To anyone who was deferred recently, do not fret there is still a possibility that you may still get into Wake Forest. I was deferred last year and I was an ED applicant but I was later accepted(an accidental email was sent out last year a month early stating I was invited to accepted students day). I lost hope that I wasn’t going to get in yet I received that email so the surprise was over for me when I was officially accepted a month later. Regardless, you still have the possibility to get into Wake Forest as the admissions office still sees you as a viable candidate; if they didn’t, you would have been rejected. Something else for thought as a current student at Wake Forest, the Wake you see on the outside as a applicant is radically different from what is inside “the forest” but that’s for anyone who chooses to attend to find out for themselves.
