accepted 3.9 gpa unw, 2280 single sitting, 34 ACT single sitting, and feeling very lucky because I didn’t show interest even though I have interest. Couldn’t visit by time I discovered school and didn’t interview. Great Recs and strong ECs. National Merit Commendation and National Hispanic Scholar. 3 years National scholar athlete awards. not recruitable for sport though.
Wait-listed… Pretty bummed out right now…
Already got an offer from Emory with huge scholarship… Dont know why I got wait-listed…
Is it true that they waitlist some overqualified applicants?
Yes to above question. And to hkcl…Emory with a huge scholarship is HUGE. Great school! We loved it when we applied. Was on the top of son’s list. And certainly warmer…
@ZBD5421 thank you!!! was your son accepted to emory/washU? i’m worred now that this wait-list means posbible denials from other schools (such as Duke) …
@hkcll2015 This wait-list has no effect on the decisions from other schools. Still got the same chance as always.
Accepted! Was definitely not expecting that whoa. Well they definitely took a holistic approach to my application XP (2020 SAT but solid essays, recommendations, very high rank and GPA, IB program, URM…)
Congrats to those accepted and to those rejected: if you’re already applying to WUSTL, you’re probably already applying or have already gotten accepted to other amazing schools. Never lose hope
@WorldExplorer Congrats!
@hkcll2015 I was waitlisted by WUSTL an hour after getting a likely from Duke today. You’ll be fine.
@hkcll2015 your story really does epitomize the admissions process. Congrats on Duke!
Accepted…approx 3.84 GPA unweighted and 2270 SAT for basic stats
Congratulations to all who got accepted! I’m accepted by Sam Fox School, and I have applied for financial aid in my application. In the letter I got it says that “you will receive information from Student Financial Services in a few days”. How long will it usually take for them to send us the financial aid package? Thanks!
Wow Sam Fox! That’s what I applied for… Congrats!
@mhuelvis: My older son was accepted at WUSTL in 2012–financial aid info came within a couple of days, as I recall. Older son is in his junior year there and loves it. Younger son was accepted today We are feeling very fortunate around here.
@AlaskaDads Congratulations to him! Will they provide financial aid that meet 100% demonstrated need as other schools do? I’m an international student from China. Thanks!
@lolyaywoo did you get the likely letter from Duke today??? congratulations!!! may i ask if you were one of the merit scholarship semi/final-lists?
@MomTwo I didn’t get accepted from Duke its my hope that I do…
@mhuelvis: Older son’s financial aid has met our need, but we live in California, and I don’t know if policy is different for international applicants. Oh, and congratulations!
Accepted. SAT 2320
Good Luck
My son just got accepted.
Stats:
His high school does not give out GPAs, but he is probably in the top 10-15 percentile of his class.
2250 SAT. 720 SAT Math, 790 SAT Physics.
AP Scholar (all three 5s in World Hist. Macro Econ, and Physics Mechanics).
Recos are amazing.
Essay is very good.
ECs are good - lots of research work in rural areas on public health and agriculture. Played in televised music concerts, etc. But no strong leadership-type work.
International student, but US citizen.
Congrats and good luck.
