Did you know that you can apply to Washington University in St. Louis using the
Internet?</p>

<p>The application for undergraduate admission for the class entering in the fall
of 2008 is now available on our Web site at <a href="http://admissions.wustl.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://admissions.wustl.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>From the Office of Undergraduate Admissions home page, click on the link for
"Applications and Guides," then select "Applications" from the menu.</p>

<p>Washington University accepts the Common Application and requires a brief
Pre-Application Data Sheet/Supplement. You may complete and submit the
Pre-Application Data Sheet online and beginning later this spring you may
download the Common Application forms. If you prefer, you may submit the
Universal College Application in place of the Common Application.</p>

<p>We are looking forward to receiving your application so we can learn more about
you.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Nanette Tarbouni
Director of Admissions

<p>So we can already start applying? I looked on the website and all I could find was the "pre application data sheet". Would you guys recommend that I fill this out and send it? Thanks. Does this already count towards a part of the admissions process or is it to just get more info? But it does ask a lot of specifics. Just wondering if anyone did this before, and would you recommend me fill this out. Thanks</p>

<p>It's just to get more info as they will set up an official admissions file for you once they get your pre-app. Everyone has to fill it out at some point and so if you want to get an early start, that should be fine.</p>
