This grades are not good enough for Wake, ED or not, not even close.

This. Wake from our school (private) has actually been harder than Cornell and sometimes Dartmouth in recent years. Gone are the days where it is anything near a safety.

What are the B’s in OP?
I think a robust extracurricular profile can boost an application that has a few B’s, or, alternatively, a higher test score can do that as well.

She has plenty of good options, though, especially since it sounds like you’re full pay. I would do ED and TO.

What size school does she prefer? What about vibe and fit?

The extracurricular profile is fine, but not what I would call robust.

Last year, DC got into Wake RD with a 3.5 and test optional. No stellar ECs.

Amd you think that translates to public school in Northern VA where the grades are known to be inflated?

At our rigorous private with some grade deflation it takes a 3.8 or higher for Wake, plus more significant ecs than op listed. I know kids from three different private schools local to me attending Wake who were all school presidents.

Those stats will not be good enough for Tulane, NE, Miami, or Clemson oos. Think Syracuse, Delaware, JMU, maybe VTTech for a less competitive major.

I still feel like we don't know enough about this kid. These suggestions are fine. So are the Muhlenberg/Ursinus suggestions. But really, so many would work. Probably Penn State and Pitt. I think a few suggested later are a little too lofty, like Lafayette and Fordham. But overall, this kid will have so many options.

Lots of successful ED from our private to Wake with 3.5uw.

But school has a long track record with Wake.

I think this is a pretty good list. Business will be a tougher major. Any chance she could prep some more and take the SAT again? Getting her above 1300 would be good, and she is very close.

OP, what is the GPA? Weighted and unweighted (if your school weights the GPA). Private or public hs?
