Washington University in St. Louis Class of 2021 RD Discussion Thread

Waitlisted. I hear this essentially means no? Will probably reject my spot unless I don’t get in anywhere else besides my state school.

Accepted!! Anyone know if the Eliot scholarship is for all 4 years?

Rejected…ton of interest, deferred from ed… I guess my sat is too low…

congrats to everybody who got accepted!! i unfortunately am not one of those people but its okay, i still respect the school and trust that they had valid reasons for my decision. i’m just curious, why is everybody talking about how much interested they demonstrated as an applicant? does demonstrated interest have a high correlation with acceptances at washu or something? i had no idea that was the case.

Accepted into College of Arts & Sciences! Hoping to hear from Northwestern soon with good news…

Congratulations to those accepted! To those of you who are accepted, did you all apply for the scholarship? did you all write additional essay for scholarship? thanks!

Does WASHU reject on RD or only waitlist?

washU is one of the schools that takes demonstrated interest into account, though demonstrated interest cannot mitigate easy course load, few EC’s or lack of continuous participation in EC’s, a generic common app essay, mediocre recs, etc.

@wrangler007 washu rejects and waitlists

Got in. College of Architecture. International. ACT 33 (superscore 34).
I am so grateful…

A friend of mine’s daughter got waitlisted. Does anyone know where to find waitlist acceptance rates for WUSTL? The more recent the better!

I got in! My first acceptance…I started crying I was not expecting it. Very blessed and thankful.

Wait-listed, and honestly content. 2160 SAT super score

Accepted to Arts and Sciences! Super excited.

35 ACT, four 700+ Subject Tests (Math II, Literature, US History, Spanish), 4.18 weighted GPA, top 10% of class at competitive public high school. Great ECs (5 leadership positions) and I would like to believe recs were good too, no way to know though. Showed a ton of demonstrated interest: attended information session, drove 7 hrs to St. Louis just to tour and interview, corresponded with Admissions Officer who was from my city and said WashU needed more kids from my area.

Also had one “connection,” if you will: a prominent executive in St. Louis who is a friend of my mom’s said he would put in good word on my behalf after we met a few months ago. Not sure if this carried any weight but it’s likely worth noting.

It was really a perfect storm for me. I’m ecstatic, I’ve been on edge for months and I can finally calm down.

I got in!!! 2230 SAT

Woo rejected.

To everyone that got in congratulations Washu is a great school and im sure you’ll love it there! To everyone that didnt get in but wanted to attend, it’s still early in the process and washu is only one of a ton of amazing good schools. I strongly believe that everyone will find a place that they will end up enjoying.

To all the people who didnt get in and are blaming it on not showing interest, saying washu wasnt their top choice anyway, or applied bc of no supplementals, etc. suck it up and just accept you didnt get in. Stop trying to make yourselves feel better by saying oh i didnt get in simply because i didnt show interest. Maybe your apps werent as hot as you thought they were. And to be honest washu made the right call to reject you guys because i would much rather see people who want to be at washu there rather than people who simply applied because it was easy or can’t even just accept that they didnt get in somewhere.

Hey congrats to everyone that got in. I didn’t anyways and I have a theory that income has a part to play. So please can low-income students that got in just signify and perhaps post thier stats

accepted!!! i did not think I would get in so i’m extremely excited!

I got wait-listed, which is honestly a serious relief considering my ACT scores were not what I believed WashU would want. Congrats to anyone who got in and good luck to everyone!! :slight_smile:
