@JemmaSimmons I totally agree with you that showing interest is incredibly important at WashU as well as at most other schools. I also agree that applying for scholarships at WashU is a great way to show interest. If you look at the WashU Regular Decision thread though for 2017, you will see some people who showed a ton of interest, including applying for scholarships and who got in and some did the same and didn’t get in. Some have very high stats and got in while some with high stats didn’t get in. Some with lower stats got in and some with lower stats didn’t. So many things can be taken into account in admissions decisions including what state you’re from, what your intended major is, if you play a certain instrument that there is a need for, etc…IMO, the best way to give yourself the best possible chance of getting into WashU, is by applying ED. If it truly is your first choice, then apply ED and apply for scholarships, show interest, etc… and know that you did everything you could.
