LMFAO
its tufts way of turning in a late assignment ig
I did

you don’t seem very optimistic? only 8 As
well im 2/8 in us unis so far
and i consideired them more target lmao
god knows for the reach
like which?
i didn't even get this why😭😭
I mean UNC chappel hill is a reach cuz they’re mad weird OOS
did u request?
i didnt even get ts bro
yes
Northwest territory in the 1800s
or which i get rejected from
which targets did you not get into
o
Is WashU today
twas 45 minutes ago
How’d it go
check the poll in pins
also what's the chance of getting off of it
lemme go check the cds
chances arent horrible tbh
So cooked
WashU tends to do that
200 is a ton
more than a lot of other schools
reminds me of cornell
Rd is rough for WashU
at least it isn't like tulane
They take most people Ed1/2 or wl
7% waitlist rate
Real
2 people off the waitlist ahh
Did you get in solar???
uchicago is most egregious
thats not horrible
what's acceptance rate for RD?
literally everyone WL
solar was ed
yea i'm a scholar
Dang really
no rd
ohh scholarship??
yea
ggwp
do people who got waitlisted ed 2 get priority
OMG CONGRATS!!!! What’s the scholarship??
early acceptance via scholar
Bro must go now
Dang bro
It depends on the yr
Bro wtffff
jeesus
Georgia tech is dum
I hope you a re
what would u take over washu
or go to brown
Berkeley took 25% off the wl the yr before me and then 26 PEOPLE my year that were all intl/oos
ngl yale and brown my fav ivies
Bruh
lowk if i got plme i'd go
Full tuition
Valid
exact
brown plme is insaneeeee
lu
righttt
Full tuition at WashU over brown regular and Yale though
praying
is it too early to send a loci?
if it wasnt so close to home i wouldve ed'd brown
a girl from my school got it last year
Roi on that is insane
brown is so cool
well they can still get aid from brown/yale
One of my friends got wl
idk their income tho
i'm very rich
Yeah true
But you don’t get perks
oh
aid is not a problem i fear
yeahhh
is it little enough of a problem that you can pay full COA for yale/brown
if you don’t mind me asking
wdym
And if you’re premed WashU ✅
oh yea imnpremed
Yeah bro WashU all the way
like would washu scholar > yale/brown
trust
it really depends
that's why i'm waiting to see in 2 weeks
I was talking to a doctor who actually was in brown plme (whne it was a 7 yr program) and bro left it after undergrad
did it drop yet?
and then we'll discuss
if money doesn't matter go to the ivy
yale is good for premed bc grade inflation tho
gotcha
oh
WashU is amazing for premed too
why????
He transferred to UCI instead
im not too knowledgeable about premed
yeah and washu has hard weeder clases
so like idk
same
but brown's grades seem interesting
yale was before interview szn
Brown plme is crazy
Brown is expensive asf and in state tuition for ucs + he wasn’t a huge fan of the program
brown #1
really
Unless you’re at like Cornell
grade inflation and providence 😻
Or Uchi
Everyone says “weeder” this weeder that
or Princeton
What’s plme
wait chat who got in 🙏
washu off campus housing is cheap asf
i'm silently hoping i get rejected so that way life is easier in april
like outside the immediate clayton area
If I am getting a 99 on a test as a not cracked person I do not think that it is a weeder class
Yeah
true
at least in comparison to ny stuff
Idk all my premed friends here say they are
Weeder is just cope imo unless you’re an Eng/math/etc
They say that here too
It’s really not
omg ok trust
r u washu
No
thats how i feel about harv/mit lol
Another premed big school
yea idk anything about that but maybe it’s cuz we feed into washu med school
Very cool
No
so i'm excited about my courses
which makes me think
rhat i'll enjoy the pain more
the department here is fyee
and enjoy the studying more if i actually like my classes
I wanted to apply to Yale lowkey but I got late
Oh really
WashU med cracked
Unfortunately this has not been true for me but I hope it is for you
No
sam fox is dope too right
But still good
oh damn
like isn’t architecture at washu really high
yea
yess, really cool professors too
trust
washu is regional enough for my state med school to prioritize my app more
too
ugh i need march to be over
anyways congrats to everyone, if any of yall have washu questions lmk !!
why is it called washington, I’m curious
it’s not in DC or the state
GWU is alr named are georgie
Also named after George Washington
how good is the biomed engineering :0
Do you have an idea of when the waitlist results come out?
may-july
Guess I’m gonna reject the offer 🔥
noo
accept it
waitlist usually comes after may 1st
It’s not my typa school tbh
o ok
u have to commit before may 1
Ya
schools dip into their waitlists after may 1
I don’t wanna go through the recommitment stuff and all that
u can commit to a wl school u just lose ur deposit to whatever school u committed to
my take is that theres no harm in accepting a place on the wl
but if its rlly not ur kinda school then i wouldnt
It will free up space on the waitlist for ppl who acc wanna go 🔥
Do u think ur gonna go?
i didnt apply lol
Ohh sorry lol
Nah
There is
Especially if you have no intention of going
Yeah I mean just imagine you were on that wl
Per yr
Yeah WashU is quite expensive
Ya
For some reason I applied for no financial aid
😭
Thought that would help me
Sooo 90k/yr would be rough
Was there an interview for WashU\
Dw gang im sure you have many more options 🔥
only a weird video thing
Only for the special scholars programs if u were selected as finalist
I'm 2/7 rn 💀
2 options is better than 0 gang
AH
My school is cooked for washu
Last year we had six acceptances and 0 enrolled out of like 80
can i send a loci to washu after being waitlisted
I assume u can bc they say u can provide updates on ur academic profile
It prob won’t be released onto the portal for a bit tho
Nicee
Do u think ur gonna go?
24k a year….
I want to negotiate it down to under 20k so scholarships can cover the rest
is it normal for a school to waitlist 40% of people
hi icon 💜 is research accessible for compsci or at least engineering? trying to get a vibe for how competitive it is over there
for a2c? I think yes
holy shit they waitlisted me ed2 and i got off it today
CONGRATS
or research in general if that's too specific
gg
PERIOD!!!
wow.. did u send a loci btw?
thank youuu
already?
no
ah ok
wait why did they wl if they accept with rd students
it’s not like anybody turned down their offers yet
spit
who got into washu
like 3 ppl
damn
everyone wl
i still haven't gotten the email😭
Tbf more people apply Caltech
u think so?
they only take like 245 tho
But a2c is a weird subset of people
washu takes thousands
And Caltech is a lot of the particularly online college nerds
real too many stem kids
congrats to those accepted!
Because it’s not that widely known of a school
thank u bakwe
So it makes sense that a2cers would be more likely to attend Caltech
ofcc
why is washu instate yield so high
70% instate yield
44% oos yield
55% itl yield
People wanna go where theyre familiar
57 overall yield
if anyone has questions about washu or anything related feel free to askk
thats pretty good ngl
its like regional prestige i think
rice is the holy grail in texas, duke in like the southeast
oh that makes sense
it's also considered I think one of the best colleges academic wise in the state
washu and uchi are really strong in the midwest
its weird that a lot of ppl dont acc know uchi
def the best
like uchi is so prestigious at my skl
what course r u pursuing :0
I'm double major in international affairs and chinese prelaw
its really lowk tbh and it has a rep for being hard asf
holy
cracked
ooh cool cool
wait guys im so confused abt the email sitution. getting an email = you got in??
would you have idea about engineering like the biomedical side
your portal dictates ur decision
you got in if ur portal says so
I have some friends in engineering so possibly
my sister is doing bme @ bu
awesome :0
Mainly wanted to ask about like workload (this doesn't really matter that much) and like internships, opportunities, work experience stuff
okk im just nervous cause i have to wait 6 more hours beofre i can open mine 😭
oh rip im sorry
just go to the portal
just open it
it should be out for everyone
even if u didn’t get na email
an
very vaguely bc I'm not in engineering school but the workload is a decent but, but there's enough time to do research and internships and professors are very open to undergrad involvement
don't know too much but that's the general
is research hard to get into? like, notably hard at least
From what I’ve heard, it isnt
ohh im like not too sure but i know there’s a lot of opportunities to be research assistants. Not too sure on specifics like cs and engineering tho, I’ll ask around
omg thank you 💜
pretty good but ive heard it’s very rigorous
@quaint ridge
Idk how I made a video did an interview wrote all the supps did a LOCI, and a creative piece and got rejected
bro they must really hate me
there are more qualified applicants than spots available
you are still a qualified applicant
Northeastern is a wack school ur good bro
I didn't even know they gave interviews
or did the video
how the fuck did i get in
Ppl ppl idk why ppl talk smack about ST. Louis, as someone who has lived in STL and many other cities, STL is a good city and like maybe 1/12 of the city is dangerous ppl just hate to hate. It’s like Chicago in the sense that it’s like one small area that’s dangerous
I thought st louis was boujee n upper class
Some areas are but it’s much cheaper than Cali
You sign up for one
Congrats!!
thank you
I think i missed the deadline or something 😭
st louis is dangerous anyway
Hahaha clearly didn’t hurt you
oh ok should I withdraw
Is this your top?
no I'm a noncommittal fraud
wow what a term
mit decision tomorrow let me in and my life is yours
If STl is dangerous LA, SF,NYC, Chicago, Philly and Boston are dangerous
u missed baltimore
lowkey NYC is pretty wack from experience but live laugh love it
will always live there
but are they not dangerous? 😭
Bro every city has a dangerous area
All colleges r in wack cities or towns
Unless u live in Hill Billy land
act st loui has chilled out alil
ucf location clears
it won’t be easy but possible
unfort
WHAT
but do u get water bottle
I WANT A SHIRT WTF
hold on lemme see OMG
HELP
no its for everyone lol
idk if everyone gets this
but i think??
bc like wtff

Not the other stuff tho
BUT I JS want SMTH
I haven’t gotten an acceptance package other than usc which was… stickers
ily usc tho 🩷
The dean of admissions
omg
washu isn’t a huge school right
it’s like 4k accepted ppl a year
i guess they have time
to pamper everyone
like 4k*20 a shirt is like 80k
which is fine
no it’s small ish
our total undergrad population is 7k
p small
All I got from WashU was stickers and the red t-shirt 😭

make*
You wouldn’t by chance happen to be competing in New Jersey?

💀

What format of debate is it
Sounds like a dumb pre-prepared case kind of debate

idk it was one of my fav schools but the last paragraph made it hurt a little less lol
so sweet
same
should;ve eded
my parents didnt let me Ed anywehre
Same ugh, i realized too late that i liked this school a lot
Yeah im honestly happy im going to college lol
yess fr!
this was a hard school to get into but i don't regret trying bc im glad i know and who knows maybe med school will work out lolol
ofccccc, time to move on and enjoy life as it is frrrrr
did you get accepted?
im more interested in big sportsy schools
aww thats still awesome tho :)))
the first one that popped in my head was UMich vibes lol
oooh good luck!!! You will do awesome
ofc ofc, ima just waiting on northeastern waitlists rn but most likely penn state atm
did a lot of people get rejected?
thats firee
r u from pa by chance?
psu is my state school
i highly recommend
nopeee, TX but its between PSU and NCSU rn if my deferral goes to an acceptance for NCSU that is
I used to live in maryland tho so im familiar with psu slightly
oh nicee
oooh i love cwruuu
toured both and like both
idk which i';d choose if i got into both tho
I know a lot of people at CWRU but i know u shouldnt let that influence your decision
ive heard its a great school
its kinda like brown where u can just do wahtever the hell you want
somewaht yeah
like
theres no solid pre reqs
they just have clusters
s ofor example if im majoring in a natural science
i need to do my clsuer in a socai lscience and a humanitiy
clusters are like 1-3 clases
after that youre free
thats interesting
if thats ur vibe then go for it!
theyre like
mini minors
u can turn a clsuter into a minor or double major if u like it
never heard of that kinda curriculum
thats fire
yea hits unique to the school
Yeahhh
its likely going to coem down to aid
if i ge t into both
cause its closeby
like 1 hr drive or sm
CWRU is 3 hrs
still not that far
not bad
you'll figure it out!
thankfully u still got time to decide
i need to take flights to get to my top choice schools 😭
i need to get into both
maybe it wont matteer cause if i get into emory im going there over both
already got rejected from washui tho so idk ☠️
Oooh emory is v similar to washu
ik bc I did ED to there lol
I ended wishing i did ED2 to washu tho bc i loved their research a lot more
bros a victim 💔
u still got it gang
sure it is loll
i applied for marketing but i would still be interested in research
Ik it was too late alas but it was fun while it lasted
dww
its more about your drive, not the school itsef
also now you can explore more schools!
yesss
does emory waitlist hella
i did ed2 so im not sure ngl
i got rejected tho and kinda never looked back whoops
dudee dont worry about it
go to the school that is ur best fit
rankings r important but they shouldnt be the determinant
nah nah ur right lol
u js gotta work hard
yeaaa
tbh name brand value helps with opening the doors to more opportunities
but if u work hard at another school then you will get the same
u will gang
btw if a t20-t30 or whatever is the right school for u then be so inclined to go to one
but im just saying keep ur eyes open
is it hard to get out of waitlist
7% waitlist -> acceptance rate
ooooh makes sense, thanks a lot :)
WHEREWHEREWHERE
Ooooh rn its loooking like PSU but if northeastern waitlist or NCSU deferral works out then it’s those :)))
awesome
Unless I miraculously get into a reach ofc
Thank youuuuu, do you have any schools in mind 🙂
i'm manifesting tmr
Nope I heard ucs and mit coming out so good luckkk
stressed about the mit rejection tmr LOL idk why i'm even a little hopeful for uchicago either 😭
but hoping for uchicago comp lit
and hopefully the ucs bc state schools for me
Nah no matter what you’ll cook dwdw
Real march is like so scary but also I wanna get it all over with
YES
i wanna get to april bro
Sameeee by April ik for sure
Other than waitlists like I’m gonna commit and hope for the best
No literally and now that anticipation is almost over and I’m both excited and freaking out
EXACTLY
Well I got in here which is such a relief
Ooooh slayyyyy, are you gonna go? Or like waiting on some other reaches rn
Waiting on a few more reaches, tufts, uva, columbia, vanderbilt, duke (which is my personal fav), rice
yea ^
Ooooh I did Duke ED, I loved it as well!!! I wish you the besttttt
I did JHU and carry EDs
*darty
Ooh Duke and Emory for me 🙂
waitlisted and rejected respectively 😹
Rejected for both for me but lowk wasn’t expecting anything lolol
you waiting on any unis?
Just ivies and nyu and NCSU and im done after that
well im hoping for the best 🤠
ivy day gonna be 🔥
Let’s just say all my rd schools are reaches so I’m committing to whatever one I get
ivies are reaches for like 99% people
Oh yeah ofc ofc
ncsu is perfect for engineering
def a good school
Oooh im ngl im a neuro major but i liked NCSU bc i used to live there and got rejected by unc and Duke lol
I’m oos for nc tho so we shall see
aw no
fellow duke reject here too lol
im in state so unc had my back
Twinnnn, I wasn’t even expecting an acceptance but would’ve been funnnn
right
Oooh ate that upppp
TYYY
i got waitlisted by unc 🤠
Did you apply to nyu then
im glad i got it so now i dont have to be too scared abt reaches
Bc I was confused if you got in but it might be a manifesting thing with the question mark lol
ye just manifestations lol
Oooh im also doing nyu but steinhardt, I wish you luck ong
Oos?
Bc if so that’s like a feat, it’s basically impossible for oos kids with unc
i had UF before this so I definitely wasn't the MOST worried
Ohhhh valid, you’re literally so goated for that what
Getting into crazy schools like 😎
Thank u homie
I got into almost every public school I applied to except GAtech and UNC
but their fees 🤠
UF was most affordabel
should i have no hopes if i got waitlisred
u should have hope but not very much
200/2700 last year
how many ppl applied again
i take waitlists as rejections ngl
cuz if u expect that then u won't be dissapointed
40,000 🤮
lol why
PF and policy sound like a whole lot of spreading, kritikal arguments and working on one boring ahh policy case with mountains of evidence for months
pls washu take me off waitlist
thank u washu for adopting me again 🙏🏼
if my npc for washu says i'd get full tuition in aid does that mean i have a low chance of gettng off waitlist
if ur intl then yes
the waitlist is need aware, so if you're able to pay full tuition then you have a better chance of getting off the waitlist
to my knowledge idk if it's changed
What about someone who’s accepted but needs more aid…do they consider?
You would have to talk to the financial aid office to see your options.
I’m just waiting for other colleges decisions, and then I’ll email them, that would be the ideal way ig
But I hope it won’t be too late tho
So I’m Cooked
sooo who's signed up for bear day and is also struggling with choosing a hotel...
bc I have to fly in on the 10th and fr stay like, a whole day there 😭
guys what are yalls opinions on tufts vs washu for BME
Obviously WashU (totally unbiased opinion)
YAAAA 🗣️
Bc on a real note WashU is super strong for anything medicine related
And has massive research funding (well ig we’ll see if the current administration does anything abt that…)
yes I've heard it's defo my top choice
I'm waiting on my aid offer cuz of certain stuff not being processed initially as I'm not in the US currently
I see I see
i mean unless I get dih university 🥀 or like rice?
Rice and WashU for BME shouldn’t have much of a diff so I would decide that by amnt of aid
def washu. on usnews bme in washu is 9 in the country
washu biomed is top tier
real
Yess and washu campus is so pretty
yall going to the bear days?
Im going to the one on the 29th
i may up ending going to that one too since it looks like the april 4th days have filled uo
I see
FOR REAL
wish I could
what's up? busy?
halfway across the world 💀
i didn't even notice you were international mb
I'm not international sorryy need to change that I'm a citizen
ahh so you just live abroad
I'm going to apr 11th!! skipping prom bc I love free flights
yes !!!
washu 100%
is it funded or nah
cos i wanna go if it’s not hella expensive
i’m from cali

but i like traveling
idk, i heard that you could apply or ask to be flown in from one of my friends
i got a travel grant in my decision letter.. or an email, i forgot! but the flight is free if you get that
do yk what the dates are for bear days
it's probably full but . iirc the 4th, 11th, and 21st?
thankss, I’m gonna be paneling one of em so I might see yall 🫡
did anyone get off waitlist
I think that starts May 1
yall how long does it generally take to get your aid offer once u update a document requirement (I had some issues w the tax return form cuz my parents r international)
waitlist decisions arent made until after they know how many people committed
Can I ask them to give me a travel grant to go to bear days?
WashU RD results?
50
119
3
Rejected
probably wouldnt hurt to ask 🙏
i hope not
i saw a post that someone got a little key fob thing but idk if that was from bear day or not
i hope so i would like merch
u get 1 free shirt and some other stuff as well!
I got that
what percent of people get off the waitlist?
200/2713 = 7 %
You can search up “WashU Common Data Set” on Google and also look up other years—scroll to section C2
That’s not too bad
The waitlist isn’t too big in the first place
But it’s need aware so I’m cooked
luckily theres more! theres like a phone wallet, wristlet key chain thing, a red shirt, a pennant, stickers
also if you go to bear days you get a ton of free stuff
any1 willing to look over washu loci?
Yeah if u still need, but i'm busy today and tomorrow night
i js submitted it yesterday but ty!
Gl!
ty! maybe ill see u on campus this fall C:
Hopefully 🙏
i got an offer thingy for psych they basically send u a soft acceptance interest letter and if u accept they send u a formal acceptance
northern california
lmaoo tyyy its lwk messing w my plans tbh because im committed to umich oos
oooh
lowk if youre doing psych pre-med washu is worth
but both are solid congratsss
but i lwk got attached to mich 🥀🥀🥀 im still deciding they lwk j give u 4 days to decide
mich is great
Kinda crazy giving you 4 days to decide the next 4 years of your life
movement in nj - friend got off but he's going to ucla prolly
Hoping this is the right thread, but my sister just got off the waitlist for WashU, does anyone know how housing will work for her since the deadline is past? And are there any forums or places with information on housing that havebeen sent already?
I’d definitely recommend to reach out to admissions with questions! But if you want I can forward the original housing email that we got and such!
Would be happy to help in anyway I can!
Just PMd you! Thanks
I heard waitlist is cooked if u need fin aid bc all their fin aid offers have been finalized according to Reddit
I’m prob gonna withdraw soon
from washu?

got into WashU's Fly in program but seems like they changed it from years past
wait if you don't mind me asking what changed? js curious bc i did it 2 years ago
We have specific theme days instead of like whole previews
I thibk there's like 5 categories or smth
but basically getting divided by prospective majors
anyone know where we can see our ap scores early
They’re out now
Workday profile then academics then external records
tysm
only for grads right
