<p>Haha, “nothing too spectacular,” don’t kid yourself.</p>

<p>You have some great stats. However, if you’ve scoured the WashU forums recently you’ll see that people with PERFECT stats get waitlisted. I would pin you as an “accepted” if it weren’t for the randomness in acceptances. </p>

<p>So, I’ll put you at “very good chance,” but there are no guarantees with WashU.</p>

<p>early decision or regular??</p>

<p>early…almost def
regular…good shot</p>

<p>thanks for the opinions!</p>

<p>On a side note, i have heard horror stories about WUSTL grade deflation (along with JHU, Cornell) when compared with the grade inflation of the HYPS. I know that GPA and MCAt scores are uberimportant when applying for med school, which is definitely the route i’m headed for, as evidenced in my ECs/research. Any thoughts/knowledge?</p>
