Washington University in St. Louis
Good news, bad news. Good news: I am 95% positive I'll be attending Rice University for my undergraduate studies. Bad news: Washington University in St. Louis has apparently waitlisted me under regular decision, which means I'm their warm meat in a pan on the stove... the leftovers. My mom is having a fit because she can't understand how/why it happened. We had all been feeling extremely confident - especially after my interview. Well, here's the letter. Go Owls!

Dear Jason:
I am writing to inform you that the Admissions Committee has placed your name on the wait list for the freshman class entering next fall at Washington University. If you are interested in remaining on the wait list, please read the enclosed sheet and complete the enclosed card and return it to us as soon as possible, postmarked no later than May 1, 2005. If you prefer, you may submit your response on our Web site at admissionswaitlist.wustl.edu.
We recognize that deciding whether to remain on the wait list can be difficult. All of us on the Admissions Committee carefully considered the credentials you submitted, and while we are not able to offer you a place in the class at this time, we would very much like to work with you if there are openings in the class. We will determine this and be in touch with you no later than June 30.
If we determine there is a space available for you, someone from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions will call you. If you are interested in accepting the offer, we will immediately send you a letter of admission. Final wait list decisions, if any, will be made by June 30 and we will notify you on or before that date. We hope there will be financial assistance available for students admitted from the wait list. If you choose to enroll, you will be asked to complete the information requested in the admission materials and to withdraw from the institution to which you submitted your initial enrollment deposit.
This year our decisions were extraordinarily difficult. We had more than 21,000 applications for our freshman class of approximately 1,350. We hope that we will have spaces available after May 1. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to call any of us in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
My best wishes for a successful conclusion to your senior year.
Sincerely,
Nanette H. Tarbouni
Director of Admissions
