Hi I am just wondering what are the track and field standards for wake forest. Knowing that it is a D1 school and in the ACC, they must be very competitive. Currently I am a New Jersey sophomore with 55 seconds 400 meter dash and a 2:09 800 meter run. My gpa is also 3.5 which can possibly be sub-standard for Wake Forest admissions.
Recruiting Standards are posted on the Wake Forest T&F website

Under the “Connect” tab.
I am very familiar with Wake Forest track. The school will recruit under the standards if they have a need in that event, however make sure you look into the success of the coaches for your specialty. Check if any of the athletes have improved in college, you will see some big red flags for certain events that we missed. They are strong in distance and throwing, much less so in other events and while they are in the ACC they are at the bottom of the list. However, if they want you, the 3.5 gpa will not be an issue.
If you need more specifics I can PM you.
Thank you
