<p>I know how hard it is to get into WashU so any advice will be appreciated.<br>
We did visit and she had an interview. She met with our admission rep several times.<br>
She won't get financial aid and we can't afford for her to go there unless she gets some scholarship. </p>
<p>Her stats are perfect for WashU! She has a great shot. </p>
<p>Hi! I was accepted into wustl as a student who applied ED and was chosen as a Rodriguez scholar this year. I would like to give some insight, but first, her academic stats are in par with many of the students here at wash u. We can’t give a definite answer based on her stats because tons of 36 ACT, 2400 SAT, 800 subject test students who apply get rejected, but we can tell you that she is in the ballpark. She seems like a well-rounded student who is good inside the classroom and outside which is amazing, and has many honorable ECs which is great, so I would say she is definitely a candidate for wash u. Honestly it all comes down to the essay. Many people around the nation have amazing stats and what differentiates students from each other is the qualities and characteristics that the student possesses which is expressed through the essay. ( If you want to see mine as an example or need help, free free to ask me ). </p>
<p>As for the “she won’t get any financial aid” part, I want to ask, how do you know that? My parents make a lot of money and I still got a great scholarship and aid even without the Rodriguez scholarship. If you ask the financial director, they’ll definitely try to help you out and make it affordable. In addition, there are many scholarships offered at Wash u and I highly advise your daughter to apply for them and who knows, I might be one of the people interviewing your daughter for the Rodriguez scholarship in the near future :).</p>
<p>Good luck to your daughter and I know she’ll do great anywhere she goes!</p>
<p>Your daughter has a great chance particularly if she can convince Wash U admissions that if she is admitted she will attend. </p>
<p>Any chance she will want to play soccer? That could give her a nudge in the right direction.</p>
<p>My S got into Wash U Olin with similar stats, regular decision. But you never know who and why they accept some and not others. I’m sure most applicants had similar stats because that’s the type of students Wash U attracts. If your’re not sure about financial aid and scholarships, your daughter should not apply ED. Congrats to medicinesaves on her scholarship but we didn’t find it easy to get scholarships or financial aid. My S applied for the business scholarship and did not get it. In order to get a scholarship you have to apply for them when you apply to the school. And there aren’t that many relevant ones to choose from. We also did not qualify for financial aid. </p>
<p>My understanding is that Wash U will not hold you to an early D commitment if there is a financial issue, such as if you don’t get the needed aid. Don’t take my word for it but I believe they will tell you that if you ask them. </p>
