<p>Hi, I'm a junior ('06) and I have an interview scheduled at WUSL in the near future. I was wondering if any of you all can share some information and tips regarding what exactly the school looks for in a student and some interview advice. </p>
<p>Also does one's chance of applying through early decision increase the chance of getting accepted? </p>
<p>Oh one more question. How difficult would it be to get into Wash U's school of architecture? and school of arts and science? </p>
<p>Thanks
Julie</p>
<p>I wonder about this as well...</p>
<p>I'm a sophomore atm, and will be a Junior next year, but I would like to go to WUStL as my first choice as well, to Olin :). </p>
<p>From what I've heard they really like people who we're interactive in their school, but still applied themselves. I've also heard they like people to visit and conduct interviews to show they have "true" interest in the school. Oh, and one more thing, my dad's an alumni, although he was class of '88. He applied ED w/ stats that are worse than almost all that post here, and he was accepted (although, he had a previous degree and work experience as an advisor in a nuclear power plant). Seems to me as if they really want students who are very seriously interested in attending. </p>
<p>Atleast that's what I hope.. transitorydaze told me some of this as well. </p>
<p>Good luck to you with your app/admission :)</p>
<p>I interviewed with them in November, and I don't know if it was because they were swamped at the time or what, but my interview was done by a current student. It was very very informal, and it was just a regular conversation about every day things. You just have to be yourself in the interview, and I'm sure you will be fine. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I didn't get an interview, although I did visit on a National Merit weekend thing. I am in a similar situation because my father is an alum. I hope that my legacy status will have enough pull to overlook my lack of an interview.
Admission to Wash U has gotten much more selective in recent years.</p>
<p>I didnt interview, now Olin wants to fly me out. Go figure. Doesnt matter much</p>
