Is WashU declining?

[Anonymous]

Wash U is def on the decline. And it’s not just bc it’s in Missouri. They are trying to figure out who they are. That being said, schools go through cycles and it could be a great time to get in. It’s still a great education.

Assuming they accepted around 700 students, only around 1700 applied ED1.

That's always been the case. Why now?

Why would a kid choose WashU over so many other options coast to coast.
I think it will fall to 30 soon on the rankings.

Someone is still bitter 30 years later that she didn’t get in.

Bwahahahah!!!!! yeah no.

Also thinking yes, but that’s OK. I’m sure the school you ended up at was fine.

Somewhere, a very sad person is having a conversation with his or herself on this thread.

I’m sorry you got triggered PP. But keep it up, your insecurities are really showing now! It’s ok if you send your kid there. We won’t think less of you.

I thought St Louis was a great place to go to college. It has 2.8 million people, so about the same size as metro Baltimore, and bigger than Pittsburgh, or Austin, or Nashville, or Raleigh Durham. It has a lot of great cultural institutions (art museums, theatre, orchestra) established back when it was one of America's biggest cities, and it has pro sports, and shopping (St Louis has both a Saks and Neimans, which is more than most US cities can say), and affordable restaurants and clubs, and gets good concerts. The metro area has higher educational levels than Pittsburgh, or Charleston and Savannah, or Dallas - there's a reason why so much science and engineering based business comes out of St Louis. University City had charms (and some rougher streets on the other side of Delmar that you'd avoid after dark). And the campus is about three blocks from St Louis' Ritz Carlton, so this notion that WUSTL is in a dangerous neighborhood is kind of silly.

As a place to go to college, St Louis is miles better than some of the backwaters and strip mall cities people are constantly talking up here. And, most importantly, i was there to get an education, not to write articles for Conde Nast Traveler.

I'm assuming all the "St Louis sucks" comment are coming from the same troll, because I can't believe DMV is as provincial as that loser sounds.

Unless you live in Missouri, it's definitely not a first choice location.

I don't think anyone had heard of it 30 years ago.

USNWR ranked WashU #18 in 1994, #20 in 1993, and #18 in 1992. It's hardly an upstart.

26% ED acceptance rate, according to the CDS: https://wustl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/wustl-cds-2022-2023.pdf

Most schools don’t report acceptance rate by round. ED1 certainly could be 40%, meaning ED2 would be much lower. The RD acceptance rate is sub 10%.
