Waitlist Update

The May 1 deadline for admitted students to enroll has now passed, and, while we celebrate those who have accepted our offers of admission, we also have some open seats that we would like to fill via our waitlist. 

We have contacted a select number of students to begin the conversation about joining the Wake Forest University Class of 2029. While we can’t anticipate how many more students might be invited in the days ahead, we will continue to monitor enrollment and offer admission as seats become available.

We know that this news may prompt some applicants to reach out to their admissions representative to express again their interest in attending Wake Forest; that is not necessary. Applicants and their families should rest assured knowing that the student has done all that is expected if they have contacted a member of our team previously. 

We would also like to encourage students to ensure that the contact number we have on file is accurate. They may review (and/or update) this information on their admissions status portal. 

Our thanks and appreciation to all for their patience as the remainder of our admissions process unfolds. If you have any individual questions about the waitlist process, please do not hesitate to be in touch. 

Warmest regards,
Wake Forest University Office of Undergraduate Admissions
