Am I a lock for Wake?

Don’t kid yourself, interviews count for almost nothing.



I think that this is true for most schools, but not for Wake. They basically require students to do at least one form of an interview (at the school, over skype, or on the internet through written text). Interviews probably carry a decent amount of weight, IMO at least.

Many other schools offer interviews, but tell you that it will either be an informative interview (for you to learn more about the school) or that if you do not choose to have an interview, it will not hurt you at all. At Wake, it is more like “pick one of the three”.

OP: I think you have a good chance at Wake; it will definitely be easier to tell in your junior year. However, I would by no means consider Wake a safety for you. (I also think you would have gotten better responses if your post’s subject had been different). Regardless, if those stats stand true, you should get into Wake, but then again, I know people who were waitlisted/rejected last year who I definitely thought would get into Wake.

You will also probably get more responses at the “What Are My Chances” board.
