Hi y’all! I saw this thread for people on the waitlist for Wake Forest and wanted to give some insight to those who are still hoping for a spot. I am a senior who did get accepted off the waitlist during the last week in April. I did not answer the phone right away but they do leave a voicemail from an area code number of 336 and it does say Winston-Salem on it. I didn’t get an e-mail partly because I called them back immediately when I saw the area code on my cell’s voicemail. I am very excited to attend Wake in the fall but I understand the frustration of being on the waitlist. Wishing the best for everyone and hope this might have helped on how they notify people!

Wow congrats!
do you think they are going to send emails if we do not call back, or they just move on?
Any recent updates on movement of waitlist? Still waiting with a hope that some of us will get accepted in next couple of months
I am afraid we are into shallow water now. The trickle of waitlist movement we have seen through this chat (3 people accepted) is probably indicative of the overall percentages they needed. Very small numbers. As a result we are now into the bucket of time where the only remaining openings come from people who get in to another school and open up a spot here. Small numbers at best. I am also hearing a theme of schools that are over subscribed and are relaxed about that given the high propensity for gap years and remote options that are easier to execute now than they were 5 years ago. This only means that an Ivy spot that opens up might not really be a spot because they could have been over enrolled anyway and even if it did open up it may not trickle down.
Do y’all have any updates?
Sadly no, I’m still waiting and hoping that we get an update these couple of weeks. I’ve been trying to email them but they haven’t been answering, is anyone also experiencing this too?
