<p>oh no! my guidance counselor didn't really tell me anything about my brother helping my chances, but she did say WashU is trying to get people specifically from our school because not many people here apply and we are the top public school in the state; apparently our potential washu applicants seem to apply to hopkins, etc instead.. so i hope one way or the other i have a leg up :-/</p>
<p>EVERYONE has been deferred/rejected here.. the only people who got in to their first choice schools were the two cornell ed's and one upenn ed... i think i feel a little okay though because i was deferred from duke and the other two duke-wannabes from my school were rejected...</p>
