<p>Contrary to popular belief, I know a good number of people at Wake who chose it over Georgetown and Duke. I also know people transferring to Georgetown and Duke. </p>
<p>Honestly, all of these schools are in the top 1% in the country. The educations are similar, their sports are similar, their prestiges are similar. Most people who apply to WFU apply to GU and Duke as well, and honestly, 99% of the people I know at Wake are exceedingly happy with their choice to attend. </p>
<p>To be blatantly honest, I believe the differences in academic prestige between WFU & GU are negligible. I think I’m a good person to answer this question because I couldn’t be spoken to for a good 2 weeks after being denied from Georgetown (2 people from our school applied to Wake, over 30 applied to Georgetown including our val & sal, so if anyone’s argument as to why I didn’t get in is because WFU is less prestigious, you are horribly incorrect). Now, I do not regret my decision. I still love Georgetown and definitely want to go there for law school. If I did regret going to Wake and thought I’d get a better education at Georgetown, I would transfer. </p>
<p>I do not agree that Wake’s decision to get rid of SAT scores was a good one, but to be honest, this year we have a very high caliber of students. The interview process ensures that we get people who can speak well and represent themselves well. In my opinion, Georgetown is the Wake of the north. Preppy, primarily religious, great school, good sports, well-spoken students, great professors, whatever. </p>
<p>Anyone who thinks that there is a huge difference, especially academically, between these schools is horribly deluded. I respect both of them greatly. :)</p>
<p>SO EVERYONE STOP FIGHTING.</p>
