Is WashU harder to get into compared to Duke,JHU and other comparable schools?

I’m not talking about teenage social circles; I’m talking about adults. Again, though, anyone who has a basic knowledge of prestegious national universities would know better, but Wash U generally seems to come up short, in my experience.

<p>The average adult could probably only name 3 ivies, big-name sports schools, and possibly schools in their region/state. For example, tons of people in the midwest know WashU, but couldn’t list big name universities in the northeast.</p>

<p>In the end, when it comes to getting that first job out of college, people who actually matter know about WashU. So what if your neighbor has no idea?</p>
