Wake Forest Early Decision Class of 2030 Official Thread

No but first round of decisions did come out tonight, classmate was denied. Submitted my application Aug 20 and all other required docs were submitted Aug 26th (ish) but couldn’t get interview until Sept 2nd so I am assuming that put me into next month’s batch of decisions, so the wait continues until the end of October. Ugh

How long ago did classmate hear?

Our application was completed in early/mid August, had an interview in late August and have not heard back yet. Checked email, Common App, Wake Forest portal and nothing.

Aug came out today at 7:00pm. Does that mean the Sept group will likely come out on 10/31? Or will they do the week earlier?

What exactly defines “August”?

Asking as it seems it does not necessarily mean someone who submitted and completed their application - and interviewed - in August.

Last year, it was everything bring recorded in their portal/system by the end of the month. So my DD turned her application in the evening of Sep 30 but it wasn’t clocked in until Oct 1. I think that would have been enough to kick her to November, but then her school also didn’t get their pieces in until the first days of October. I know Wake’s website says “try” or something like that so maybe they don’t always get through all the applications from the prior month? I haven’t heard of that tho…

Daughter submitted 8/1 and interview 8/22. All check marks on her portal 8/23 so application was considered completed. Heard at 7pm tonight. Accepted.

September group will hear on 10/31.

We heard at 7 PM EST. Sadly deferred. All checkmarks were on the portal by the end of August. Sad, but this early deferral gives the option to ED1 elsewhere.

Did you check the Your Application tab on the portal. The system takes you to Next Steps first, but the update was under Your Application.
