Washington University in St. Louis Acceptance Rate Predictions

Colleges and Universities A-Z Washington University in St. Louis

<p>What do you think the new acceptance rate will be compared to last year's acceptance rate of 15.01%?</p>

2

<p>14.1</p>

3

<p>Any other thoughts? </p>

4

<p>17%</p>

5

<p>Why do you predict 17%? Do you think because they lost a few applicants this year the acceptance rate will go up?</p>

6

<p>I bet it will stay the same with fewer applicants. The yields keep going up every year (with a few too many students saying yes last year) so I bet it will hover around 15. </p>

<p>Washington Post says that 5,002 out of 29,211 were accepted (17%). This surprises me and I have a feeling there will be a bigger class than 1650 that enroll.

<p>NOOO! Oh, gosh. I really hope the yield rate this year is low. (waitlisted student here)</p>

<p>I’m confused because in 2012 they accepted ~4,800 from a pool of ~27,000. Last year, About 4,500 from a pool of 30,000. Since yield is increasing, it makes little since that they would accept more students than they did in 2012 and even 2013. I have a friend who was WL, so for his sake I hope that the article is wrong…</p>

<p>@HereForTheLinks‌ , do you see the link @quotable posted? It confirms what I knew all along. </p>

<p>If you know a thing or two about a school, you can pretty much predict the outcome. </p>

11

<p>Yes, you were spot on!</p>

12

<p>@HereForTheLinks , actually, it was a combination of knowledge about the school and luck. And i don’t know if this has anything to do with it, but my people’s birthday falls on the 17…so there! It sounded good so I typed it. lol</p>

13

<p>My birthday is on the 17th! Weird lol!</p>

14

<p>What month @HereForTheLinks …See, you should have guessed 17%. lol</p>

<p>But all joking aside, I said 17% because my people and your birthday fall on the 17th. </p>

15

<p>April! @LanaHere</p>

16

<p>Well, Happy Birthday in advance @HereForTheLinks .</p>

<p>Are you a Wash U admitted student?</p>

17

<p>Yes! I was an ED admit!</p>

18

<p>What is your major @HereForTheLinks</p>

19

<p>At my admitted student reception, I was told that predicted yield rate this year is around 50%, and that the acceptance rate is close to 10%? Not sure how accurate this is though, and maybe that acceptance rate is for RD.</p>

<p>I am a pre med so probably biology! @LanaHere‌ </p>
