<p>In reading these posts over the years you will find that some people, and I suspect they are those who were not accepted at Wash U, accuse it of all sorts of things, including having a “massive” waitlist, wait listing “overqualified” students, etc. yet most of those who are actually going to the school have few complaints. In fact, the majority of students appear to be so happy with the school, that many from the outside describe students as having almost a cult-like devotion. Again, while some people on CC describe Wash U as doing one thing or another wrong in terms of admissions, once a student is there, the administration is very responsive to the students and works harder than I have seen at most schools to make it the best experience possible for them. That is not to say that no one has a complaint here or there, of course they do, but most students and parents seem to be very pleasantly surprised by the school once they are there.</p>
