<p>WUSTL is my first choice school. I have shown interest through a campus visit and tour, email correspondance with the track and field coach and I will be visiting this fall for an interview. I plan on majoring in Biology with a minor in Spanish and will be going Pre-Med.
I am still trying to decide if I will apply ED or RD. Other schools I am interested in are UChicago and Northwestern.</p>

<p>I would appreciate replies from people who have been admitted to WashU! Thanks!</p>

<p>My son was admitted to WUSTL and will be attending this fall- Classics major but doing premed. In addition to great stats (although I didn’t see your GPA), demonstrated interest is big at WUSTL. If you apply ED then you are truly demonstrating interest in the school. </p>

<p>Good luck- WUSTL is a phenomenal school with students who really want to be there rather than for the name. As a parent I am impressed with how parents are really kept in the loop.</p>

<p>I do not know my current GPA but I am guessing around 4.5 for cumulative because I have recieved all A’s (and only 2 A-'s in my freshman year)</p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Your numbers look fine. I’m not sure if your ECs display enough focus, but they aren’t “bad” per se. With nice essays and recs, you’ll have a decent shot.</p>

<p>Unless WUSTL is your clear favorite, and money is not an issue, I would not recommend applying ED.</p>

<p>Very strong. If it is your top choice, I suggest applying ED.
RD is like winning the lottery. You resume deserves an acceptance but you never know.</p>

<p>Well washU certainly takes a greater% of students ED like most other schools,but if it is your clear first choice, you shouldn’t hesitate in applying ED.</p>
