Washington University in St. Louis - Applying RD to Class of 2024

I got in!! For engineering :smiley:

Are all these qualified waitlist potentially due to a lack of demonstrated interest? @kmmord

officially admitted!

I got waitlisted. I was honestly expecting a rejection so I’m lowkey proud of myself lol. Idk if I’ll accept the spot but it’s something

@hockey731 when/how did you hear from vanderbilt??

My son felt the same way. He printed the letter and put it on the wall next to his acceptances. He didn’t do that with his other wait-list. LOL.

Somebody mentioned that the waitlist might be ranked at WashU. Does anybody know for sure…and is it possible to get the ranked number from admissions?

Officially admitted into Olin!

lol fat rejection

I could see that. I toured, but never talked to my admissions counselor or went out of my way to show interest. Not too bothered since I can’t afford it anyways.

That’s my guess. She didn’t visit.

Ayooo rejection check

Son waitlisted. Now just waiting to see what Northwestern says.

Their website indicates that it is not a ranked waitlist and is more dependent on availability in different schools/programs. Check here for more: https://admissions.wustl.edu/wait-list-information/

Anyone know how many people were considered in the regular pool?

1540SAT + 780M2 + 750 PHYS + 4.0UW

Waitlisted. Honestly, I expected a rejection. Didn’t show much Demonstrated Interest and didn’t visit due to personal time constraints.

I accepted a spot on the waitlist and plan on sending a follow-up email. To any WashU connoisseurs here, do you have any tips for showing some kind of DI after being waitlisted? I’m not banking on WashU but I’m glad to know I wasn’t flat out rejected. Unless WashU WL’s everyone?
Thanks.

Did anyone get an email or was the decision just through the portal?
D20 got her decision via the portal:

Accepted to the school of engineering. Stats: ACT 35, GPA unweighted 4.0, NMF, Varsity sport team captain, and some other ECs associated with her major (Computer Science).

Rejected

  • 36 ACT
  • 800 SAT Subject Test
  • 4.5 GPA
  • Lots of community, service, and athletic ECs
  • Never visited
  • URM. They knew I would have better offers and wouldn’t go anyway? LOL.

“No one on the wait list has an actual rank. If space is available, we have to determine what “kind” of space it is. In other words, if we are under-enrolled in any one of our five undergraduate divisions (Architecture, Art, Arts & Sciences, Business, or Engineering), we will seek wait list candidates with those interests. Unfortunately, we are unable to anticipate what type of space we will have, if any, until several weeks after May 1.”

my friend just got in!! any idea how she can check her financial aid award?
