[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]

It’s not unpopular at our private but not a hot school either.  Two to three kids attend each year.  More popular than both Rice and Emory, which are what I consider its peer schools.[/quote]
WashU is a school that's supposed to have general appeal, but it doesn't. Rice is tiny, so it should, in theory, have fewer apps. Emory is ranked (a little) lower, but WashU still can't keep up. The location, the incongruent name, and the lack of a good business school hurt it in the end. [/quote]

I don’t know how many apps Rice has, but no more than one kid a year wants to go there from our school.  Emory maybe one kid every other year. WashU a few kids every year.  Just my experience with two kids at a highly regarded east coast private, none of my kids at any of the three.

Thats just one school.  Emory has a higher percentage of private school students than WashU. [/quote]
