You are an ignorant racist.


I actually agree with the original poster here. What in the world is Wake Forest?

Wow, first time I'm hearing this, which is another way of saying those programs do not have impressive outcomes.


Or you are an underachiever who never went to college.
If you are smart enough - it's a match for you when you start looking for schools.

I don’t know that UNC or any other school (since you’re claiming 4th best?) is “better” than Wake. Maybe name recognition because of sports. But academic strength? Lots of my classmates chose between Duke and Wake.


Davidson


Eh, I think the student bodies are incredibly similar. A lot of people who applied to Davidson in my classes, as well.

Davidson is smaller, but draws from a very similar applicant pool.

Deep South native here. Let me assure you that WASP in the south are not Southern Baptists. They’re the Presbyterians, the ones with money. There’s a serious class line between sects of Protestantism.


This is the most accurate comment of the whole thread.

This is such an obviously fake anecdote I snorted.

I lived in Winston Salem taught at Wake. Also went to school in Chicago. They are very different schools but every person in my class in Chicago was mugged except me. I wouldn’t feel safe with my DC at U Chicago for a number of reasons including personal safety.
