<p>would you say that their actually interested in me or not, cuz it seems they send a lot of mail</p>
<p>I think it indicates some level of interest. My S who is a jr. at WUSTL received tons of mail. My D, a high school senior, has shown lots of interest but has only received a fraction of the mail my S received. Her stats are not nearly as competitive as his were. I think that must be the difference.</p>
<p>Think the students & university are aware of/sensitive to the reputation the university has of sending lots of mail - there's even an article in today's Student Life: Student</a> Life - Students question impact of mailings on environment</p>
<p>A couple of years ago, my daughter also received a ton of email and snail-mail from WUSTL. It was enough to encourage her to apply ... but not enough for her to show much interest beyond that. (Her heart already belonged to Carleton.) She and her 35 ACT, 2290 SAT, NMF/scholar status, etc., were ultimately wait-listed. No hard feelings though. Wash U is a great school and an increasingly tough one to get into. If you decide you're truly interested when the time comes, just remember to "show them the love!" Good luck. :)</p>
<p>Yikes. I thought they placed quite a bit of emphasis on test scores. Wash U is pretty high up on my list. I too have a 35 (superscore, which they take) and NMS status. How might I show them that I am truly interested with the common app and no supplement?</p>
<p>gramps--Make sure you visit. My daughter didn't, and I think that was a fatal mistake. Also, find out who your WUSTL admissions officer is, and keep in occasional contact with that person. (Don't be a pest, though!) Just show a sincere interest. If you love them, there's a good chance they'll love you back.</p>
<p>You should also take the time to apply for their scholarships.</p>
<p>Thanks. I was planning on applying for scholarships and have been to campus for an interview. I'll look into contacting my admissions officer.</p>
<p>I get mail from them all time as well.</p>
<p>They just want to get as many people to apply, even students that they know they can reject. Its all to lower acceptance rate, so their rank goes up</p>
