Washington University in St. Louis - class of 2021 regular decision applicant thread

Hello! So I have been searching for a regular decision applicant thread for WashU 2021 but can’t seem to find one. I figured I might as well start it. As a high school senior who is SUPER stressed about college I find it so helpful to talk to other people about their application/college process. Post whatever stats/questions/concerns you have to this thread.
Good luck everybody:)
