Wake Forest University Stats?

BTW - it’s not all defined by stats. You will find MANY high achieving (by stats). Approx 4 out of 5 are in top 10% of their class with many Vals and Sals. You’ll also find a lot of class presidents, team captains, and club leaders. Some report test scores, some don’t. My S was hanging with some friends and that topic came up. He was floored to find out he was the lowest of his group (mid 1400s). There were several 33-36 ACTs. So really smart kids.

Beyond academics however, what I’ve noticed about the kids I’ve met is they’re all really good at something (music, debate, athletics, leadership, philanthropy, etc.) A good example would be a close friend of S. He was Val, very good baseball player on a very good team, and apparently a fine musician. For his Val speech, he wrote (lyrics and music) and performed a song on acoustic guitar that brought the house down. Very cool kid with that sparkle in his eye. I see a lot of that sparkle on campus.

I would describe them as very smart, great students (who care about being great students), ACTIVE, and social. They get involved in things. Wake values leadership and passion a lot!
