I am surprised because I see my application as sort of a risk for colleges. I appear smart, but not the hardest or most productive worker. It was a crapshoot, and I am very happy I got in. I hope the rest of my colleges see/saw me in as good a light as WUSTL. </p>
<p>Congrats to all the rest accepted; good luck to the waitlisted; And I wish all those rejected good luck at the rest of their schools.</p>

Not accepting my spot on the waitlist and congrats to all who got in!!</p>
<p>I wonder what the admit rate is, hmm... Though they do waitlist EVERYBODY. Some of the waitlisted people on here are truly INCREDIBLE and I don't understand their admissions policies haha</p>

[</em>] Other stats: I have like a bagazillion extracurrics on both natl and local levels... I've done some pretty interesting things with my life. I'm too excited right now too list them...but I really don't think they're THAT much more spectacular than anything the average admitted student has done.
[/ul] SUBJECTIVE:[ul]
[<em>] Essays: I guess that it was good...I spent a really long time on it and got lots of positive reviews from CC people. I liked it but I didn't know if the admissions committee would
[</em>] Teacher Recs: Physics & English teacher...My physics teacher is really tight (he participated in some of the same ECs that I did when he was in high school) and everyone loves him. The schools that I didn't have him write my letters for I didnt' get into and the ones I DID have him write a rec for I have all gotten into...hmm...oh, and my 11th grade english teacher, he doesn't teach at my school anymore but I suppose he must have written me good recs if i got in!
[<em>] Counselor Rec: My counselor loves me. She's also the head of counseling at my (kinda big) school...maybe that gave me extra cred? IDK
[</em>] Hook (if any): Legacy...but my anti-hook is that my mom has never given them money & I've never visited campus.

[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: I guess legacy...I NEVER expected to get in b/c I'm not in the top 10% of my class. Washu was a SUPER reach. I really hope that someone who isn't in the top 10% reads this post next year and feels really encouraged to apply to WashU! I'm so excited right now ahhhhhh! I've already called like everyone I know! Oh and to the people who got referred or dejected (huh?) I'm really sorry and I hope it all works out in the end...I got flat-out rejected from my ED school but I've <em>mostly</em> moved on with my life [/ul] CONGRATS CLASS OF 2012!!
I want to go find somewhere in MD or DC this weekend that sells WashU t-shirts and wear it to school next week!!</p>
<p>Oh, and if you happen to read this and you live in Montgomery County or DC, we should plan a WashU party sometime ;)</p>
