Biology
Work hard, all through high school and really place all your efforts into the essays they pour over them.

Honestly, I did well in school, took difficult classes to match my good grades, did well on the ACT and SAT, and participated in lots of groups at my school. If you're able to combine athletics and scholastics, you're typically "in like Flint" for lots of universities of your test scores match up well. Be sure to volunteer and give back to your community and to just be yourself in any college interview or essay you have to write. It's pretty easy to smell the BS someone is shoveling in an essay and when someone is portraying someone he or she is not.

It is hard yet very rewarding and offers many things that huge universities have.

Applying early decision will help your chances significantly. To have a realistic chance for acceptance you should have a minimum 3.75 GPA and 1250 SAT. I would also suggest working into your essays why you want to come to WFU and why you consider yourself an asset for the community of Wake. Good luck!

I applied early-decision single choice, meaning that I sent in my aplication right after I got my junior year transcripts and I knew I was going to Wake in June before my senior year. I reccomend visiting the campus early and applying ASAP because once you come here you are going to want to attend anyways.

I did Early Admission First Choice. Parents both alums. Went to public school and was in top 15%.

Of course it all depends on what they're looking for (it helps to be minority because they're definitely trying to expand that)
Good SAT scores (the cutoff bottom score keeps going up)
Essays that show that you are well-rounded and desiring to further the "Pro Humanitate" motto; that's the kind of student they seek

Head of Honor Counci; newspaper editor; creative writer; officer of three clubs/organizations; published articles in hometown newspaper. I did not play sports, nor did I make great SAT scores, but I went to a renowned private school and graduated with a 4.0...other than thay, I have no idea. I think that I wrote really good essays and I knew that one of my reccomendations was incredible bc we received copies of them. I do know however, that WAke is harder to get into now. The average SAT score has got up by 100 points in the past 4 years to a 1350. Oh, yeah and the number of high-school-student-body-presidents when I entered was 200, whereas now the freshmen class had double that. But, the encrouaging thing is that Wake truly admits people based on their best qualities. My sat scores were a testament to that. They want people who think and feel, who want to learn about life from the multiple perspectives of the liberal arts.

While admission into the school is becoming increasingly difficult, I would simply recommend expressing your desire to attend the school in your essays as best as you possibly can. Also, community service is a plus. And of course, there's the basics like SAT (which is getting higher and higher every year), and GPA are still important.
