So I’m a pretty well-qualified applicant for Wash. U: 4.03 W/3.79 UW GPA at top private dayschool, 2370 SAT, excellent extracurriculars. Wash. U is currently either my first or second choice school, but I think I’m not positive enough about it to apply Early Decision.

My question is: is this going to get me waitlisted at Wash. U because of yield protection? How can I show interest to Wash. U so they know it really is a top choice for me? I’ve visited but I have heard that might not be enough. Somebody help me tell them how much I love Wash. U!
