What about RD and full pay? |

And 75% have parents who can afford $300k for one undergrad degree. Terrible stats. |

With what stats? In the median for admits last year, top 25% or bottom 25%? |

| Great school. Rhodes Scholar last week. Grad schools and employers know its rigor. |

Actually, it’s more like $500k because you are paying in after tax dollars. |

Wake has long been test optional, middle 50 percentiles ACT 1340-1470, ACT 30-33.
I'd be interested to know if Wake is ever willing to make the trade, accept a student with low(ish) GPA and high test scores. |

In the Covid era, SAT/ACT scores are like money in the bank that should pay great dividends. |

How so if schools are going test optional? Do you think schools will look more for getting scores to keep their standardized test stats high? |

FWIW My DC with lower scores (32 ACT) is applying RD and was told by their college counselor that they wouldn’t get in to WF unless applying ED. I suspect a 34 will be competitive for ED. Good luck! |

| What's the campus like? I took the virtual tour but had a hard time understanding the campus layout and of course no sense of the "vibe". |

| The campus is gorgeous. It is RichFolk, not WakeFolk. |
