Anyone have any idea if the standards for admission to WUSTL are any different in ED1 vs ED2? Wash U seems to be her first choice but she is thinking of applying to an ivy league school EA which would seem to permit applying to Wash U ED2.
Since this is WashU’s first year of ED2, no one is sure what the acceptance rate will be yet. I would guess it will be a little lower than ED1 and a lot higher than RD (thats usually the standard). There’s more information on the WashU reddit page.
Thank you!
Hard to say, The pool for ED2 should be stronger. A lot come from the rejects (deferrals) from higher ranked schools. So the competition may be more intense.
It should be easier to get in during ED1.
They may take more during ED2, which makes it even harder for RD.
They took 250 in ED2
