Hey everyone! I'm considering applying to WashU for Early Decision, but I'm not exactly sure about what their acceptance rate is for ED. Does anyone know how much it differs from their normal acceptance rate, if at all?
Hello! For the class of 2027, Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) had an ED acceptance rate of 26%. This is a significant boost compared to the regular decision acceptance rate of 9%.
While it can improve your chances to apply ED, it's essential to make sure that you are fully committed to attending WashU if you are accepted through ED, as it is a binding agreement. Additionally, consider the financial implications, as the need-based aid package you receive may not be as favorable as at other schools with non-binding admissions programs like Early Action or Regular Decision.
