WUSTL Class of 2017 RD Discussion

<p>They can accept waitlists earlier than May 1. its a numbers game. Also if you requested Financial Aid then its 2 numbers games. 1) do they have room and 2) do they have money.</p>

<p>Accepted</p>

<p>3.52 UW GPA
2200 SAT
Top 4%
No Hooks or URM, Im Asian/Indian</p>

<p>Showed NO interest whatsoever in terms of actual contact or interview or anything. Iā€™m surprised I got in.</p>

<p>My son got in- 32 ACT superscore, 3.8 GPA (UW)- very passionate about community service. Visited the campus and met with a faculty member in the Classics Dept.</p>

<p>should I treat waitlist a positive thing? Does this mean that I somehow meet washuā€™s waitlist standards? Or do they waitlist everyone?</p>

<p>Decision: Rejected</p>

<p>Test scores: 2340 SAT, 34 ACT
GPA: 3.8 UW, 4.3 W
Interest: Applied to Moog (research fellowship, didnā€™t get it), visited through the Discovery Weekend last semester</p>

<p>Shocked and surprised, not sure how this happened. Will definitely try to appeal this.</p>

<p>waitlisted!
33 ACT/2030 SAT/800 MATH2/730 CHEM/4.1W</p>

<p>@bcp - Iā€™m shocked as wellā€¦not sure how much an appeal is going to help, but unless you were arrested fairly recently, I literally have no idea what is upā€¦</p>

<p>It just seems so random. Financial aid is probably a huge part of it.</p>

<p>@nirvana - Iā€™m not exactly sure how many people they waitlist, but it seems like a lot of applicants. And you shouldnā€™t feel bad about being on it anyway. Reading other peopleā€™s scores and as Iā€™ve said a million times itā€™s really unpredictable for WashU.</p>

<p>Waitlisted
2300 SAT, 3.7 UW GPA (10-11), 4.28 W GPA (10-11), 780 Math II, 750 Bio-M
Wash U wasnt very high on my list so I didnā€™t show any extra interest, didnā€™t apply for scholarships either. I was 90% sure I was going to be rejected, so Iā€™m definitely happy with being waitlisted!</p>

<p>I was deferred from ED and got rejected regular. </p>

<p>Are there any people out there who applied to WashU ED and got deferred as well? Or there any who got deferred and were accepted RD? I kind of expected to get either a straight up acceptance or rejection, I doubt they wouldā€™ve dragged it on saying ā€œYou didnā€™t get in ED or RD, but thereā€™s still a slight chanceā€¦ā€. Also, I needed financial aidā€¦</p>

<p>Accepted to the Olin School of Business: 2340 SAT, 3.86 UW GPA (9-11), 4.28 W GPA (9-11), 800 Math II, 760 Chem
probrably not going due to costsā€¦it costs 2X more than UCB
didnā€™t apply for financial aidā€¦</p>

<p>how do you appeal a waitlist? has it ever worked?</p>

<p>This is totally random, but anyone else think that the little logo/picture thing on the top of the web browser tab thing (seen here: [Washington</a> University Admissions](<a href=ā€œhttp://admissions.wustl.edu/Pages/default.aspx]Washingtonā€>http://admissions.wustl.edu/Pages/default.aspx)) looks like a wrestler from the neck to the thighs wearing a green wrestling outfit and green armbands??</p>

<p>Confusing description, I know, and totally random, I know, but EVERY TIME I go on their website I think the same thingā€¦</p>

<p>Wait listed ā€¦ Honestly thought I was gonna get rejected hahah so Iā€™m kinda happyā€¦</p>

<p>2120 sat, 3.82 gpa, strong essay, no interest at all, strong ecā€™s and sat2s</p>

<p>@carbs2</p>
