<p>I hope you get in Stormia. Word is that they accept alot of people off the Waitlist. Make sure you call the school and let them know that you really want to go: it'll increase your odds dramatically.</p>

<p>Other Factors:
General Comments: I was pretty stoked when I got the letter, but I have no idea if I'm going to go. Anyone know if it's worth staying over with a student and sitting in on a few classes? I loved the campus when I went to visit, but I really have no idea what St Louis is like. I'm deciding between WashU, Cornell and possibly a few others. Any suggestions???</p>
<p>dude...did anyone get rejected?</p>
<p>haha</p>
<p>TydaChic,</p>
<p>Go visit - it is the only way to find out if you like the school and student atmosphere. After all your decision will change the next four years of your life one way or the other. Overnighting in a dorm, attending classes, spending time with students in an informal atmosphere are very important - it is the only way to see what kind of students, atmosphere and campus culture you might be spending the next four years of your life with. Four years is a long time to not be happy. A visit may not allow you to make a perfect decision, but it certainly increases the odds of making a good decision. Good luck with your decision.</p>
<p>i just got a DVD in the mail from WashU. i guess it is about there campus, etc. i think i will watch it...</p>
<p>good thinking.</p>
<p>Decision: Accepted</p>
