Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>wustl is washington university in st. louis. some people call it the ivy league of the midwest </p>

22

<p>It’s not a safety. Take a look at the result threads for these schools on CC to get a better idea of people who got in and people who were wl (rejection) or rejected. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/washington-university-st-louis/1588222-wustl-class-of-2018-results-thread-p1.html”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/washington-university-st-louis/1588222-wustl-class-of-2018-results-thread-p1.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I know its not a safety that’s why I was confused. I’m hoping to at least have a shot </p>

24

<p>Of course, you’ve got a shot!</p>

25

<p>thanks :)</p>

26

<p>bump please :)</p>

27

<p>any more input? </p>

28

<p>Northwestern is not a match. It will never be a match for anyone either. You could have a 36 on the ACT and it would still be a reach. It is too selective to call it a match</p>

29

<p>what do you think about wustl?</p>

<p>UChicago and Penn are reaches for everyone.</p>

<p>Northwestern is the #3 school on your list… slightly lower reach.</p>

<p>WUSTL is #4… match or high match.</p>

<p>Someone mentioned “Ivy League of the Midwest”.</p>

<p>If there were such a thing, these would maybe be the members:</p>

<p>UChicago
Northwestern
WUSTL
Carleton
Grinnell
Notre Dame
Oberlin
Macalester</p>

<p>…probably the top eight private schools in the Midwest.</p>

32

<p>would it help improve my chances at wustl since i’m doing an open house in sept. and doing an interview?</p>

33

<p>bumo :)</p>

<p>*bump</p>

<p>WUSTL puts a lot of emphasis on showing interest, so visiting, doing interviews, etc is all great! Are you planning on applying early to WUSTL? That would obviously be the best way to demonstrate that it’s your top choice. You should keep other schools you’re interested in on your list, though!</p>

36

<p>I probably won’t apply earl;y because I probably won’t want to pay full ticket price I’m hoping for either fa or one of the full scholarships ( doubtful I know) thanks for the opinion :)</p>

37

<p>i don’t know if this changes anything but I got 5’s on ap bio and psych and a 4 on chem and a 3 on lit thanks :)</p>

38

<p>Just an update I placed top 5 in the summer class so I will present my project to researchers and have chance to be a ta next year and possibly an internship. Wustl is still my very top choice</p>
