Not too surprised, and I won’t be going to WUSTL, but I’m still happy!</p>

<p>Hey, did you guys get likely letters, or were you admitted Regular Decision, you know, typical way? I am just trying to discern if the rumors of the posting being tomorrow are true or not....</p>

<p>we got letters saying that we were being accepted early and that an official letter of acceptance would be sent at a later date. so we were admitted Regular Decision.</p>

<p>yeah same, but i'm was really surprised, totally unexpected.. but yeah, i have the WORST SAT scores on this post... sad...</p>

<p>collegeboundkorean, I am also shocked. Washu was one of my biggest reaches.</p>

<p>Hotpiece, wash u isn't a reach for you at all. You're African American and you have sweet ACT scores....probably in the top 10% of Wash. U.</p>

<p>I have a black friend who got into Harvard with a 29.... If anything, Wash U is a match/safety for you.</p>
