Application Information
Application Form
November 15 is the application deadline for Early Decision. Early Decision II and Regular Decision for the fall term are due by January 1. The deadline for spring term is November 1. Please file your application earlier, if possible.
Wake Forest also accepts the Common Application and the Coalition Application. Wake Forest specific questions are required to complete each of these applications. These questions can be completed online as part of the submission process.
A nonrefundable application fee of $65 must accompany the application. Please make checks payable to Wake Forest University.
You MUST sign the application.
Any materials submitted as part of the admissions application (DVDs, CDs, books, magazines, etc.) become property of the University and will not be returned.
Early Decision Plans
Early Decision plans are for incoming first-year students who have selected Wake Forest as their first-choice school and only active Early Decision application. Early Decision candidates may apply any time after completing the junior year but no later than November 15, and are notified on a rolling basis. The Early Decision II deadline is January 1 and candidates are notified on February 15. Both Early Decision plans are binding. Students agree, if admitted, to withdraw all other active admissions applications and enroll at Wake Forest for fall 2020 by submitting a nonrefundable $500 deposit within two weeks of acceptance. If your enrollment decision will be dependent on need or merit-based financial assistance, we recommend a thorough review of the Wake Forest financial aid website prior to application submission.
Secondary School Report
An official transcript of your high school grades must accompany the Secondary School Report. The Secondary School Report must be completed and signed by your college counselor.
Recommendations
School counselors are asked to submit a written evaluation along with the Secondary School Report. Wake Forest also requires an additional Teacher Recommendation Form. This should be completed by a teacher who has been your instructor in an academic subject, preferably from junior year. The writer should send the form directly to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
Standardized Tests
Wake Forest values individual academic achievement, initiative, talent and character above standardized testing. Therefore, submission of standardized test scores is optional for admission. If scores are submitted, they will be treated as supplemental information through the evaluation process.
Students who have taken but not submitted SAT or ACT scores will be required to do so upon enrollment. Scores will not be used for placement.
If submitting scores for consideration, score reports must be sent directly from the testing centers. To request that scores be sent, contact:
SAT 609.771.7600 Wake Forest CEEB: 5885
ACT 319.337.1270 Wake Forest code: 3168
Other standardized test scores, such as SAT Subject Tests and AP Tests, are welcomed by self-report and will be treated as supplemental information.
Interviews
We strongly encourage all applicants to schedule a personal interview. On-campus and web-cam interviews are available by appointment only beginning June 1. It is advisable to arrange your interview well in advance.
Notification, Reply and Deposit Dates
Early Decision candidates will be notified on a rolling basis. A nonrefundable $500 tuition deposit is required within 2 weeks of acceptance notification for Early Decision candidates.
Early Decision II candidates will be notified by February 15. A nonrefundable $500 tuition deposit is required within 2 weeks of acceptance notification for Early Decision II candidates.
Regular Decision candidates are notified no later than April 1. A nonrefundable $500 tuition deposit is required by May 1 for Regular Decision candidates.

Transfers
The number of transfer students varies from semester to semester depending on the current enrollment. No merit-based scholarships are available for transfer students but applicants are encouraged to apply for need-based aid. If you are applying to transfer to Wake Forest University, please send the following items:
1. Application and $65 fee
2. All official post-secondary transcripts
3. Transfer college report from each college you have attended (form can be photocopied)
4. Final official high school transcript
5. Submission of standardized test scores is optional
6. Essay stating why you desire to transfer to Wake Forest
Transfer to Wake Forest Applications for the fall semester will be reviewed beginning on April 1. Applications for the spring semester will be reviewed beginning on November 1. Students are encouraged to submit the application prior to these dates. Applications are often accepted after these dates, however. For more information on whether transfer applications are still being accepted once these dates have passed, please contact the admissions office.
Need, Merit and Talent-Based Aid
The CSS PROFILE and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) are required of need-based financial aid applicants. The PROFILE and the FAFSA should be filed no later than November 15 for Early Decision applicants and no later than January 1 for Early Decision II and Regular Decision applicants.
Most merit-based scholarships will be awarded based on the admissions application. Students who wish to be considered for merit-based scholarships must submit all required application materials prior to December 1. Please visit wfu.edu and click on "Admissions" then "Merit-Based Scholarships" for more information.
International Students
An applicant who is not a United States citizen or permanent resident must apply as an International Applicant. International Applicants fill out the same application, but are required to submit 2 pieces of additional information: the Confidential Financial Information for International Applicants Form and evidence of English language proficiency.
Because International Applicants are not eligible for need-based financial aid, Wake Forest requires documentation that the applicant can meet all the expenses of earning a Wake Forest degree. Therefore, International Applicants must submit a completed copy of the Confidential Financial Information for International Applicants Form. This form can be downloaded and printed from the "International Applicants" page at
admissions.wfu.edu/apply/international.php. This form is required, and the application will not be evaluated until it has been received. Other personal financial documents, such as bank statements, letters, or affidavits, are welcome but WILL NOT be accepted as substitutes for this form. Though not eligible for need-based financial aid, International Applicants are eligible for most meritbased scholarships.
All International Applicants whose first language is not English are required to submit an official TOEFL or IELTS score directly from the testing center.
Since all communication from our office will be by e-mail, please make sure the address given in the application form is accurate and checked often.
