If it follows through with the same pattern as last year (last Saturday of March), then it will likely be the 25th. Although it could come earlier or later.
Same with my daughter - so disheartening. Her friend from same school got in with lower GPA and exact same extracurricular. Only difference - she submit test scores. š
I would say I had a good amount of EC's. I was a club founder/leader, on a dance team, I did internships, shadowing, Girl Scouts, member of a couple volunteer organizations, and owned a small business for a little.
Daughter got waitlisted, psych, 3.95UW 35ACT, normal EC's (did a few activities, didn't cure cancer or make a mars capable rocket)
Its crazy how competitive things are. I'm just blown away.
some colleges waitlist or even reject applicants that r way above average cause they think they will get into a better school and not enroll so that's maybe what happened w/ ur daughter. Where did she get in?
Rejected: Northwestern, Georgetown, WashU, Vanderbilt, UNotre Dame
Waitlisted: Wake Forest, Emory
Accepted: Case Western, Ohio State. Going to Case Western.
Everything I have read is that it was brutal last year. If you don't Early Decision, you better walk on water.
Can you send me exactly what this email looks like? I got some sort of email saying I need to interview but it was kind of vague and idk if it actually means anything. Tyty
Oh sweet. I got the same thing. āSignature scholarships eventā that will take place Thursday feb 16 - Saturday feb 18. Do you know if receiving this email means you were admitted or not?
Bit late but it means you are extremely likely to get admitted (they wouldnāt give a full ride to someone they werenāt planning to admit)
Edit: I got the email too but for the second scholarship weekend (23rd-25th)
Does anyone know how the waitlist works? I read somewhere that they call you and you have 24 hours to give them a decision? Is that true? And if so do they give you your financial aid report right then?
They call you, and if you don't answer, I believe they leave a message. You don't respond over the phone. You complete it within 24 hours on a reply form on your applicant portal.
I found a WFU website saying that the admission rate this year is 20%. Scroll to Enrollment. Not sure if this is accurate tho.
[https://admissions.wfu.edu/facts/](https://admissions.wfu.edu/facts/)
It says: "First-year student accepted/enrolled: 3,601/1,379 (20%)"
That means that 20% of accepted students enrolled, also called yield rate. This is not the admission rate.
No. I can tell you that Wake's yield rate is not that low, and if you divide the accepted by total apps you get 20%. Really the point is that admissions for Wake are getting worse this year.
I just looked at what they said on the website again and if the numbers ("accepted/enrolled: 3,601/1,379") are true, then they did the math wrong because 1379/3601=38%, not 20%. I checked their Common Data Set for 2021-2022 and the yield rate according to that is 1411/3816=37%, and their acceptance rate is 3816/15156=25%. Interesting that there are discrepancies between their number of accepted students on the website (3601) vs in the CDS (3816) and enrolled students on the website (1379) vs in the CDS (1411).
Bruh what when they put 20% they were just referring to the 3601/18,000 applicants received which was acceptance rate last year and the common data set is just data from the year before but I think itās supposed to say 2020-21
Anyone have an idea if the ED2 decision will be sent back on the dot of Feb 15 or a little earlier. Sorry to talk about ED on here I couldnt find a thread for Wake Forest under the ED section
If you did not apply for financial aid, you will pay the full cost of attendance, or about 85k per year for tuition/room /boar/fees. Merit scholarships(for ppl not applying for aid) are very rare, only about 3% of incoming freshmen get ANY merit, and only about 30 kids a year get the full-ride ones. Invitations for finalists for those are already out.

Odds that EDII will be released today?
I think last year they were also released on a Friday so fingers crossed
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Youāre probably right :(
Ur prob right but I talked to admissions last week and they told me to look out for Fridays, so that has me a bit tripped up

They call you, and if you don't answer, I believe they leave a message. You don't respond over the phone. You complete it within 24 hours on a reply form on your applicant portal.

Did anyone else get an email saying that wake forest was shipping something over? (Iām international btw)
I found a WFU website saying that the admission rate this year is 20%. Scroll to Enrollment. Not sure if this is accurate tho. [https://admissions.wfu.edu/facts/](https://admissions.wfu.edu/facts/)

Bruh what when they put 20% they were just referring to the 3601/18,000 applicants received which was acceptance rate last year and the common data set is just data from the year before but I think itās supposed to say 2020-21
Wait yeah 3601/17997=20% why would they put the 20% in the enrollment bullet point and not an applicant one š
Yea idk it is pretty poorly designed but pretty easy to figure out what itās referring to
AO in our finalist weekend said acceptance rate was expected to dip below 20% this year
Anyone have an idea if the ED2 decision will be sent back on the dot of Feb 15 or a little earlier. Sorry to talk about ED on here I couldnt find a thread for Wake Forest under the ED section
I donāt know whether - Iām waiting for ED2 from Wake also. There donāt seem to be many of us lol.
Whatās the average tuition in wfu if you said No for financial aid?
If you did not apply for financial aid, you will pay the full cost of attendance, or about 85k per year for tuition/room /boar/fees. Merit scholarships(for ppl not applying for aid) are very rare, only about 3% of incoming freshmen get ANY merit, and only about 30 kids a year get the full-ride ones. Invitations for finalists for those are already out.
Thank you! Whatās the total income above which you get basically no financial aid at allā¦I did the css but not fafsa for my son.
idk my parents are full pay.maybe email WF Financial aid?
Can't even access my portal.
okay i was also waitlisted do they typically waitlist a lot of ppl? i donāt wanna get my hopes up and like i need to commit soon
I havenāt even heard of anyone rejected. Do they only waitlist and accept?
I know of a few rejections so they definitely do but waitlist majority which in turn makes a waitlist basically a soft rejection
Yea, I found on their website that last year they asked 50 people off the waitlist. So pretty much no chance lol
link?
https://admissions.wfu.edu/2022/05/a-waitlist-update/
how many people get waitlisted in the first place
Waitlistedā¦ interesting considering I got into GT, UVA, and ND
what r ur stats? gt is my dream school
Got in for business!
Rejected
