Official Washington and Lee ED I 2014 Thread!

<p>its amazing of a campus, ive never been to wlu and being from the north it was a toss up
i hope i made the right decision if i get in</p>

<p>ooh you havent visited? you definitely should, its a sweet place. So where are you from then?</p>

<p>im from south jersey lol</p>

<p>ahh sweet! well I’m from north jersey</p>

<p>i wonder what the total ED numbers were for this year compared to last year…</p>

<p>hey guys i applied early and I find out this coming friday the 18th because apparently they tell the coaches before the letters are sent and they can tell their recruits. I heard that last year they got 600 applicants for ED 1 and they expected similar numbers this year. Good luck with you applications!</p>

<p>ooh wow that high? i could have sworn it was around 450 or so… are you a girl or boy?</p>

<p>wow, do you know if that 18th date is true for all recruited athletes? what sport do you play?</p>

<p>i am a boy in response to newjersey. And I run track so the track coach finds out from the admissions office on the 18th but i don’t know what its like for all other sports. I don’t even know if the admissions standards are the same for all the sports, do you? For track the averages of past admitees were 1900 sat 3.5+ gpa, top 15% or above and 650 on 2 sat 2s</p>

<p>so are you on par with that?
and im pretty sure W&L gets more like 450 ED apps not 600</p>

<p>hey mmoran–did you fill out the track recruitment form? i applied to w&l a few weeks ago for RD but i haven’t filled out the equestrian recruitment form yet…i’m wondering if i’ll hear earlier if i do.</p>

<p>in response to new jersey, i got a 1970 on the sat 1360 for the two sections, a 3.9 GPA, top 10% national honor society, captain of track team, and editor of newspaper, I interviewed and I sent them a letter stating my desire to attend so i honestly would be supprised if i didn’t get in based on the fact that all my scores are above average and I have shown a strong desire to go there. And to the other question i did not fill out a coaching form I just directly emailed the coach because I was onyl being recruited by d1 schools not d3. I have had a great experience with the coaches at W&l. My advice would be to do what i did and explain who you are and what your about and they’ll be much more receptive to that then just some number son a form. Good luck</p>

<p>Hey all,</p>

<p>So, as you might expect, I am applying to Washington and Lee ED. I have lurked around this thread for a couple of weeks now, but never got around to making a CC account.</p>

<p>Here are some stats of mine:
Sat- 2020
Sat 2 Math: 690
Lit: 640
My school does not rank.
GPA is 3.3?? However, my school is one of the more prestigious, extraordinarily difficult private schools in the northeast.
I submitted an art portfolio of my work, was in some state competitions. Do not know how much sway that will have with the admissions department.
I also have a pretty good essay going along, that might help a bit.</p>

<p>Anyway, like all of you, I am getting really really REALLY excited for the letter to arrive. I realize that I do not have the best of chances to get in, but I can dream. I just have to be realistic about it.</p>

<p>The best of luck to all of you.</p>

<p>I’m sure your chances are great, laxerfan…
anyone check the blog regularly?
one of the admissions people said we could expect the letters any day now…</p>

<p>Letters are in the mail says the blog…
anyone think Ill get mine by saturday in NJ?</p>

<p>NJ,</p>

<p>I hope so, because we are anxiously awaiting for a letter here in Missouri. Good Luck to you and all ED1ers.</p>

<p>Thanks, good luck to you as well!</p>

<p>Just got admitted!</p>

<p>congrats! but how do you know?</p>

<p>Cool. Did the track coach call you?</p>
