Wake Forest Waitlist Statistics?

If I end up being waitlisted at Wake Forest, what are the chances of actually getting an offer of admission? Does anyone have any stats or personal experiences to share about the waitlist process at Wake Forest?

While specific statistics about the waitlist process at Wake Forest can be difficult to come by, I'll try to give you a general sense of what to expect if you're placed on the waitlist.

Firstly, the number of students admitted from the waitlist each year varies depending on the number of admitted students who decide to enroll, or the yield rate. Some years, colleges admit more students from the waitlist if the yield rate is lower than expected, and other years, they may admit very few or none at all if the yield rate is higher.

That being said, Wake Forest is a selective university, and typically, the chances of getting off the waitlist are relatively low at selective schools. Historically, at some universities, this number can range anywhere from 0% to 50%, but generally falls on the lower end of the spectrum.

During the waitlist process, demonstrating your continued interest in Wake Forest can be important. Make sure to submit any additional information or updates requested by the admissions office, such as new achievements or updated grades.

You could also consider writing a letter of continued interest, expressing why Wake Forest is your top choice and updating the admissions office on new accomplishments or developments since the original application deadline.

Overall, while the chances of getting an offer of admission from the waitlist may be low, it's not impossible. Just make sure to have backups by committing to another college by the May 1st deadline in case you don't end up getting off the waitlist at Wake Forest.
