So Wake Forest is one of my top choices, but I'm a bit stressed about my SATs. Anyone know what their average score is for admitted students? I'd really appreciate it!
Wake Forest University moved to a permanent test-optional policy in 2008. This means that the school does not require SAT scores for admission. Applicants can decide whether they want to submit their SAT, ACT, or neither. Of course, if your score is strong and showcases your academic abilities, feel free to include it with your application. However, if you think your SAT score doesn't reflect your true academic potential, you can choose not to submit it. Your high school transcript, extracurricular involvement, letters of recommendation, essays, and other aspects of your application are also highly considered in Wake Forest's admissions process. So, while they don't publish the average SAT score of admitted students given their test-optional policy, rest assured that a lower-than-ideal score does not immediately disqualify you from consideration.
