Please Help! Friends think I should apply to WU. Should I?

<p>Well I've finished all my apps, but some of my good friends have told me I might like WU. I want to major in business, which WU does offer through Olin. I really don't know much about the school other than the students from my school who have gone really like it.</p>

<p>I've applied to:
Georgetown (deferred EA) (McDonough Business School)
Rice
Duke (first choice)
Penn (Wharton)
USC (Marshall)
Claremont Mckenna
Dartmouth
Stanford
University of Oregon (accepted and accepted to Honors college)</p>

<p>I'm going to research more about WU, but I'm wondering if it's worth it to apply now.</p>

Teacher recs: One teacher showed me and it was good</p>

<p>What do you all think? Should I apply, or just stick to my current list?
Also, is WU big on demonstrated interest? I know they waitlist a lot of people to keep their yield high.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>What's WU? Are you talking about Wellesley, because you mentioned Olin.</p>

<p>oops I mean WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS!</p>

<p>I've heard WUSTL is big on demonstrated interest, but I hope not, cuz i applied and I'm interested in Olin, but I just haven't been able to get out there...</p>

<p>Haha, shows how much I know about business schools. As you can tell I'm an engineering person, thinking that you were talking about Olin College of Eng.</p>

<p>haha, yeah but Frank W. Olin is an EXCELLENT school. Full ride too!</p>
