<p>well this will be my last thread on this board. in years past wash u was known as a great university who accepted people who truly loved wash u, however wash u has turned. wash u is now a school that is an ivy wanna be, a 1300 3.5 person with strong ECs and interest would usually be offered a place, but now its 2150 or bust. wash u has now shown an affinity for book worms and not people. peace out attendees of this once wonderful university.</p>
<p>i couldn't agree with you more. it's sad, but they have become so concerned with their image on paper and their US News rankings. They now care more about numbers than well-rounded people, and that certainly did not used to be the case.</p>
<p>You have got to be kidding me. Because those who were accepted have higher SAT scores and GPAs, they're "bookworms."</p>
<p>If you look at all the people accepted....they all have decent to outstanding ECs. Just check out the decisions board.</p>
<p>Check the middle 50% SAT for Wash U. : 1360-1520.</p>
<p>JB, they haven't been the type of school that accepts a "1300" SAT person for a while. </p>
<p>Really, do you blame them for wanting to raise their prestige?</p>
<p>How dare Harvard accept people with 2300+! I remember back in the day when they chose a person with a 990 SAT + 2.7 GPA + great ECs. 4.0??? 2300+??? Pshhh. Bookworms, is what I say!</p>
<p>JB: You must be one of those people who were horribly wronged by WashU when they didn't see that you cured cancer or something. I could be wrong, though, because I'm apparently a machine or something.</p>
<p>im sureee i cured cancer</p>
<p>AND you have a 1300 to boot</p>
<p>how could they NOT accept you? Travesty.</p>
<p>i actually dont have a 1300</p>
<p>1320/2000, my bad</p>
