Wake Forest has combined the Single-Choice and First-Choice Early Decision plans into one comprehensive binding plan. We encourage students who have decided conclusively that Wake Forest is their first college choice to apply Early Decision; these students are given some preference in the admissions process. About 10 percent of applicants apply Early Decision each year; those students make up about 30 percent of each incoming class.
Under the Early Decision plan:
- Students may submit Early Decision applications any time after completion of the junior year, but no later than November 15
- Wake Forest must be the student's first choice and only Early Decision application
- Students may submit regular decision applications to other institutions
- Students, parents and counselors must sign the Early Decision Agreement agreeing to enroll if admitted and to withdraw regular decision applications from other colleges upon acceptance to Wake Forest
- Decisions are made on a rolling basis beginning September 15
