[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our counselor told us it is a high reach and the next "Emory, Duke etc." and we thought based on the ranks it was more attainable. Curious about experience applying. A was surprised a few kids who applied from our public school did not get in but maybe the waitlist will move? [/quote]

Wake is not a high reach for anyone who is really in range for Duke, it is a match or likely depending on where the student is in the class. 
Wake would be very similar to Emory as far as reach vs match, for the individual student. 
Students who apply RD to Wake are usually top -20% students and use it as a backup to T20. The ones near the bottom of this group usually get WL at Wake for RD and sometimes wish they had ED'd when no T25s come through. Students below that have to ED to have a chance at Wake. 
Wake ED is around the same difficulty as Emory ED and BC ED, From our school the classic ED success at Wake has 1350-1450 scores, great but not max rigor(8-10AP but only 1-2 of the hardest 5). The ones who get in to Duke or Vanderbilt in RD almost always get into Wake in RD unless they did not demonstrate interest in Wake. The RD green dots are almost all 1450-1600, GPA consistent with top 10-15%, and they all get in UVA EA in state.[/quote]
