<p>knat - it is irrelevant as an anecdote as well, athough I would be interested in how you think it had relevance. Again, if 100 people applied to MIT and 10 were accepted, while 3 applied to Wash U and all 3 were accepted, that says something very different than 30 applying to each school and 10 getting into MIT and 3 getting into Wash U. What can one possibly learn about the relative admissions policies and selectivity of each school based on the incomplete data provided by lissmrt?</p>
<p>about the same here, dpattzlover</p>
<p>I was wait listed by WashU, yet I was accepted to Princeton.</p>
<p>D got rejected early action to Stanford, accepted early (nonbinding) to WashU, going to Vandy RD</p>
<p>My D got wait listed at Wash U,
- accepted at
UC Berkeley,
University of Maryland College Park Honors (no merit $$),
Brandeis (no merit $$).</p>
<p>Waiting to hear from WU…especially grants, etc.
UC Berkeley in state tuition/room and board about $24K (we live in Los Angeles)
Wash U $50K
Brandeis $50K
Maryland $35K</p>
<p>Waitlisted at WashU, accepted to Williams and Cornell… which would you pick? Williams is the #1 LAC, Cornell is an Ivy, even if it isn’t Harvard…</p>
<p>I personally have accomplished some great things at international level. I am also a class valedictorian, and presidential scholar. I am on full-ride to Wash.U. and got into many of the ivy league schools. I don’t think they would always waitlist someone with extraordinary character. I am narrowing down to Wash.U., Dartmouth, Wharton, Brown (since it is a great fit for me), NYU (BA/DDS Program), <northwestern, uc=“” berkeley,=“”> and Harvard. Mainly due to horrible financial aid, I would turn down the other schools including Yale, Columbia, and JHU.</northwestern,></p>
<p>Based on what you’ve posted here, I hope you don’t go to WashU.</p>
<p>But then he’ll go to Dartmouth. WU2013, what CAN we DO in this instance?</p>
<p>Based on all his posts, I am pretty confident Humboldt is not a real person. If by some chance he is, well… God help him. Can you even imagine what someone like that had for an essay? Scary. Anyway, seems fake to me.</p>
<p>I can’t imagine what his essay would be like but I can imagine under Future plans he checked other and put “Better than you!” or something along those lines =)</p>

<p>True. Sometimes they make a mistake and admit them. (I’m on the same page as you, fallenchem.)</p>
<p>palmalk - LOL, it is almost funny if not so pathetic. Someone PM’d me and pointed out the many inconsistencies in his posts. Just one example is he claims he is getting a merit scholarship from Wash U, yet he also states he has never been there, and Wash U doesn’t give merit scholarships without the weekend on campus. Also, for someone of his extraordinary talent, Wash U does not cap a trip out at $300, they pay what it takes. It is just obviously bogus. That’s the last I have to say about him/her/it.</p>
<p>waitlisted. wow. </p>
<p>Well, that means my secret-sort-of-weapon worked to offset my ZOMGFAIL application. I think. Maybe not. One way or another.</p>
<p>fallenchemist: don’t feed the PM ■■■■■. :D</p>
<p>Wash U is the most overrated school in the country.</p>
<p>i am pretty sure WashU doesn’t have Tufts syndrome…you guys need to just chill out! try not to worry and you will all get in places you will end up loving.</p>
<p>Objective789,
Like whoaitspatricia said, please just chill out. Please, move on with your life. </p>
<p>WashU can’t be overrated.</p>
<p>Its current students are happy, successful, and inspired, and they were also talented top students in high school to boot. </p>
<p>On top of that, “overrated” is quite a subjective word. There are threads around here that list 101 reasons to attend WashU due to what you can empirically find on campus, as well as a much-read thread on why WashU “has it all” due to the same list of objective, empirical reasons.</p>
<p>I might be biased, but every day WashU has is emerging more and more as THE premier institution.</p>
<p>when i got waitlisted, i totally decided to just ignore the washu forum. but i regret that now that i saw the title of this thread which totally describes my life lol</p>
<p>I applied to a lot of other universities so we’ll see what happens. So far I got into UCLA so.</p>
<p>hahaha the title is hilarious. But don’t lose hope! My friend is now a sophomore at Yale, and he got wailtlisted from WashU.</p>
