Mini Camp College at Wake Forest University
Mini-Camp College offers high-school students structured sessions with college professionals who will demystify the complexities of college admissions and the process of financial aid. For more information or to have your students apply, please visit our Mini-Camp College page.
The program will formally begin at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 13, in the Porter Byrum Welcome Center/Office of Undergraduate Admissions at Wake Forest University. We encourage rising juniors and seniors to join us. The program will conclude at 3:00 p.m., with optional Wake Forest campus tours offered from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Space is limited. Registration and parking are free.
We’ll consider only completed applications, the deadline for which is June 5. Students will then hear back from us on a rolling basis – and no later than June 7. Please note that participation in Mini-Camp College does not signify admission to Wake Forest University.
If students are not offered a spot, we, of course, still very much hope they’ll visit us for a campus tour and/or one-on-one interview.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Mr. Thomas Ray, Assistant Dean, at rayt@wfu.edu or (336) 758-5203 or me at vargask@wfu.edu or (336) 758-4356.
