[quote=Anonymous]I am a Wash U alum and some of the information posted above is factually inaccurate. First of all, you don't have to be invited to apply ED. All schools with ED programs prefer ES applicants for two reasons: primarily because of the yield increase, as mentioned, but also because you and up with a campus of kids who REALLY want to be there. This just creates a happy, positive group of kids. Wash U cracked into the top 10 at #9 in fall 2003 (I know because it was my freshman year!) and this was a huge deal for the community. Since then it has hovered between 12-15, which is right around where it was before the 2003 aberration.

I had the best experience at Wash U. The dorms were amazing, the people were great, my professors were fantastic. I was encouraged to succeed and I always felt supported every step of the way. I actually graduated in only three years, and I did not enter with an unusual amount of AP credit. Everyone made it easy for me and helped me plan out how I could do it. I had great internships too, etc.

Overall I look back and those were the happiest years of my life! If I have one negative thing to say, it would be the financial aspect of the student population that a few people mentioned. It was definitely a given that we all had money. A bunch of my friends (myself included) worked part time jobs and no one looked down on us for that- but at the end of the day we all came from families with money, had our own cars, ate out all the time, and so on. Definitely not the real world, but I didn't realize that until I entered the real world![/quote]
