[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vandy, Emory,  Rice, and now Notre Dame have passed WashU in app numbers. 
Vandy- 48k
Emory- 43K
Rice- 39k
ND- 36k
WashU- 32k

The only peer school with less apps is Georgetown which will move to the common app and likely pass WashU at minimum.[/quote]
Is Washu declining in relative popularity to peers? Its was neck and neck with Vandy at my private. [/quote]
[i]It's popular among Jewish families and premed kids.  At our school, Vandy is more for hooked applicants, WashU is attainable for unhooked applicants.[/i] [/quote]

Those that want Vandy are more the Wake Forest preppy, bro/bra than WashU, more nerdy, quirky, serious[/quote]

This is for sure true at our private.
WashU (totally fine area imo) with a lovely campus and beautiful housing/food and HUGE endowment, doesn't get the love it should. Can't compare to ND or Vanderbilt because of Div 1 sports, which is a huge draw. 
More like Rice, Emory, and CMU.
Maybe this is an attempt for WashU to try and climb out of that tier to compete against JHU?[/quote]
JHU? It cant even compete with its current tier. [/quote]
