Neuronix said:The same thing happened to me. Don't worry about it too much... The hardest part of an early WashU rejection is listening to everyone else talk about how pampered they were there!
AndyMilonakis said:Same thing happened to me 7 years ago as well. I interviewed early and all 6 of us who interviewed there on that day got rejected. I know that one group that interviewed there later in the application process all got accepted. Maybe WashU doesn't like to hand out many acceptances early in the game (that basically shrinks down the number of people they accept later in the game). Just a thought.

I think they also took a lot of people from the interview session before ours, which may have screwed our session a bit.
tedrik said:uproarhz, i can't believe that duke didn't give you an interview ! Everyone who fills out that ridiculously long secondary should automatically be given an interview.
uproarhz said:I know... but I should've expected it. They are one of those schools that really really like you to put them as a priority and fill out the secondary as quickly as possibly (like withing two weeks). Well, I didn't. I think it was 7 or 8 weeks until I got it all finished! So 5 days after I submitted my application they rejected me. I really don't think they even took a look at my app. They obviously weren't a top choice for me, and I guess that showed.
But I gotta say, with their application being one of the longest and worst I have filled (I think only Stanford was longer) they should give us a little more time. Oh well...
Thanks for the support though, tedrik!

AndyMilonakis said:Your secondary to Duke couldn't have been as bad as mine was when I applied. Back then I used my Yale application essay as my Duke essay. But I forgot to replace the word "Yale" with "Duke" in the last paragraph. Duke gave me the axe!
You've gotten interviews at solid places. I'm sure you'll end up somewhere good.
Neuronix said:You got further than me I didn't even get an interview... I think my pre-interview rejections had something to do with me going to a no-name state school, but I'll never know.
AndyMilonakis said:That's the thing. I didn't get an interview. I got the pre-interview axe.
