Showing interest... (yield protection?)

Visiting is the number one way of showing interest.

You mentioned you go to a private school- I’m assuming you have college visitors like my school did? If a WashU rep is going to your school, be sure to go to that.

Another option is the regional meeting in your area- make sure to go to that and talk with your AdRep.

Do these and you’re more than fine. But still remember that getting into WashU is a crapshoot for nearly everyone. If you get waitlisted it doesn’t necessarily mean it was for yield protection.

Besides- to all those out there who claim WashU is trying to protect their yield, why would they? It’s not to “game the rankings” like some idiots on this board try to claim, considering that the USNews doesn’t take yield into account for its ranking anyway.
