Wake Forest University, founded in 1834, fosters leadership, altruism, and international exchange in their student body. With campus buildings all around the world<\/a> and an NCAA Division I football team<\/a>, Wake Forest provides many unique opportunities for their students. If you\u2019re hoping to cheer on the Demon Deacon<\/a>, you\u2019ll need to nail your Wake Forest supplemental essays. Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wake Forest\u2019s 2025-2026 Prompts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The five Wake Forest supplemental essays may look intimidating, but two of them are only lists. Moreover, all of the Wake Forest supplemental essays are optional. In other words, with some forethought and intention, these essays don\u2019t have to monopolize your time during a busy college application season. That said, you\u2019ll have the best shot at writing a strong essay if you fully understand what each prompt is asking before beginning your drafts. So let\u2019s break those prompts down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Why have you decided to apply to Wake Forest? Share with us anything that has made you interested in our institution. (150 words or fewer)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. List five books you’ve read that intrigued you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Tell us what\u00a0piques your intellectual curiosity or has helped you understand the world\u2019s complexity. This can include a work you\u2019ve read, a project you\u2019ve completed for a class, and even co-curricular activities\u00a0in which you have been involved. (150 words or fewer<\/em>)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Dr. Maya Angelou, renowned author, poet, civil-rights activist, and former Wake Forest University Reynolds Professor of American Studies, inspired others to celebrate their identities and to honor each person\u2019s dignity. Choose one of Dr. Angelou\u2019s powerful quotes. How does this quote relate to your lived experience or reflect how you plan to contribute to the Wake Forest community? (300 words or fewer<\/em>)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Give us your Top Ten List. (The choice of theme is yours.) (100 characters or fewer<\/em> per line)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    General Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    All four of these prompts seek to understand who you are as a person. Moreover, your Wake Forest supplemental essays most likely can\u2019t be reused easily for another school\u2019s application. For this reason, you\u2019ll need to set aside some extra time to answer these prompts and revise your drafts. This being said, here are some tips to make that revision process go just a bit faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Free-write before<\/em> you start drafting.<\/strong> This might sound like it\u2019ll just make the process go slower, but many students\u2019 writing processes are stalled by using the drafting process as a brainstorming exercise. Instead of taking the time to explore different essay ideas, they jump directly into writing. As a result, that writing turns out directionless and takes longer to edit. By giving yourself a 10-minute free-writing session before you begin drafting, you can get all those messy ideas out on the page. Although a 10-minute session doesn\u2019t sound like much, it will feel pretty long if you make yourself write the whole time. Afterward, you should have a much better sense of what you\u2019d like to focus on in in your writing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Start with intention<\/strong>. Following on that last point, you\u2019ll want to start your essays with intention. For prompts 2 and 3, this might look like composing an outline. Alternatively, you can come up with a thesis statement or guiding idea to reference as you write. Regardless of your methodology, starting with intention will help you accelerate your revision process by producing a stronger draft the first time around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Be specific.<\/strong> Perhaps the number one issue students face in college essays is a lack of specificity. Essays that use generalizations or rely on abstract language instead of concrete details tend to be less vivid and personal. Remember, these are personal essays<\/strong>. That means that any essay you write should sound like you. With each sentence, think to yourself, could someone else have written this? If so, perhaps a different, more specific sentence would be better. Ultimately, specificity will help your essays stand out from the crowd.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Wake Forest Supplemental Essay Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Why have you decided to apply to Wake Forest? Share with us anything that has made you interested in our institution. (150 words or fewer<\/em>)<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      This is a classic “Why This School?” essay that asks you to demonstrate genuine interest in Wake Forest specifically. The admissions committee wants to understand what draws you to their institution and whether you’ve done your homework about what makes Wake Forest unique. You should reference distinctive features like Wake Forest’s Pro Humanitate motto<\/a> and service-oriented culture, their small class sizes that foster close faculty relationships, or the “Work Forest” reputation that emphasizes collaborative academic environments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      But at the same time, make sure whatever you choose to highlight connects directly to your academic interests and personal goals. I would recommend referencing specific professors, courses, research centers, or opportunities that align with your interests. For instance, if you’re interested in business, discuss the Schools of Business and their particular programs or faculty members whose work excites you. If you’re drawn to their liberal arts approach, explain how their curriculum philosophy aligns with your learning goals and intellectual curiosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And lastly, avoid generic statements like praising their “great academic reputation” or “beautiful campus” that could apply to countless institutions! And try not to list facts about Wake Forest without connecting them to your personal interests, and resist the temptation to focus solely on rankings, prestige, or location. The admissions committee also wants to see that you’re thinking about what you can contribute to their community, not just what Wake Forest can do for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      List five books you’ve read that intrigued you. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      This is a very open-ended short essay question, but you\u2019re not expected to write anything about the books you choose to list. Nor are you expected to explain why they intrigued you. There is no official maximum word count, but don\u2019t take that as license to write whatever you please. For this prompt at least, the assignment is as simple as it seems. A list of any five books that have intrigued, for whatever reason, will suffice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Can it really be that easy? Many students worry that their list has to be especially intellectual or diverse. If the books that have intrigued you happen to be especially intellectual or diverse, then that\u2019s great. But if not, it\u2019s best to be authentic. All the admissions team is looking for in this response is to learn more about you. There\u2019s no secret trick or unspoken expectation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Again, authenticity is key here. Having combed through the rest of your application materials, possibly conducted a virtual interview<\/a> with you, and read your teacher recommendations, the admissions team will have a pretty good sense of who you are. If your list of books doesn\u2019t sound quite right given everything else they know about you, it\u2019s not a good look. In other words, it\u2019s in your best interest to list five books that you have actually read and found intriguing. Don\u2019t stress about it! This should be one of the easiest college essays you have to write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Tell us what\u00a0piques your intellectual curiosity or has helped you understand the world\u2019s complexity. This can include a work you\u2019ve read, a project you\u2019ve completed for a class, and even co-curricular activities\u00a0in which you have been involved. (150 words or fewer<\/em>)<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      This essay question follows the prior question by digging deeper into your interests and pursuits. More than the prior question, your response to this question should have an intellectual element. You can write about a book you\u2019ve found engaging (including one from the list above), and explain how you learned about the world in the process of reading it. Alternatively, you can discuss something you\u2019ve accomplished or pursued, whether as a personal project or an assignment for a class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The prompt also provides room for \u201cco-curricular activities\u201d as a topic for your essay. Unlike extracurricular activities, co-curricular activities are complementary to your school\u2019s curriculum. That said, extracurricular activities that are important to you might still fit in this prompt\u2019s purview. The prompt uses the word \u201cincludes,\u201d so it clarifies that a flexible interpretation is encouraged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The important part is in the first sentence of the prompt: \u201cwhat piques your intellectual curiosity or has helped you understand the world\u2019s complexity.\u201d Therefore, whatever you choose to discuss must<\/em> fit this description. Whether the topic of your essay is extracurricular or co-curricular, pursued individually or with in a group, read or seen or heard, is less important. Most important is that you name something that has intellectually engaged you and briefly explain that engagement to the reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Dr. Maya Angelou, renowned author, poet, civil-rights activist, and former Wake Forest University Reynolds Professor of American Studies, inspired others to celebrate their identities and to honor each person\u2019s dignity. Choose one of Dr. Angelou\u2019s powerful quotes. How does this quote relate to your lived experience or reflect how you plan to contribute to the Wake Forest community? (300 words or fewer)<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      This prompt has the highest word limit of the four Wake Forest supplemental essays. Therefore, it will likely take the longest time to compose and polish. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to work on your response, and consider writing this essay response first to get it out of the way. Note also that there is a bit of research required. You will need to identify a quote by Maya Angelou that speaks to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      While researching your quote of choice, be sure to only use reputable sources. The internet often lists false quote attributions, and if you\u2019re not paying attention, it can be easy to fall for them. Consider taking a Maya Angelou book out from the library (or e-library) to read. You may not have time to read the book thoroughly, but you can focus on a particular passage or section and choose a sentence or two that speaks to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Make sure that whatever quote you choose, you understand the context behind it. Again, it can be helpful to read some of Dr. Angelou\u2019s work in conjunction with your quote, even if the quote itself is brief. Doing so will allow you to better understand what Dr. Angelou meant when she wrote the quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Ultimately, though, this essay is about sharing your life experience with the reader. This experience could be past, present, or future. For instance, you could explain that you resonate with your chosen quote because of a specific past experience. Alternatively, you could describe how the philosophy behind the quote reflects your choices and behavior today. Or, if you prefer, you could focus on how you hope to take in this quote\u2019s message to guide who you hope to become at Wake Forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      However you choose to approach the second part of the prompt, be sure to devote at least half of these essay to discuss your relationship with the quote. Although this essay is ostensibly about Dr. Angelou\u2019s words, ultimately, her quote is just another avenue through which the Wake Forest admissions team hopes to get to know you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Give us your Top Ten List. (The choice of theme is yours.) (100 characters or fewer per line)<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      This prompt is perhaps the most open-ended of all the Wake Forest supplemental essays. You\u2019ll need to compose ten lines of writing, each line limited to 100 characters or fewer. This means you have 1,000 characters to work with total, or approximately 140-250 words. That looks like a half to a full page of writing double-spaced. However, you might not need (or want) to fill out all of those lines completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This prompt seeks to understand your interests, preferences, what you find fun, and\/or what intellectually engages you. Like the first prompt, there is no hidden agenda here. You can go in a variety of directions with this prompt. List your top ten movies, your top ten quotes, your top ten national parks, or anything else that comes to mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Consider the parts of your personality that aren\u2019t otherwise coming through in your application. What passions, interests, or hobbies are important to you? If they\u2019re a part of who you are, then they may be worth delving into here. If you\u2019re having trouble coming up with topics, try researching top ten lists online to get some inspiration. Good luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
