<p>Hey, I just got accepted to case western with 22K a year and denied from Vandy ED (they don't defer). I'm applying to Michigan, Wake, etc., but nothing else of the Vandy caliber except WashU. I'd really REALLY appreciate a HONEST chance of my application. Thanks.</p>

<p>If you are really serious about the school, show a lot of interest. Don’t be afraid to reach out to your admissions officer. VISIT AND INTERVIEW! Other than that, your numbers look pretty good. </p>

<p>Four teacher recs is way too many, by the way. Two is sufficient. </p>

4

<p>Yes, I did an interview new home, and am visiting and doing another interview there. And yea, I think I might have 2 or 1 recs for washu (max common app limit)</p>

5

<p>Any other opinions?</p>

6

<p>good shot…show ALOT of interest…attend classes on campus, go to info meetings etc…</p>

<p>@miamimama5 I’m doing 2 interviews for washu: one on campus during tour and the other local. I do intend to show interest, but this isn’t early decision washu, but regular decision, so do you still believe I have a good shot?</p>

<p>I had 32 Act, 3.86/4 unweighted, 4.86/6 weighted and applied ED… got deferred… we had similar stats so just wanted to show someone to compare to.</p>

<p>Ok, thanks @asianas1‌ . With your stats (which are indeed similar to mine), where else have you got in?</p>
