I'm interested in applying to Wake Forest, but I've gotten mixed responses about the SAT range for admitted students. Can someone point me to accurate data or share their own experience?
Wake Forest went test-optional in the fall of 2009, and later in April 2020, made a decision to permanently adopt a test-optional policy. This means you are not required to submit your SAT or ACT scores for admissions consideration.
However, if you're curious about the middle 50% of admitted students who chose to submit their test scores: for the class of 2025, the SAT middle 50% range was 1380-1510.
It's important to remember that scores are just one part of a holistic review process that also takes into consideration your academic performance, extracurricular involvement, letters of recommendation, and personal essays. While a stronger test score can enhance an application, it certainly isn't the only factor Wake Forest considers in admissions. So, whether you choose to submit your test scores or not, make sure the rest of your application represents your strengths, talents, and fit for the school.
