<p>Why "race not disclosed?"</p>

3

<p>im not going to reveal my race on the application box. so where do you think i should apply to?</p>

<p>You're probably Asian then.</p>

<p>I think you'd like Northwestern more, but you have about an equal shot (and it's a pretty good one) at both schools.</p>

<p>yes, thats why i dont want to disclose my race, but they'll probably know, but still no need to tell them. i like both schools equally. it came down to which school i felt i had a larger chance of being accepted to by early decision. i know that Washingont University accepts less students both early and regular and has a larger applicant pool, but i still have a feeling that Northwestern's higher acceptance rate (33% regular and 43% early) doesn't really help. the only thing is that Northwestern actually says early gives you a boost while Washington says its the same, so i dont know what to do, and the deadline is in less than two weeks.</p>

<p>FYI, I know of only one student last year that applied ED to Wash U with very similar grades, STATs etc....She was deferred; don't know if that helps and she did visit and interview.....</p>

<p>I would suggest you apply ED to Northwestern. Remember that if you're rejected or deferred, you can always apply EDII to WUSTL.</p>
