<p>My rec letters will be great, and my essay will be outstanding, let's assume</p>

<p>What are my chances at WashU ED (I'm at Ladue High School)? Or where am I a good match???</p>

2

<p>great chance at washu, because they love kids who live close.
if you have a parent who works there, then you're entrance is pretty much guaranteed.</p>

3

<p>Good test scores, good gpa, decent rank, decent ec's </p>

<p>In at WashU</p>

4

<p>Aren't over 10% in the top 10% of class?</p>

5

<p>A girl at my school got into WashU and was given a lot of aid with highly similar stats to yours. AND she was OOS.</p>

6

<p>Thanks a lot. Are there any other schools that might be as good a match?</p>

7

<p>northwestern, chicago, johns hopkins</p>

8

<p>Oh, really! That's quite surprising. I thought I had no chance at any of these places. Are you sure?</p>

9

<p>yeah... unless these schools don't like ladue.</p>

10

<p>id deffinately try those schools, your stuff is solid and since it looks promising for washu, why not shoot for the stars</p>

11

<p>^those schools are on the same level as washu anyway</p>

12

<p>yeah, I guess. Thanks a lot!</p>

13

<p>You go to Ladue? I go to MICDS. If you like WashU so much, I encourage you to find some alumni active at Ladue and talk to them. With your scores/rank, apply early. For some reason WashU loves St. Louis kids, so if you apply early your chances are very good. Best of luck.</p>

14

<p>^I think he'll get in even if he doesn't apply early.</p>

15

<p>Not one kid in my daughter's IB graduating class got into WashU.</p>

16

<p>Hmmm WashU does like to waitlist a lot of kids, but for some reason it has a major commitment to St. Louis students, somewhat like Duke is with North Carolina.</p>
