When did you transfer? Where did you transfer from and why? Are you happier at Wash U?</p>
<p>i got into wash u today from the wait list! but i dont know if i want to go there over northwestern.... but the class must not be full because i got a call</p>
<p>"I am writing in reference to your application for admission to Washington University for the 2006 fall semester."</p>
<p>So that was last year's response?</p>
<p>Did anyone get a letter yet for this year's response?</p>
<p>"I am writing to inform you that the Admissions Committee has decided to offer you a place on the wait list..."</p>
<p>Along with the other thousands</p>
<p>Guys - this is a thread from last year - confused the heck outta me!!</p>
<p>Please go to :
Waitlist Update! under Colleges - Washingt.....St Louis</p>
<p>I suspect they have a small "pool" of people on the waitlist that they already had cornered that were "likely admits" if room becomes available, and those are the few people, very few indeed who have been getting phone calls the past few days. The vast majority of people on the waitlist will not get calls. Not because they dont like you, but only because the class is full. WashU is a "white hot" school right now. Many people turn down Ivy's to go there, or who are otherwise Ivy qualified, because its the midwest, its a great school, and slightly less frenetic than HYP, for example. That is not to say that someone who is admitted off of the waitlist to HYP might not call WashU and rescind their acceptance and open a spot or two, because that may happen. </p>
<p>For those who got the calls: congrats! For those who don't, well consider yourself lucky to be admitted where you are going. The level of intensity in college admissions is getting shocking. I know of people who were denied admission at schools who seemed well qualified and who would have been admitted without a blink of the eye even 5 years ago or less. Its amazing. </p>
<p>My D is on the WashU wait list and we are still hoping, but not hopelessly hoping if you know what I mean. If we get the call, we will accept and be glad. If not, we will always keep a special place in our hearts for WashU. They are truly nice people and their admissions process was one of the most efficient, informative, and friendly we experienced.</p>
<p>Best of luck to you all. And remember, you can be a star anywhere you desire.</p>
