Class of 2027
Information on how to enroll, next steps, and important resources for our newest class of Demon Deacons.
Congratulations, Class of 2027!
You did it!
We are delighted to welcome you to the Wake Forest community! Becoming a Demon Deacon will reward you now — and for decades to come. We are excited for you to start your journey; please visit your admitted students’ website to begin.
For those applicants who were waitlisted, you will find important information here; thank you for your continued interest in Wake Forest University.
This is a Remarkable Place.
Wake Forest University invites you to pursue the life of the mind with enthusiasm, put our cherished motto of Pro Humanitate (“for humanity”) into action, build lifelong friendships, and connect your academic learning to the world through service, clubs, student government, athletics, civic engagement, field trips, study abroad, internships, and so much more.
You will think better, analyze harder, integrate more, and communicate more effectively, which will separate you from your peers and propel you into leadership. And you will choose a major that thrills you while, at the same time, giving you expert knowledge and skills.
This is a remarkable place. No other university better prepares you to live a life of such meaning and purpose. We are enthused by your being here to learn more about us.
