The term "overrated school" is ridiculous to me since all "ratings" are arbitrary and subjective.

Why don't you say the truth, which is "I don't like this school as much as most people" since there is no objective measurement? That's both more honest and not insulting.

Oh, and maybe give some reasons. Easier to take you seriously with those. lol

Easier school to get in for a high ranked school but many better options.

I know two black male students from my son’s high school who attended in the last four years from my son’s high school, Baltimore private Both loved Wake.

Sorry for the awkward phrasing, typing on my phone.

Seems very overrated.

Closer to 20 percent last year.

Some people on this board have a very weird vendetta against this school. Not sure why. It has been considered a top school in the country for years, whether you feel it is deserved or not. Even when it was a USNWR regional university, it was profiled in a book with a title about "Top 50 Colleges in the US".

when I went, the med school and law school were highly sought after (I worked in the law library junior and senior year). A huge portion of my freshman hallmates were pre-med or pre-law.

I don't know where the grad programs are almost 25 years later, but I have fellow alum friends with kids who have attended or are currently attending for undergrad. One already has a job offer from one of the top consulting companies after a summer internship and is planning to move to their Salt Lake City facility after she graduates in the spring.

I think the acceptance rate is higher because it is a more self-selected applicant pool than some others. To be fair, I think it is a more regional school.

And of course, when I attended, the all in cost was 1/4 of what it is now.

Sorry your kid got rejected from Wake. But it was still a smart move to at least try to get in; yes, the school is every bit as great as you imagine.

I don’t think anyone imagines wake forest to be great. In fact, I don’t think anyone imagined anything about wake forest.

sour grapes

It's ranked pretty high but acceptance rate 30%.

Something doesn't add up.

Seems very overrated.

at 83k for this year , is it worth it?
