ED to WashU is easier than Emory

They are literally within percentage points of one another for ED1.

WashU is still higher, it also has a higher overall acceptance rate as well meaning its the easier school to get into regardless of whether it's ED or RD. Ther also have the same test avg now.

Ok Emory mom, in any case, both Emory and Wash U have acceptance rates over 30 percent for ED1, which is double or triple the early acceptance rate of other T25s, making them the easiest admits.

Acceptance rate isn't the only thing that determines selectivity, also who said they were applying ED? Both have lower RD rates than Notre Dame and Georgetown. Also higher test scores.

Exactly, if you look at more than just acceptance rate, but also GPA, Test scores, ECs. The answer is Umich or UVA, and Notre Dame for privates. Emory admissions always seemed more unpredictable than it's peers, and WashU wants the highest test scores possible.

Emory and Wash U are the easiest, regularly take unhooked kids outside the top twenty percent of the class at our private early decision, which is the easiest time to get into nearly all colleges and why people are focused on ED rates in this thread.

Adding apologies to Emory mom, who just can’t seem to accept this truth.

WashU takes almost exclusively TO ED candidates from our private….

Everything is soooo high school specific.

Depends on your specific high school!!

It definitely does not. Two schools, Emory and Wash U, have ED1 acceptance rates double or TRIPLE OR MORE other schools in the T25.

WashU requires HIGHER stats from our private than a half dozen schools ranked higher. It doesn't matter what WashU's national acceptance rate it, it matters which students it takes FROM YOUR SCHOOL.

They routinely require a 3.95. Duke will take kids in the 3.8s. Cornell will go down to 3.7. FROM OUR HIGH SCHOOL. Your school is probably different. Every school is different.

Clearly your kid goes to Wash U. Sorry this is upsetting for you.

I think there are two issues at play:

1. What T25 school accepts kids with the lowest stats during ED vs. RD
2. What T25 school accepts nearly everyone ED that has stats at X or above

Perhaps, WashU is statistically harder in Example 1 if you have a 3.8 vs. Duke.

However, WashU may be statistically much easier in Example #2 if you have a 3.95 vs. Duke

Your private sounds not very gcompetitive because Wash U regularly takes kids not in top 20 recent of class from our private if they apply ED1.

Why is everyone picking on WashU and Emory??

I feel like their "stock" is rising - less nerdy and grinder than other T25, especially if you are not business, CS or premed?

This actually is likely demonstrable false. Wash U takes 35 percent of kids ED1 and Duke takes 11 or 12 percent. There is no way Wash U has a more competitive applicant pool than Duke. You are likely looking at stats that include hooked kids at one school but not the other, and it sounds like your high school doesn’t do well placing kids at top school or you are fibbing.

No one is picking on them, they just have unusually high ED1 acceptance rates compared to peer schools.

You are being incredibly dense.
Have you seen the 4 year SCOIR data from our school? No. I am telling you, WashU has required a higher GPA for each of the past 4 years than Duke or Cornell have. This is among unhooked applicants as the hooked are removed from Scoir. I don't care what the national admission rates are.

NP.
Our CCO office told us to ignore national admission rates btw. So T25 universities just don't like our kids and some T25 LOVE them. So look at your school's data strategically.
