Anyone hear any news about Wake? Maybe how many were accepted? Committed? Waitlisted? I wish they could give numbers. Are people committing to schools or waiting to see if wake calls at the end of this week/next week? Wake started calling people April 22nd last year. Because of the late RD decision release I don’t think it will be tomorrow. But, starting next week/ end of next week might bring some calls. I figure Wake tries to call before May 1st so they get straight answers (and typically more Yeses). Can people lmk here if you hear of anyone getting off the waitlist or if you were offered a spot?
I’ve just heard that a lot of colleges are going to start offering spots to their waitlist before May 1st. Bucknell specifcally has started offering spots and since Wake has in the past I’m assuming they will too
Hopefully Wake does also. The portal for class of 25 doesn’t open until May 3rd so those accepted off the waitlist won’t be behind or at a disadvantage.
I just got off the waitlist today! Hopefully more calls will be coming out soon!

Awesome! Congrats!
Did they call? Email? I’m sure others who are waiting would interested.
Yes. I got a call from the 336 area code and ai got a follow up email within about 15 minutes of the call.

Congrats!! Did you send any LOCI?
Thank you! Yes, I sent two follow up emails to my admissions counselor saying that Wake was my first choice and updating them that I was a finalist for a scholarship fund.

So awesome!!! Congratz. i’m currently touring schools so hopefully wake can call before may 1st as well. did they give you any information. maybe numbers or like anything idk.
Congrats on getting off the waitlist! My daughter was accepted RD to Wake but chose to attend our state school to save money. She gave up her spot yesterday. It makes me so happy knowing her spot may have gone to someone on the waitlist

they didn’t give any sort of information, but I’m hoping it’s a good sign that they started letting people off so early
Do you know what time they called at? Or what time they have historically called at?
They called me a little after 8:00 pm eastern time, which is 5:00 pm my time (California).
Do you guys think they will continue to call people for the next couple of days? Or break it off in sections? I haven’t got a call and I am so incredibly anxious
Me too. From what they said in the waitlist meeting and just they days that they have given phone calls before it seems like it happens daily, but im not entirely sure and this is all speculation.
I am amazed at how balanced and smart people are on these threads. To be honest, we have no way of speculating what is happening in these admissions offices. I would assume all of their algorithms are entirely broken given what a weird place the world is in but who knows. You also know that the cost of admitting too few people is fixable - the cost of admitting too many is catastrophic.

Just had a question. Did everyone receive a spot on the waitlist? Or are there separate people that were rejected, accepted, and waitlisted?
There were definitely yes, no and maybe.
