Does Wake Forest University have Early Decision?

We hold no Early Decision figures for Wake Forest University: its filing's early-admission breakdown is not in our records, so this page does not say whether it runs an Early Decision round. What it does report is an Early Action round (Common Data Set 2026-2027). Early Action is not binding. An Early Decision application is — you may hold exactly one, and accepting means withdrawing everywhere else.

Admitted SAT · middle 50% · College Scorecard 2024

14101520

Half of admitted students scored inside this range. It is the admitted band, not a minimum and not a cutoff, and it covers the whole entering class rather than the Early Decision round alone.

What families actually pay (AY 2023–24)

An Early Action offer is not binding, so applying early here does not end the option of comparing two aid offers. These are the published averages either way.

Family income under $30k$6,525
Family income $30k–$48k$6,331
Family income $48k–$75k$7,647
Family income $75k–$110k$12,771
Family income over $110k$58,081

Average paid by students receiving federal aid, by family income (College Scorecard).

International students are not eligible for U.S. federal aid, so they are not in this cohort and typically pay closer to the sticker price.

Across the 8 recorded cycles from 2017 to 2024, Wake Forest University's overall acceptance rate fell from 27.6% to 21.7%. That is the whole entering class — Early Decision, Early Action and Regular Decision together — not the Early Decision round on its own.
