I am a junior and I will be applying to Wake Forest in a few months. I have the academics but I was wondering what kind of EC’s Wake Forest is looking for. For those who got accepted or current students, what were your EC’s?
@conscious02 my D not have a ton of EC’s, but the ones she had were all service related or in the service of others at her school, in local community and some international. Mentor/leader to 7th graders, foreign language tutor, jr coach volunteer, mostly focused on social emotional health or academic improvement, this tied into her own story, and her developing interest in perusing psychology at Wake. So her academic interest and ec’s tied into each other. Good luck!
S had a theme of leadership across multiple ECs: President of senior class (started several fundraisers that still exist to lower overall costs for prom, homecoming, senior day, etc.), Captain of baseball team, Link Mentor (helped a group of freshmen acclimate to high school), School Ambassador (for open houses, tours, presentations, etc.) Leadership in various honor societies.
Best of luck!
