Can the accepted students share stats, accepted/intended major, etc.?

curious how the portal astrology ended up leaning with regard to those accepted, waitlisted and rejected? was there any pattern? need to either confirm or deny these things now because to go through these posts for 72 hours every cycle is just too much.

90

Had the visit us, admissions officer, and counselor; got rejected

91

Waitlisted. No changes to the AO info and pictures. Everything stayed the same in the portal until a few hours ago. The optional essay and ā€œvisit and engageā€ section were both removed

92

D25 WL. didnā€™t look at portal enough to contribute to portal astrology discussion.

Accepted. Business. Female. Valedictorian. 99% SAT. Public high school.
No merit though, so itā€™s too high $$$$ for us. So not happening. She tried. Weā€™re proud of her, but full pay more than weā€™re willing to pay.

Rejected. 4.0 UW, 34 ACT, Natā€™l Merit Scholar finalist, Valedictorian, I.B. diploma, good E.C.s and LORs. :neutral_face: Meh, she wouldnā€™t have gone without a lot of merit, since we werenā€™t going to pay full price, so it was not a big loss. But it would have been a nice pat on the back for all her hard work.

For portal reference: No Visit us info, but the AO and Admissions Counselor were still both there.

OOS DS rejected CS. Small private school. Cambridge AICE diploma. 5 APs, 11 college courses (over and above school curriculum), school GPA UW 4.22 college transcript GPA 4.00 SAT 1600,one attempt, NMF. The way we are coping is that Wash U must have thought that DS will not attend if offered admission :smile: :smile:
