How are ya'll? I've asked before but my standardized testing is over so I'd appreciate some opinions.
I'm applying Wake Forest early decision single choice. I'm a white guy from upstate NY.
My SAT is a 1330- 690 Math 640 Verbal (second time got 1290-stupid lol)
SAT 2's (not required but reccomended for early decision)
700-Math IC
710-US History
720-Writing
And here's my extras I've posted before:
-Cumulative average after my freshman and sophomore years were in the 97's un-weighted and this year I've gotten 95.0, 92.5, 95.25 un-weighted for the first three quarters as a junior. Last quarter is pending. I did get a 75 on a Math final regents exam last year, but I'm probably taking it over (if you don't think I need to I definitely won't).

Thank you very much.

Your scores are right in their range and your EC involvement will help you immensely. I don't think you'll have much trouble getting in ED.

Good luck.

It was a small envelope so I was scared, but now I'm excited beyond belief...The college of my choice!
