<p>white male from the great state of Connecticut</p>
<p>no interview</p>
<p>3.75 unweighted GPA (senior grades AP History A-, AP Calculus A-, British Literature Honors A, Wesleyan Chem. A-). My school runs off the block schedule. 4 classes per semester with APs running the whole year. I have those three classes plus my Wesleyan class as the fourth.</p>
<p>ideal grade progression</p>
<p>1370 and 2070 on the SAT</p>
<p>15/190 class rank</p>
<p>All honors classes and 3 out of the 5 AP classes my schools has </p>
<p>I am a Wesleyan High School Scholar. Every other day I leave school and take “Principles of Chemistry I” there. I was accepted again for next semester, and I am taking “Principles of Chemistry II” next semester. I finished the course with one of the higher grades in the class with an A-/A. I am hoping they consider this because obviously Wesleyan is one of the best schools in the country, and it proves that I can succeed.</p>
<p>~40 hours of community service (probably the killer here)</p>
<p>Founder, former president, former vice-president, and current secretary/treasurer of the “Support Our Nation” Club</p>
<p>Founder and vice-president of the Tutoring Club</p>
<p>President and former treasurer of the International Culture Club</p>
<p>no interview: not good
3.75: looks good
1370: not too bad
15/190: looks fine
Principles of Chemistry stuff: sounds really good
service: oh-oh
Club thingy: no harm to found some clubs… i don’t know if it’d help much tho</p>
<p>I think u have a good chance to get in
urs is similar to my stats except that I did “ED” and had “yes interview, on campus”</p>
<p>I don’t think the no interview is bad or anything. It’s supposed to help you if you have one, but not hurt you if you didn’t. Your SAT scores are a bit low, and the GPA’s a bit low. Depends on your essays, but the other aspects looks slightly above average</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses. However, I am surprised about what you said about the SAT scores. I actually thought they were my strength. </p>
<p>Collegeboard’s median 50% for WFU for critical reading is 610-690 putting me in about the 70th percentile. The median math is 630-710; again putting me in the 65-70th percentile.</p>
<p>I agree with the above post.
If you had a gun to my head, wouldn’t I be inclined to tell you whatever I think you want to hear??
Anyway, sorry my post isn’t more helpful.</p>
<p>Your stats look good to me, but then again, I’m under threat of death, so…</p>
<p>bosox, yes, I’ve heard the expression—meaning the person responding must answer truthfully, right?
I think your stats look fine–am judging on when my son applied in 2005–haven’t kept up since then. His application year, none of the people he knew who applied did interviews–he didn’t. I don’t think the interviews (or lack of) will hurt you. I know they said they liked students to have visited the school.</p>
<p>I think you have a fairly good chance. Wake’s application is really writing intensive (quick questions, interview - if written), so the better they are, the greater your chances. I honestly think they matter a lot. At least the quick questions, anyway. ECs are also very important for Wake - a couple more wouldn’t have hurt your chances, but you’re probably still ok.</p>
