[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So wake forest is hot this year.

Hotter than in years past for ED by top stats private high school kids who could make a run for T20.

Used to be the early ED choice for full pay kids with meh transcripts. Non-DMV private btw.

They say they want true college exp/fun, low pressure, easy study-abroad process, non-competitive business majors, collaborative culture, social campus, Greek life and d1 sports culture.
What gives?

As a Wake Forest parent, I would disagree with some of this.  Wake Forest is hot, but it is been hot for at least the past few years, especially the years the football team was ranked in the T25.  Further, it is not correct that it was a school for “meh” transcripts, before the change in the rankings for first gen/ low income students factors in 2023, Wake spent two and a half decades ranked as a T30 school.

Academics are rigorous at Wake, hence its “work forest” nickname.  The business school is collaborative once admitted as a sophomore but the admit rate is about 70 percent so some kids switch to Econ.  Business clubs are also competitive to get in as they are everywhere.

But kids have a lot of fun.  Football games and tailgates are well attended.  There are pep rallies for football and basketball.  Lots of parties.  Truly a work hard/play hard school.  Nearly everyone goes abroad fall of junior year.[/quote]

Agreed. Kids who would have been competitive at a number of the T-25’s opt for Wake because it offers a great package combining rigor, size, vibe, climate, and fun. [/quote]
