The Office of Undergraduate Admissions and the Office of Alumni Activities are pleased to sponsor this forum to educate and inform alumni and their college bound children about the admissions process to selective colleges and universities. The forum is open to all high school students but is particularly appropriate for rising high school sophomores and juniors. While we hope that your child is considering Wake Forest, the forum will provide insight into college admissions in general. The day is a blend of general information as well as Wake Forest specific information, which is provided via the optional session in the morning, and a campus tour in the afternoon.
The Admissions Office staff will take you step-by-step through the college search process, focusing on finding the right college, writing winning essays, completing applications and financing a college education. If you still have questions, you'll have plenty of time to ask them at an informal reception with admissions office staff members.
Registration for the forum is $85 per family (limit 3 per family please) to cover the cost of lunch and materials. If more than 3 people will attend, an additional charge for lunch will apply. Attendance is limited, so please register early. Registrations must be received no later than Monday, June 15, 2009. A list of area hotels is available »
NOTE: Parking is available in the visitor lot behind Wait Chapel.
