| WashU provides absolutely NO consideration for legacies. My daughter is a NM finalist, top 5% in her class at avery comptetive school, 2360 SAT. She visited the school, interviewed, met with the rep at school and had WU as first choice on NM. Two other less competitive students from her school, who happen to be athletes, were accepted. I have my BA and MS from Wash U, my wife has her BA from Wash U. I participated as an alumni interviewer for several years when they first started the program 15 years ago. We give money every year. Legacy is not a factor with Wash U. |
