If waitlisted, 3Q/Final grades VERY important?

<p>I'm trying to stay away from senior slumping, and I want some motivation to keep doing what I'm doing. If I'm waitlisted from Wash U (like almost everyone on CC), and I send them my 3Q, 4Q, Final grades, how much will they benefit me if they're absolutely excellent? (My unweighted GPA is 3.3, which is why I want to know if it will make up for my poor performances earlier (Cs frosh))</p>

<p>How does Wash U select people off the waitlist? Is it true that if you pay $100 you'll be moved to the top of the waitlist (or was that some sick joke that I'm stupid for not catching?)</p>

<p>sure ...... send me the $100. and I'll make sure they move your name up the list.</p>

<p>ok so it was a joke</p>

<p><em>stabs</em> </p>

<p>I thought it was a clever way to determine who actually wanted to go to wash u and not.</p>

<p>NOT me and so it goes.</p>

<p>Don't know about this year but last year they made this big waiting list (including myself) and very few people were selected from it. Fortunately, I was able to go through it by updating them on my records and grades, etc. and I also personally talked to an admission rep since I live in STL, but I know they didn't go through a lot of people. Thinking back from now, I don't even know why I even bothered to go through all that trouble because I ended up not attending the school.</p>
