on getting any merit aid from them at all.</p>
<p>You have great stats, and I think you’d get in, but I would be surprised if you got any scholarships (merit-based) at all there. However, there are many schools where you would get merit aid. I’d focus your attention to the merit-aid threads on the financial aid forum for ideas, if merit aid is need to afford school.</p>
<p>A 32 ACT equates to the low 1400s on the SAT, and Wake’s average SAT is mid-1300s. I agree with Paperplane - I think you’d need to be in the 35 range to be competitive for merit.</p>
