[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS just got off the waitlist at WashU, and has 2 days to decide. He was previously committed to BU. He's surprised he got off. GPA: 3.6/SAT: 1510, typical ECs.[/quote] Is it some elite private with grade deflation? Thanks.[/quote] Assuming he submitted the 1510?[/quote] Didn’t WashU tell people not to submit anything below 1500? So 1510 is on the low end of reported scores. It’s also low for a grade deflated elite private.[/quote] Maybe 1500 is sort of a cut-off and they made the cut-off and it was everything else? This kid must have qualified or else they would have been rejected and not WL'd. I've heard from multiple AOs that acceptance from WL is all about demographics and majors and special cases (i.e. full pay, legacy), but never heard anyone say that gpa or scores help a kid get off the WL. [/quote] The elephant in the room is WashU is getting desperate. [/quote]
