<p>wooo who’s gonna party in summer school with me???</p>
<p>I read that 90% of WashU students were in the top 10% of their high school classes, which is why I thought I was deferred for sure. Anyone else not in the top decile get in?</p>
<p>I’m near the bottom of the 2nd decile. 4.07 W GPA + 35 ACT</p>
<p>I got actually rejected, not deferred. Congratulations for all those that did get in! I’ll be neighbors with you guys next year when I go to Saint Louis University. 
Okay, just for statistical reasons:
I got rejected and I have a 3.8 GPA (out of 4.0), a 30 ACT, 3 in a class of 33, dance team all 4 years and senior captain this year, my dad didn’t go to college, I’m from a small town (3,000) in Illinois, I go to a public high school, and I visited twice and had an interview. </p>
<p>I’m really glad I found this forum last week so I could meet others to chat with that were in the same boat as me. It’s been fun anticipating my results with you guys. :)</p>
<p>Congratulations. Is everyone posting stats?</p>
