Thoughts on WashU ED Pre Med?

For private full pay dd with great rigor and 3.9+ low 1500 SAT? Not metro area but NE. Musical, 1 varsity sport, med research and volunteering.

I get the impression WashU loves kids from the elite privates (those rejected by the top Ivies).

They came to our school.college fair, so may be committed to our school? Otherwise ED Northwestern, legacy at Emory so that may be ED2 because really doesn't want south ( despite lots of coaching that it's urban and not untra conservative

WashU wants a LOT of demonstrated interest (even if ED1 or ED2- bc if deferred you will have an "affinity score") - make sure to visit and show a lot of interest (bear chat?).

I think its a solid plan for ED1 with those stats!

How is premed going to be different from any other good college?

How could you know this? DI is brand new coming up next year. No history to make this comment.

Ask your IEC or CCO. WashU used to track DI a while ago, too, and stopped. Your counseling team should be able to guide you here.

They claimed in the previous CDS that DI is not considered to make them sound more friendly to underprivileged kids. I’ve always thought they may secretly consider DI anyway.

They used to count it 4 years ago, then stopped. And now they are again. This isn't rocket science and is something you would know if you'd taken a moment to search (before you accusatorily post as a reflux).

Btw, your style is recognizable to all of us - you don't what you're talking about, so sit this one out, grandma.

Probably the most competitive, since its med school is in the top 3-5 of the country.

Is it silly to use ED1 for WashU here versus Emory ED1 legacy?

I have a friend with a premed there, they are very happy.

I also have a premed at a top school. My best advice is a school where they fit and will be happy, land comfortably in top quarter, and have close access to research, clinical, and shadow opportunities. This will make a long arduous path the least cumbersome and set them up for success.

If he cant get into WashU ED1, he wont get into Emory ED2. Make sure hes okay with being rejects from all 3.

You think they are reporting DI doesn’t matter but it really does? 🤦‍♀️
