I do not want to give anyone false hope, but I find it very odd that the WFU director of admissions did a post on Instagram to remind people to accept their offer before May 1. I am sure 50 people on here will tell me how wrong I am, but I just checked 15 other schools that are comparable to WFU and not one of them had a similar message.
Does anyone know how many are waitlisted
Most are sending out direct emails reminding to respond to offers by 5/1
Got called off the waitlist

Parents Group on FB is fantastic! Fill out the Family Record Form on the Wake website. Class of 2025 portal opens May 3rd.
Thanks for the heads up!!
The Family Record Form will help you and family get important emails. The FB Group has pics of all the dorms and dorm rooms, PDF files of local, care repair, doctors, dentist, and tons of other stuff if needed.
Do you mind if I ask what region of the country you are in? Because it sounds like they are calling people from the West Coast right now.
Hi all,
Does anyone know anything about the numbers? Like how full the class of 2025 is right now or how many people they are planning on admitting off the waitlist at this point? I’m not sure what else I should do. I’ve sent a couple of emails to my rep but don’t have anything else to update him on… Plus I don’t want to seem repetitive. I really hope they continue calling people in these next couple days before May 1st 
I am getting very very nervous.
Best of luck to all
I know one person from New York who got off the waitlist and another person from California who got the call as well. However I’m also from California and haven’t received a call… which makes me really scared and kinda disappointed. I’m trying to stay hopeful, though.
I have a strong feeling they will keep calling these next couple of days.
Don’t confuse this thread with the universe of people on the waitlist obviously. We all check this every day but there are only 20 users on this thread. The fact that 2 people on this thread got in off the waitlist means to me that WFU is out in full to the waitlist right now and actively trying to get their class sorted before May 1 when things will get a little more difficult as most will have paid a deposit (somewhere).

Make that 21 users now. I hope you are right about WFU out in full to the waitlist, but appreciate the positivity regardless

Sorry, I am not sure my comment was meant to be positive. I was just trying to say that if you assume a high number of our our 21 users are actually on the waitlist then 2/21 (10%) that have heard is probably a fair guess at what they are trying to fill. Then the question would be - how big is the waitlist. I would guess 500. Leaving us with 50 spots that they are trying to fill across the country. So when I say - " out to the waitlist in full" I simply mean that that the activity we are seeing or feeling is probably the extent of it. Only a fool would wait till after May 1 to try and close their gap.

You have a very good point. Considering they started calling before May 1st, it seems like they’re trying to get the class finished. I don’t think they’re sitting around waiting for May 1st either.
This may not matter, but even though the Facebook only has 921 members, the Instagram has 1,223 followers and almost every follower has Wake Forest in their bio. So I don’t think its looking too good right now. I think its time for me to start trying to get excited about another school… even though it hurts lol. I’m going to stay on the waitlist until August just in case

Update Wake is still making calls! My friend from Chicago just got the phone call offering her a spot off the waitlist 10 minutes ago! There is still hope. Best of luck to all

It’s kind of amazing that they call students in the middle of the school day.

Hey, that’s true, but I’ve heard rumors that Wake wants ~1400 students in this class (new dorm is opening + they mentioned that number during waitlist call iirc). If this is true, there’s 1238 followers on the class insta page, meaning that ~150 ppl could theoretically be called off of the waitlist. If there’s 500 on the waitlist as someone suggested above that would give someone a ~ 30% chance (150/500) for getting off of the waitlist. Keep in mind that this math is really crude and doesn’t reflect how they call based on region but the point is I think there’s a still chance for all of us.
