[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know several kids who chose WashU over Columbia or Chicago.  It's more common than you think[/quote]

I know many more who chose the latter... oh wait they didn’t even bother applying to WashU.[/quote]

Delusional  :lol: [/quote]

Why can’t both be true? UMC kids who went to private schools want different college experiences. If you prefer a more homogeneous suburban vibe, want to be able to buy your way into a more luxe living situation, hope to meet a mate, and/or are tired of academic bootcamp experiences, you’d be a fool to choose Chicago or Columbia over Wash U. If you love big cities and thrive/want to prove yourself by upping the level of academic challenge you face, you’d be better off with Columbia or Chicago.  Clearly, both kinds of kids/families exist.  And kids from both places who came in already UMC will mostly end up UMC post-college.[/quote]

The amount of FA at WashU would have to be significantly higher for this to work. A donut hole family at ivies with a significant merit award/scholarship at WashU might find WashU attractive. [/quote]
