You seem to be in great shape! Your ECs are great, especially all of the volunteering and service. Your GPA is so so and I would load up on APs next year but it still isn’t atrocious as is. You have competitive SAT scores,although Wake is test optional, and adequate leadership although a little more wouldn’t hurt. All together, I would say you have a great shot.
thanks for the feedback @Hertzog
I think you have an amazing shot to get in. Your grades are very impressive, which is huge with Wake. It’s great that you are taking challenging classes and showing that you can perform well in them. I would just say really continue striving for leadership positions. Also, wake is very big on the total package, which you definitely seem to have 90% of. The only thing you’re missing is an artsy, creative kind of thing. But I think that if your essays are creative and well-written, that will demonstrate that side of you and you will definitely get in. Be sure to interview if you can because that makes all the difference. Good luck!
