<p>I asked a Chapel Hill student another day, and he said Wake Forest’s name is certainly not as big as Duke and Vanderbilt. He also said that UNC might not be a good choice because of its hard workload. He has several friends going to Wake Forest and there they don’t work as hard as most students in UNC do. Why does he say that? The thing is UNC doesn’t even look at Wake Forest as its rival or anything. As y’all know, the center of the attention is Duke University. right then I felt like. oooh Wake needs a rival. I honestly think President Hatch should see how other top schools do (not cute little LACs like Bates, Hamilton, if he knows Wake Forest is actually a UNIVERSITY, not a LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE) and continuously check what Wake has achieved compared to theirs. I think Tufts University is a good role model example(it’s just my opinion and I’m not an expert in college administration). Tufts is another Top 30 school like Wake, but does have better reputation than Wake Forest, higher avg SAT scores, higher avg cumulative GPA, etc. I don’t understand why Wake Forest is trying to be like Holy Cross, Bates…President Hatch should look for a higher goal. What about becoming like Oxford of America huh?</p>
