was the fin aid letter supposed to include scholarships? all i see is debt
sameAlso received info. All loans. RIP
IIRC, 200k is national average. 210K is wake's. I think alot of students go for HPSP or other federal scholarship programs here it seems like. Based on responses it doesn't seem like a lot of financial or merit aid goes out (which is surprising). I know at least some get a full ride scholarship for merit.All loans for me. Really hoping HPSP comes through. Also, I went back and tried to find the financial aid slide showing the average of 210k. I'm now wondering if that is just the national average they referenced as opposed to the actual figure for Wake. Doesn't change things, I'm still super excited to be going here but 360k vs 210k is a big difference lol...
All loans for me too/: Is this changing anybody's mind about going here? I love this school, hate the cost..
I'm still on the waitlist, really really hoping there'll be some waitlist movement in May (or heck, I'll even wait longer if I end up getting off.)
Who else is still on the WL with me?

There is a ~$12k+ difference in COA for Wake and another school I've been accepted to...Is this significant enough to help me decide which school I should choose?Same, this is my fav school if all finances were equal. I can’t justify going here over state school.... I’ll be withdrawing. Good luck waitlist squad
12k/year (so 48k total) or 12k COA differential? If 12K, no, if 50k, potentially?There is a ~$12k+ difference in COA for Wake and another school I've been accepted to...Is this significant enough to help me decide which school I should choose?
12k doesn't seem like much at first, but that is about 50k total after the four years. I would have to ask myself if going to a school where I would be happier/better fit/etc is worth 50k extra debt (+ interest). Personally, I would probably say it is worth it to have the extra debt and go where I am happier. However, for someone else, that may be 50k they would like to save/have less loans.There is a ~$12k+ difference in COA for Wake and another school I've been accepted to...Is this significant enough to help me decide which school I should choose?
Per year unfortunately. I redid the math and looks like theres around a $15k difference actually. Why does Wake's tuition have to be so ridiculously expensive12k/year (so 48k total) or 12k COA differential? If 12K, no, if 50k, potentially?

Aren't all private schools about the same (~$60k/year tuition)? I would be curious to hear if other private schools in Wake's "category" offer more grants/scholarships than Wake does...specifically GW, Seton Hall, and Drexel.Id love an answer to this question.

MSAR shows Drexel @$62,580/yr vs. $60,000/yr for Wake.I believe Drexel is around $10k cheaper than Wake and GW. But for Drexel scholarships are also few and far between.

Congratulations!I applied to 31 schools, did 6 interviews, got one post-ii R, 4 post-ii waitlists, and one who is just being slow.
I have been on these waitlists for months contemplating my life plan and my future, but today, I finally got accepted to Wake Forest after they interviewed me on 1/30 then waitlisted me on 2/13. I'm gonna be a doctor!

YepDid you also get your acceptance around 2:30pm today? Congrats!!
They will send you information with a link to log into a portal system. My email was titled important enrollment information for WFSOM class of 2024, I am unsure if you will receive this information unless you click accept in the Wake portal. I don't believe the portal is binding, that's the decision you make in AMCAS on 4/30. You could also email [email protected] and they would have more information!where is financial aid information listed
Was recently accepted off the waitlist and was wondering if there were any current students (or fellow accepted students that know alot) who I could message with some questions I have?
Monday around noon!We’re you accepted today or Monday?
Hi, I'm a current student and you can message me. However, if it would be helpful to other prospective students, please consider asking it hereMonday around noon!
@GoofyGubernaculumFor any current students:
They give us a laptop on day 1 but the ownership wording is a bit confusing so I'm just wondering do we get to keep the laptop after graduation? Obviously my guess is that we don't but there's no harm in asking!

They're having us do BYOD this year. They can't get the laptops and distribute them so they'll be reimbursing students $1200 in August for whatever they purchase as long as it meets the minimum standards. Students are free to go with HP or Apple through their preferred vendor or they can go elsewhere!Our class and classes before us received an HP Elitebook with the class of 2023's being the 840 G5 Intel Core i5-8350U [email protected] 1.9GHz with 8GB RAM that we get to keep once we graduate. I did overhear that they were considering allowing personal devices in the future but that's to be determined.
