School Type: big public, little interest in good schools though
Ethnicity: white
Gender: male</p>
<p>Other Factors: rural area, i've been to three different high schools in 2 different states</p>
<p>General Comments: I showed plenty of interest, mainly becuase my dad was pressuring me to go there. I visited, interviewed, etc. I didn't really want to go there, but this really kills my confidence for any schools next week:/ Did anybody else thing they were a solid for WashU but got waitlisted?</p>
<p>I didn't think I was quite "solid".... but I after I found out a friend from CA got in with a 1980, lower SAT IIs and AP scores of 4, 3, and 2.... I thought hey... why not me?</p>
<p>I was accepted with ACT of 35 and class rank of 15/432. But our school's valedictorian was waitlisted with ACT 34, extremely rigorous schedule and good Extra Curriculars (Varsity Baseball and Basketball). This just showed me that it's all a subjective crapshoot.</p>
<p>i was waitlisted with:
ACT: 30 (i know.. not very high)
GPA: 4.0 uw 4.8 w.
Class rank: 2/450
IB diploma candidate
Essay: everyone who read it said it was creative and well written
Recs: wonderful
ECs: good community service, piano since 1st grade: theory competition awards, swimming since 7th: 5 school records, art class and state painting awards, school newspaper editor.
hook: none</p>
<p>problems... prob my act and because the interview wasnt the greatest. the student who interviewed me prob could tell it wasnt my #1 choice. but it still was one of my top choices.</p>
