I will be curious to see how the "SAT-Optional" policy and other new admissions policies (such as a mandatory interview) play into Wake's selectivity. I was a bit skeptical of the SAT-Optional policy, but admissions seems to be trending towards that. Even among schools that "require" the SAT's, many times they are a smaller piece of the puzzle.
I just don't understand why Wake does not travel more (as far as their admissions people). They are investing resources in doing interviews (some of them over Skype) and wasting the time of their staff. This is what they should do instead:
1) Create "Admissions Fellows" jobs for senior students and train them to interview
2) Make interview "recommended" rather than required
3) Have admissions staff travel more extensively (especially outside the southeast)
After all, a selective, strong student body is going to produce more successful (ie: more wealth) alums.
