WashU is underrated in prestige on WSO
I've been seeing lots of tier lists on this site and I feel like everyone kind of disses WashU by putting them a lot lower than they deserve. WashU Olin (the business school) has a below 10% acceptance rate and WashU the overall school has the highest percentage of top 1% students. WashU also used to be ranked in the top 15 on usnews.
I think that WashU as a school overall and prestige wise, not just for finance, is on the same level as Duke / UChicago / Northwestern / Johns Hopkins. For finance, i admit that its a bit worse, but it should be on the same level as schools like NYU Stern and Georgetown. We have pipelines to GS and guggenheim and many other BBs and EBs.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
Low quality rage bait
After reaching a certain threshold, the school name doesn't really matter that much. WSO college kids drool over differentiating the tiers of schools like asking WashU vs NYU or Georgetown vs Duke. It really doesn't fucking matter from the recruiting stand point whether you go to WashU or JHU. If there are tons of alum on the street, then one will be more confident of getting an offer but ironically the competition will also be more fierce than going to a school with fewer numbers of alum since so many kids reach out.
"but it should be on the same level as schools like NYU Stern and Georgetown"
being completely unbiased clearly, I completely agree. Washu is a great school with every opportunity there if you're willing to put in some effort especially with small classes and good pipelines.
washu is a good school, no says otherwise. Not NU/Duke but its a high semi-target and probably a target for chicago. The oppurtunity is there. If diversity, you'll probably end up at top bb/eb.
Washu has a 12% acceptance rate lil bro
eh, olin is about 9-10. RD is like 3 since washu just fills classes ed.
Stop the cap. Washu Olin is 25%+ ED based off of a google search and 9-10% RD. The other schools that he said washu was comparable to (duke uchicago northwestern hopkins) are all 2-4% acceptance rates in RD with a much more competitive applicant pool.
This is beyond delusional. It's a semi lower than both Emory and Vandy other semis.
As another Emory kid, stop lying. Emory and Washu are the exact same in terms of recruiting. High semi-target for nyc and Washu is a target for Chicago so it’s might just edge out Emory there and don’t mention anything another ATL lol., let’s get a life now.
Guess what? Now due to this thread, I believe it’s overrated.
Just sell homes man. Pull up to the tour
Given your stale response, OP, I now see why WashU is a former top 15 US News college!
Agreed
