A shocking statistic
I was talking today with one of my dear friends in Admissions about how this year’s incoming freshman class looks. She told me that there was a 27% increase in admissions applications. Not only was the volume of applications bigger, but the quality of the applicants had improved dramatically too.
I am proud that Wake Forest continues to excel in so many ways. Also a little sad, because I’d love to have every student who wants to be at WFU get an acceptance letter. Then again, that would make the school WAY too big.
Trustee meeting concluded today. I had no role in the meeting proper, but saw a number of the Trustees through my window as they left the meeting. I have had the good fortune to get to know some of them - many are former Alumni Council members I have worked with - and they are such good, conscientious people who love this place dearly. I have great confidence in their leadership.
Have a good weekend, all!
