As an alum from years ago who has donated money to the school and participated in the admissions process with prospective students, I have to ask this question as I have children starting to think about college.
The cost of attending Wake Forest has skyrocketed to astronomical levels since I attended, and I honestly don't know how to answer this question. One of my daughters will likely attend college on an athletic scholarship. Wake is a possible, but not a probable, destination for her. My other daughter has declared Wake as her favorite despite only setting foot on campus once. A lot could change, but I still find myself struggling to answer my original question.
Wake has opened a few doors for me in my career. A decent GPA and a degree from Wake Forest gives people comfort that you have your wits about you. However, it does not necessarily carry the gravitas of an Ivy league school and may be considered a step below, reputation and recognition, of other similar schools like Duke, Vandy and Stanford.
Can someone more familiar with the school today help me out?
