I disagree. Wake's football team is doing well and plenty of kids go to the games. 'Nova' s bball program is usually pretty god.

Wake’s football team is currently ranked No. 10 in country

Basketball team finished 5th in ACC last year.

Neither is worth paying private tuition price tags.

the basketball team never recovered after the coach died of a heart attack years ago

pretty sure Chris Paul was their last star player

You clearly don't understand ACC basketball. Wake is a fun and hot school right now. Weather is also considerably better in NC.

Um, I’m an alum. I didn’t say I’d pick Villanova just because Wake’s basketball team has been not so great for quite a while.

It was just different in the Tim Duncan era (while I was a student) and then into the Chris Paul era.

Those mid sized schools you’ve described are the sweet spot for many! Makes them very desirable for good reason. Acceptance rates plummeting with overwhelming number of applicants

Wake forest is just a way better school across the board.

Wake had a smaller student population in the 90s, but this was what I liked about it. Not too big, but also big enough that you didn’t know everyone.

The current price is outrageous, but I had a great experience there as a student. I have a couple friends who had or have legacy kids there. One is in her senior year and already has a post grad job lined up from her summer internship with one of the big consulting companies. She’ll be moving across the country in May.

It’s such a shame they finally have a decent football team when I can no longer stand to watch the sport after all the CTE info came out

All those games I had to sit through when the team was terrible…

Either great! See where you get in first. Tough admits currently

A bit bigger but similarly ranked and admit rate, better overall sports, weather, non preppy, and school spirit for days and generations: check out U Miami.
