<p>Rejected 
Very disappointing because it is my first reach decision. My hope for my other “higher-ranked” college decisions is gone.</p>
<p>Well, looks like I’m joining the waitlisted club. Guess that means I’m “normal”… bummer.</p>
<p>I was waitlisted. It gives me the option to accept or reject the waitlist. There is no harm in waiting a month is there?</p>
<p>accepted! had to restart computer to find ‘decisions link’ though so keep trying!</p>
<p>Waitlisted! lol they waitlist too many people, don’t they?
Is the waitlist binding? I’m considering signing up for safety and such but I don’t want to be stuck if they take me off.</p>
<p>Rejected. Disappointed, but that’s fine. Move on.</p>

This will be a difficult choice…
A good one to have to make though. :D</p>
<p>hi guys, i got waitlisted! but one thing i dont understand, there’s no harm in accepting a waitlist spot right? so why are some people still rejecting the waitlist option?</p>
<p>Maybe it’s for the people that already got accepted into a school they like better? Or just for people in general who know they are not going to WashU for sure?</p>
<p>I did a quick Google search, and it seems like it truly isn’t binding. :/</p>

I really struggled with this essay, probably writing a good 20 versions on different topics, and while I was somewhat pleased with the final result, it’s surely nothing spectacular.

Congratulations to all with good news tonight!</p>
