Yes, in at WashU. The money won’t work, though.

Too bad. Excellent school.

How did what they offer compare with what the estimator tool predicted?

Daughter got into GT. No aid though, so she is declining it.

It was a reach for her, but it was a morale poster as she was rejected from UMD which really bothered her as her scores were far above the 75% mean. But she isn’t a URM which counts there, but not GT.

If she goes abroad while at GT, you pay instate tuition.

Got a loan, that’s it. Was hoping for merit scholarship.

DC has other options including a school that gave them $32k/ year.

Moving on.

GT= Georgia Tech

URM = the boogeyman, the creature white parents scare their children with in bedtime stories to get them to work harder in school and then later blame for all their college rejections.

1440 would be very low.

Demonstrated interest matters at WashU.

Back to add, 34 is better than 1440 and might do the job, depending on GPA and other factors.

WashU was especially competitive this year - they had a 14% acceptance rate.

His counselor said that his ACT would probably end up being what he used, so maybe you are right about that. Not sure but we are visiting this summer.

Make a side trip to Ted Drewes for frozen custard, Missouri Baker for Italian bread, sandwiches and pastries, and try to take in a Cardinals game for a taste of the real city. The area around Wash U is fun and lively.

Also go downtown to see the City Museum. It is unlike anything you will see anywhere else!
