The 15th maybe for this year?

Really curious whatâs happening with WF this year. Weâve seen such odd results. Kids with Bs and Cs getting inâŠothers with terrific grades getting rejected or deferred. The rich are doing wellâthat is never a surprise but kids with lower grades getting in is very confusing. We know about 6 or 7 very qualified kidsâsome siblings and some who did summer program outright rejected or deferred-- and were in the zone. Theyâre saying ED up at least 40% but they seem to be actively trying to alienate current families or families who did the summer program (which is obviously not an automatic anything). For those who were rejected or deferred? From what weâve seen, some very very undeserving and incredibly entitled kids got in. Youâll be better off and just fine whatever school is lucky to get you 
I havenât heard anything about Wake. Donât think anyone from my school applied ED. It sounds like you are implying either erratic holistic decisions or private schools doing well, which I would expect. Any stats or admitted vs denied?
I feel like Wake is a school that pushes its summer program as a method to show demonstrated interest. I thought it was silly expensive although I considered it for a split second when WF was on the original list.
Every student I know that has gone to WF is full pay.
It seems more erratic this year. It used to be a given that anyone getting in ED was a strong student. Multiple friends with kids with near perfect grades (all at private). Deferred or rejected.
Whatâs changed is that kids with less than stellar grades accepted (private too) in ED. Itâs widely known that many many kids in NYC/CT/NJ all use outside counselorsâŠguess their outside counselors wrote some amazing essays.
Some of the accepts are just mind boggling. I blame the schools too. They donât report bad behavior. I work in one.
They do push it. My nephew did the program two summers ago. Not one kid from his program got in EDâall deferred. Itâs crazy expensive. Theyâll happily take your money for sure!
yes, very little FA. A friend was told not to apply for FA at Wake or Emory as neither are need blind (at all) and would affect her kidâs results.

My S24 accepted. I posted the stats earlier: My son had SAT 1530 Total APs 11 and 2 post AP courses this year. His school offers many AP courses. Has the national AP Scholar w/ distinction award. They only do an unweighted GPA which is 3.95. National Merit commended in the PSAT. National Latin Exam certificate of Honorable Merit x 3 years . Captain on Varsity Junior & Senior year w/ high school scholar all-American award. Community service, did summer tutoring, science research 2 years, a few clubs including academic challenge. He did the summer immersion program one year as well
I read the thread about kids underdeserving and I am disappointed to see that in here. I canât speak to whatever kids are being referenced but I can say that any of the kids I know, along with my son, that were accepted had stats similar to his

Really happy for your sonâhe sounds like he absoltuely deserved it. Congrats to him! Outcomes in NYC have been really awful. It is like the Admissions Ooffice had a laser like focus on the most privileged & awful kids. The problem in nyc private schools is they donât do APs anymore. Kids make stuff up, schools inflate grades beyond belief and go along with itâŠcouple that with kids who have outside counselors and you canât win if you are just an average hard working kid. The kids who are honest and work hard (some did the summer program)-some deferred, some rejected. Just really disillusioned coming from NYC. I work in a school that told everyone they canât submit any application before October, but parents worked the system and had apps and recommendations in August because parents made threats. Itâs just a lose/lose system and Iâm so disappointed that Wake canât see the inequity.
Oh puppers, I hear you. The famous and fabulously wealthy in NYC did well at Wake. I know a kid who forged her parentâs signature for ED agreement. Got in. I know there are 100s of kids who got in and deserved it but the kids they took from NYC confirmed every awful stereotype. It is beginning to feel like only the fabulously rich get in. My son has 3.88 GPA, leadership in several areas, captain of 2 sports, works on weekends, tutoring since 9th grade, bilingual. Did the summer institute. Deferred. Not one kid from his summer program got in.
We had to wait for recommendations to go in until later October. NYC schools donât even start school until after Labor Day, how did kids get in everything earlier to be considered for early rounds (some would argue less competitive)?
