I've always liked the idea of attending Wake Forest, and I'm now getting serious about applications. Any idea what range of SAT scores they typically accept?
Wake Forest University actually adopted a test-optional policy back in 2009. So, while not required, you can submit SAT scores if you feel they accurately reflect your academic abilities. If you do choose to submit, having a score within or above the school's middle 50% range might increase your chances. The middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students at Wake Forest was around 1380-1510.
However, remember that Wake Forest takes a holistic review approach in its admissions process. They place a strong emphasis on your high school GPA and rigor of your course load, letters of recommendation, extracurricular activities, and your responses to their supplemental essay questions. These elements of your application can ultimately carry more weight than test scores, so be sure to dedicate adequate time and attention to all parts of your application.
