<p>ok so
1530 (800 verbal), 790 IIC/ 750 Chem/ 710 US History 1/487, national merit finalist, waitlisted</p>
<p>Now Im really scared, Wash U wasnt my first choice, my first choices are much tougher to get into (i.e. Duke and Princeton) now Im scared Iw ont get into them, what do u think?</p>
<p>Nope. Mine did not say this.</p>
<p>KountingSheep987, i guess we're in the same boat....im scared too</p>
<p>yeah. me too.
I'm ultimately paralyzed with fear right now.</p>
<p>this is not what i've been expecting.</p>
<p>O lord. what kind of schools are you waiting for?</p>
<p>I AM SO FRICKIN SCARED!! I thought i as easily in here....</p>
<p>everyone said the only school i applied to that I would have trouble w/ is Pton, and now this</p>
<p>Im shaking in my boots (if i was wearing boots)</p>
<p>I'm waiting on schools like Columbia, Penn, Swarthmore, Wesleyan, Barnard....
If I can't get in here, what are my chances at any of those?
Flippin burgers '09, here I come.</p>
<p>lol, I'm waiting on Cornell, Penn, Dartmouth, Brown, Wesleyan, Middlebury...hmm...</p>
<p>Looks like we will all be working the double shift at Micky D's come this time next year...HUZZAH!</p>
<p>You guys will get in at some of these schools :P</p>
<p>PS, didn't you guys apply for any state schools or things like that as safeties?</p>
<p>wait listed here too...def worried about hearing back from other schools
(penn,duke, gtown) now...</p>
<p>something isnt adding up, though.
No rejections? No acceptances since the diversity thing? Lots of ridiculously qualified people getting waitlisted?
Is the system screwed up? Have we jumped the gun?
Or is this really happening?</p>
<p>yeah seriously, i just want to know if anyone got rejected. i'm sooo scared now too. geez, this sucks. my top choice is duke.</p>
<p>wait...are we in the matrix or something?</p>
<p>Guys, stop worrying. You're gonna get into better schools than Wash U. That's why Wash U waitlisted you. They didn't think you would attend b/c you'd probably pick better schools. Ivies and really good schools don't use methods like that so your chances are still fine.</p>
<p>if we are in the matrix, then this is a war and we are soldiers...</p>
<p>i wonder if the dean of admission's name is Smith.</p>
<p>Curtisny, is your last name Anderson?</p>
<p>i don't have amazing stats like 1500 or several 800s...</p>
<p>gosh, im freaking out. </p>
<p>i gotta study for this ap bio test tomorrow, but i can't just quit thinking about being wait listed.</p>
<p>better ? 4 everyone: who got rejected, anyone?</p>
<p>i think WashU rejects only a trifle, waitlist/accpt the rest</p>
<p>*shudder.......i'm an international, and I was thinking along the same lines. Only my scores rn't that flash so my chances elsewhere r slim. I really would have liked to go to wustl too......</p>
<p>Wash U is somewhat notorious for looking at how much interest applicants show. Last year at my D's school they admitted the people who applied early but waitlisted (or rejected) EVERYONE who applied RD. Eventually 3 people were admitted off the waitlist (one for spring term, I think).</p>
<p>Counselors at D's school were adamant that students show interest to all the colleges they applied to. D's counselor even told her to make up questions she could e-mail her Wash U admissions rep; she didn't take that advice but she did decide to apply ED, which probably helped a lot. </p>
<p>Wash U is not a safety for anyone anymore; maybe some guidance counselors are a bit out-of-date and giving bad advice.</p>
<p>may I ask why your D chose WUSTL for ED, jane?</p>
