[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, I will reiterate that Wash U reaches out to students it has no intent of admitting, encouraging them to apply, just so it can appear to be more selective.  Other schools with which it would like to be compared simply don't do this.  The kids see through this and most parents know exactly what they are trying to do.  [/quote]

So, I guess this means that your kid got rejected from Wash U?

That is how your repeated posts make it appear.

It doesn't give the impression at all that there is anything wrong or dubious about Wash U's admission process.  It just makes it seem like you have sour grapes.[/quote]

I'm one of the PPs and my DC was never interested in Wash U.  It was a good friend of mine who visited with her child who was given the "free preliminary application."  They decided not to apply.[/quote]

So you are basing your posts on a "friend" who travelled across the country to visit and tour the school and Wash U actually, gasp, gave this child an application? The nerve! So very underhanded of them to give an application to a child who took the time and money to fly across the country to tour the school!

Really? That is the entire basis for your argument?  I don't see how your story is relevant here, given the details you shared.[/quote]
