<p>anyone know?</p>
<p>Wash U does not publish early decision information at all. This leads me to believe that the acceptance rate is quite high, similar to universities of its caliber. Northwestern is 40%, so expect Wash U to be around that.</p>
<p>Why doesn't Wash U publish ED data, speculate?</p>
<p>The washU rep at the information session I went to said it was about the same as the regular admissions rate at about 20%. That's just something I can't understand.</p>
<p>I heard about 33% but I can't remember where I heard that from.</p>
<p>do a lot of people apply early decision?</p>
<p>Last year 2/3 ED applicants were accepted by March.</p>
<p>Newhere, just curuious where/how did you find out that 2/3 EDers were accepted? When you say "by March" you are then including some who may have initially been deferred to the RD pool. Any idea how many were accepted in the ED round (December)?</p>
<p>newhere - once again your statement makes no sense. ED decisions are mailed Dec 15 - so I have no idea how your reference to March has any relevance. As for the 2/3 - this is a number that you posted before, but could never back it up with any data. Why post info like this when there is no source to back it up? The ED admit numbers I have seen are higher than RD, but nowhere close to 2/3.</p>
<p>Brother is alumni and he has data like that from last year (he is the one calling for donations ;) )</p>
<p>Trapper - then I guess that his data differs from admissions data. I wonder where he received his data from.</p>
<p>There is no such thing "admissions data", Wash U never makes it public. Only insiders knows the truth.</p>
<p>newhere, thanks for your message, is the admit rate one of the reasons why the early decision rates are not released? any chance you would know?</p>
<p>At my son's high school, Wash Univ. waitlists 65-80% of the applicants (depending on the year) and only rejects 5-15% outright! They clearly manipulate the numbers.</p>
<p>When a rep came to my school I asked him what the acceptance rate was for ED, and he said it was anywhere from 20-40%. Quite a broad range, but I presume on average it's about 30%.</p>
<p>How many students applied to Wash U, momofsmithie? Why don’t you say the number instead of percentages? It makes no sense, as my roommates says, at her high school no one got rejected, no one was waitlisted and only one was accepted…no one applied besides her, a 100% acceptance rate!</p>
<p>From Naviance:<br>
In the last 4 years combined, 37 submitted applications and 23 were waitlisted (62%), 3 were accepted (8%), and 2 were denied (5%). The balance withdrew their applications. At my son's friend's school, also from Naviance: 23 submitted applications, 14 were waitlisted (61%), and 2 were accepted (in the last 4 years), plus 4 were denied and 4 withdrew.
Hope that helps.</p>
<p>momofsmithie: Could you please provide stats of those admitted from your Naviance and whether ED or RD? Thanks....</p>
<p>S's school had 2 apply ED (out of 37 apps), and 1 was accepted. At the other school, 1 applied ED and the student was accepted.</p>
<p>Makes any difference if 4000 students out of 23,000 applications have perfect SAT score and 15 APs scored 5 if only 1,300 can get in? There would be almost 3,000 disappointed perfect scores who claimed the spot above the rest and they couldn’t grab it.</p>
<p>does anyone have an concrete information about the number of people who apply early decision and get accepted?</p>
