<p>Hello, </p>
<p>I visited Wake Forest University a few days ago, and I completely fell in love with it. Wake is a place that I really want to go to for college, but I'm worried that I don't stack up well against other kids who are going to apply.</p>
<p>I just finished my junior year at a catholic school in Columbus, OH, called St. Charles Prep. If anyone on here is from Ohio, they have probably heard of it. My school is considered to have the most difficult curriculum in the state. Does Wake Forest look into this? So far, I have only been offered 2 ap courses, and I took 1 of them. I keep seeing people around here who took 10 ap classes, which sounds a lot better. However, I honestly think that my regular math classes and honors science classes could go up against any ap course around.</p>
<p>Anyway, I only have a 3.52 gpa. However, this still puts me in the top 25% of my class of 170 kids. The good thing about this is that I do not have many ap and honors courses to inflate it a little. I got a 1990 on my sat (first try) and 28 on my act (first try). At the information meeting, the representative said that Wake looks strongly at writing skills. I got a 720 on the sat writing, and I plan on going into journalism or something like that.</p>
<p>Sorry for rambling, I wont go into great detail about the rest. I volunteer at the First Tee golf charity, I played 4 years of golf (3 on varsity, 2 state championships), CYO basketball, school newspaper, and 16 other service hours not at the first tee.</p>
<p>So obviously I'm not a genius, and I'm not the best in my class. But will good writing skills be attractive to them? Honestly, there aren't a lot of guys around here that like to write and write creatively. Maybe a great essay and a good interview could go a long way.</p>
<p>Thank you for any responses. Even if you dont think I have a shot please tell me, I wont give up ha.</p>
