WUSTL Class of 2017 RD Discussion

<p>rejected 2280sat 2400sat2 3.88 GPA what the ****</p>

<p>Wowā€¦ I got inā€¦ this is extremely unexpected as I showed zero interest. I feel very mixed at the moment as I am not sure whether I deserved this place as much as those who wanted to get in so badly. Congratulations to those accepted and Iā€™m so sorry to those who were waitlisted or denied - from experience of applying last year and getting rejected from all US unis, I promise you that things do work out in the end but you just have to hang in there.</p>

<p>Wait listed:
32 ACT
3.95 GPA
Lots of community service
No demonstrated interest</p>

<p>Better than I expected!</p>

<p>Waitlisted :confused: To be honest itā€™s really just sort of an ego-killer! I was accepted UChicago EA and wasnā€™t going to attend WUSTL anyway, but I will not be accepting a spot on waitlist so hopefully that gives you guys a slightly better chance!?:)</p>

<p>Stats:
-34 ACT (single sitting, took it once)
-3.95 GPA (4.4 Weighted I think?)
-Captain of 3 clubs for multiple years (ScienceO,OceanB,NHS)
-Captain of varsity sport
-Two research projects at local university
-Volunteering in hospital 200+ hrs ICU
-Work in hospital
-Board Member of Non-profit orgo
-Really competitive high school IB diploma (7 subject candidate)
-0 Demonstrated Interest :confused: Never visited the school or went to an information meeting about it and never even replied to the interview email (forgot about it unfortunately haha)</p>

<p>I really hope that all of you get into the school that you want! You all deserve it!:)</p>

<p>Oh and I requested financial aid, UChicago estimated 42k in grants per year so Iā€™m assuming WUSTL would have been similar, idk if that means anything</p>

<p>Accepted! Washu was my #1 and i showed a ton of interested,
2200 sat, 3.7 gpa
IB Diploma</p>

<p>Congrats to all who got in!I was rejected after being deferred from ED.
32 ACT, tons of leadership, community service, demonstrated interest, etc. </p>

<p>JUST WONDERING: </p>

<p>Iā€™ve been told by many that if you need lots of financial aid, it lessens your chance of getting in. Iā€™d be curious if the majority of people who were waitlisted/rejected needed a lot of financial aid. Just throwing it out there.</p>

<p>I got in!! 10char</p>

<p>my EFC is 5k and i got in</p>

<p>34 ACT</p>

<p>@jaccrazzi
yeaā€¦ I really hope needing financial aid was why I was rejected. Then I would be more hopeful about need blind schools.</p>

<p>(My net price was $3k hahaā€¦)</p>

<p>Waitlisted o. O</p>

<p>For those that got waitlisted/rejected: Donā€™t lose hope for other schools! Iā€™ve been admitted early/likely letter to Stanford, Yale, and Columbia, yet was still waitlisted at WashU.</p>

<p>Daughter WL. Stats consistent with others also on WL; NMF, 2290 SAT single sitting, similar SAT IIs, excellent grades, ECs, etc. etc. No demonstrated interest. Sheā€™s already been accepted to schools that were higher on her list, which is particularly nice at this point.</p>

<p>Good luck to all who are still waiting. She couldnā€™t get in to Pathway using Firefox, but got in using IE on the second or third try.</p>

<p>Waitlisted. I need financial aid, but I think itā€™s more than that. WashU has a reputation for waitlisting loads of applicants to increase yield. Then again, it might just be that Iā€™m not what they want. Oh well. Iā€™ve already been accepted to one selective LAC and Iā€™m waiting on 10 other schools, so no biggie.</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone who got in!</p>

<p>@coolpillow It might be so. Are schools completely ā€œneed-blindā€ anyways? </p>

<p>@ccuser95 Thanks for that insight! I feel that WashU is very, very random in their selection and no on can really understand their rhyme or reason. Haha. Congratulations on your other acceptances!!! Truly incredible, canā€™t understand why WashU didnā€™t take you already :)</p>

<p>Waitlistedā€¦ 34 ACT, 3.89. I shouldnā€™t have expected more, I showed little to no interest.</p>

<p>Accepted. Stats later</p>

<p>Actually, I have time. 2140 Black male from NYC. No interest shown, so im shocked.</p>

<p>Did anyone get into WashU engineering</p>

<p>hahahaah when I saw ā€œThe Admissions Committee has decided to offer you a placeā€ I was so happy and then I saw ā€œon the waitlistā€¦ā€ lol :(</p>

<p>Waitlisted :/</p>

<p>Canā€™t believe how many CCers are getting W/L</p>
