Wake is not only a tough school to get into; it is also tough once you get there. Students jokingly call it Work Forest for a reason. Do not be deterred by warnings of tough classes, a degree from Wake means something, and ultimately Wake alumni find that the tough curriculum prepares them for the real world after Wake Forest.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
While expensive, a Wake Forest education will ultimately pay dividends immediately after graduation. Wake also offers very generous financial aid packages to those who qualify. Getting in is the tough part, Wake will help you find the money to pay for it.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Find scholarships, find them and get them. Wake is expensive, no doubt about that, but it is an amazing place to be socially, academically, and athletically. Wake Forest is not for everyone though, the classes are small and intimate, also teaching assistants are nonexistent so professors teach every class. If you are looking for huge classes where you can skirt by on marginal attendance, Wake is not the school for you. If you are considering this school I highly encourage you to visit campus and experience what it is like first hand to be a Deacon.
