[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both school have acceptance rate around 20%.  SAT range 1300-1500.  
Not particularly difficult to get into.  
You likely to encounter so-so peer in these schools.[/quote]

Only on DCUM are schools that reject 80 percent plus of applicants called easy to get into.

Average SAT for those admitted to Wake Class of 2026 was 1480.  I expect Davidson similar but too lazy to look.[/quote]
Exactly -- "not difficult", just 20% acceptance. People have lost their minds.[/quote]

First - Wake’s CDS from the Class of 2026 says average SAT is 1450, not 1480.

Second - The actual SAT average at Wake and many test-optional schools is about 100-130 points lower (I.e. 1320-1350). That’s what the math says when only 28% are submitting SAT scores. Wake, like Tulane, Northeastern, and some other 2nd-tier schools, loves to admit as many full-pay ED kids as possible and test-optional helps them do that without wrecking their numbers. But don’t be fooled by those formerly Ivy-level SAT numbers. They only tell a small part of the story.[/quote]

It’s almost like you are unaware that 90 percent of schools are still test optional.  48 percent of applicants submit test scores at Wake.[/quote]
