[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this true? My dd applied despite hearing this. When we visited she felt like the students looked miserable, which surprised me because I have heard of happy students there. She was thinking of switching her app to ED2 but now has second thoughts.[/quote]

Not at all true, it is as much or more fun/less stress than most T15/ivy types. It was ranked in the top 15 quite recently and belongs in the same grouping and is close enough to an ivy peerwise. None of the private T20ish are tons and tons of "fun" if you mean crazy drinking all the time and can easily go out 3 nights a week and study only a few hours on sunday and still make Bs. These schools are filled with high achieving students. WashU is no more grindy than any other school and is less grindy than MIT, CMU and a couple others. Students have a reasonable amount of fun yet also study hard and care about school, and are involved on campus. However only your student will be able to assess whether it is a good fit for them.
