<p>I visited and interviewed last week and am thinking of sending a "Why WashU". Would this be a good idea?</p>

<p>Also if it matters, not applying for financial aid.</p>

<p>Had solid ECs in HS. Couple leadership positions etc.</p>

2

<p>very impressive! Id say you have decent chance for WUSTL, just write an appealing essay about why WashU, good luck!</p>

3

<p>Thanks gobackto2005</p>

<p>However, it appears that my application just got sent to the committee today meaning it's probably too late to send an essay in anyways =/ Oh well, I feel my commonapp essay was good and spoke of legitimate reasons regarding why I want to transfer. It's unfortunate that I wasn't able to send in specific essay for WashU after visiting but I suppose it's not required anyways.</p>

4

<p>got our experimental econ (380) exams back today. </p>

<p>88.5/100 (only freshman in the class though)</p>

<p>will probably send out grade to washU tomorrow.</p>

5

<p>Good chance only if you can continue your stellar performance in the spring semester.</p>

<p>Good luck on admissions!</p>

6

<p>Thanks MakeBank</p>

<p>also, could someone give me chances for Northwestern, University of Rochester, and Claremont McKenna?</p>

<p>Applied to Claremont McKenna ED last year and was rejected.</p>

7

<p>I dunno much about U of Rochester. But Northwestern have pretty friendly acceptance rate for tranfer applicants.
btw, you havent have your transcripts sent out yet? or you mean the econ class etc. for the mid-term report? If you mean the transcripts, u'd better hurry up or either have them faxed though...</p>

8

<p>oh no, my transcripts have been sent out. Just washU doesn't say anything about a midterm report so I have been sending washU copies of my exams. Just to show them that I haven't been slacking off and that I am towards the top of my upper level courses.</p>

9

<p>I'd say you are most likely in. I spoke to them last year and the average GPA for both Emory and WUSTL is 3.5</p>

10

<p>Thanks Bruins, I sure hope so :X I'm nervous as hell. Just want to know where I'm going next year.</p>

11

<p>I think you look great!
Just a curious question, you are an Indian and also a member of Chinese Student Association?</p>

12

<p>haha yes, I am Indian and a member of Chinese Student Association. Thanks for the chances!</p>
