[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wash U was built with new money and has done a great job as THE Ivy League reject school for the NY/NJ area that choose schools based on USNWR.

There is a nice walkable area called the Loop by the campus. About a 5 min walk. Nice, but kind of a dump.

Very overrated. Think more in the Wake Forest / Tufts area.

Crazy yield protective. CRAZY.[/quote]

People like to talk about Ivy League “reject” schools as if it were derogatory. Given that HYP rejects more than 95% of applicants and the fact that many of the 5% or so who were actually accepted have hooks (legacy, athletic recruits, donors, child of VIPs, first-gen, URMs, etc), being an Ivy “reject” is actually a good thing. Also, keep in mind that that acceptances are a bit the luck of the draw. In short, all colleges outside the Ivy League would love to be considered Ivy “rejects” as it means that very strong students are applying to them. Not being an Ivy “reject” means that college is not even on the radar of strong students.
