How are the academics?

The academics are not impossible by any means. You need to go to class and do the work that is expected of you. If you do that you’ll be fine. If you don’t, classes might be hard. There’s the occasional class you might struggle with, but overall I’ve found the classes to be manageable (and I’ve taken several semesters with 19-20 credit hours)

I personally don’t think grade deflation is a problem. I think a lot of people at Wake use it as an excuse to explain low GPAs. Wake doesn’t have grade inflation and I think that is the cause for lower GPAs not a specific effort to grade low.

To have a good GPA you need to do your work. You’d be surprised how many people skip classes, turn in work late or just not do it at all, then are shocked when getting their grades back. Keep up with the work. Go to class.
