Aren't UVA and W&M the easier admits here? Applying in-state I mean. UNC is way way easier in-state than Wake (excepting certain counties/schools).

Maybe W&M, but I definitely thought UVA was the tougher admit over Wake Forest. That's why I was surprised by the acceptance (EA) to UVA and the waitlist (RD) to WF.

This isn’t actually surprising. Wake’s RD admission rate is around or just under 10 percent. Your kid would have been accepted ED1 had they applied.
