<p>I can’t see why some people gets offended by the wait list, do you really want everyone rejected to feel better? The reality is that only those best “fitters” are accepted in first place, and later those with good stats are given a second chance, the ones that didn’t realized Wash U is a top 15 school and don’t have the stats to get in, are plain rejected (about 14k to 16k every year).
Naviance is only a guide with stats self reported, not every kid report the 20 or so schools he applied to and the results.</p>
