Johnson Scholarship Finalist

I was chosen as a finalist for the Johnson scholarship. Does this mean I have a decent chance of getting into the school? I applied as a regular decision applicant.

ED2 was brutal, competition was very hard. You guys think regular will be the same?

How rigorous is the Math Program?

ED1 Accepted International Student here.

Looking to major in Math and Economics. Was wondering how rigorous the Maths major is. Also, how's the CS Department?

I believe Economics Department is quite good.

CSS waiver

Hi guys, so I applied to wlu for ed2 and request a fee waiver for css but got rejected. I'm seeing everywhere that if the css gets rejected, the application is basically rejected too. I've seen people recommending that those who applied ed2 and got their css waiver rejected, defer their application to rd instead as that would be better. I am thinking of it and I am going to ask my counselor to defer it to rd instead but I want your opinion on it. What do you guys think? Is it worth it or should my application just stay as ed2?

Everyone's Paying for CSS??

So Wash Lee provided CSS waivers to majority of the ED1 applicants . But it did not provide the waivers to ED2 applicants. This is because of only one reason wash lee never would have expected to recieve this huge amount of applicants after they have declared as Need Blind.

CSS fee waivers

Does really the CSS fee waiver process is like an initial review for the admission process and if I got rejected from the fee waiver I should defer my application to the rd?

Can anyone who got accepted in the ED1 tell us if it is critical or should I change the application plan?

So how exactly do financial aid people (especially international ones) pay for fraternities?

If the short answer is "they don't," then my follow-up is: how painful is this segregation for students who don't join?

For context: I'm an int'l student from Eastern Europe, hoping to get a full-tuition at W&L. I'm a super social person and really want to find a community, network, and enjoy all the classic perks of college life. But I'm definitely not ready to drop 10 grand a year for that. How big of a deal is this?

I mean, I can’t be the only one in this situation: W&L is need-blind for int'ls and overall pretty generous with aid. So how do all these folks fit into the university’s social scene without Greek life?

p.s. also, how diverse are fraternities at W&L? I respect solid parties, traditions, and hardcore challenges, yet I’m not exactly eager to drink myself unconscious every week.

How possible is a career in quantitative finance from Washington and Lee University?

I have heard that top firms in Wall Street like Citadel, Jane Street only hire from Ivies. How is the reputation of W&L in such fields.

Also, how is the entrepreneur culture at W&L? Like any successful alumni who made it big from startups, businesses etc?

PS: I am an ED1 Admitted Student and I've already enrolled. I am more inclined towards business/entrepreneurship/finance stuffs. The website has very little information on student's outcomes in these fields.

Deffered to RD

Hello, I applied to W&L as an international for the ED round bur got deffered to RD. Do I still have a chance of getting accepted or is it over? I have submitted an increased December SAT score from 1500 to 1530 (770 rw and 760 maths). Is there anything else I can do to boost my chances?

Video supplement. Do I have to record the video from the portal or I can make 2 min video then just upload?

Hi. So I have applied RD and I am thinking about submitting the video supplemental. I want to know if I have to record it in the portal meaning I could only stay at my room and narrate the story. Or if there is option to upload pre recorded video then I will tell the story with lot of cuts kinda like the Brown supplement one. Thanks

IELTS Requirement for W&L

Is an overall band 7 in ielts [L:8, R:6.5, W:7, S:6] going to affect my application if I applied with it? as the recommended requirement is 7.5 on the website. However, I got the option to apply with an English Proficiency waiver as the main language of instruction in my school is English.

W&L for ed2 as an international?

Hey, I am an international student who was deferred from reed for ed1 solely for my need (they said that they would've accepted me if I could pay some and their acceptance rate for internationals is less than 5%) I was thinking of applying to w&l ed2 and I've wrapped up my application as well. I got on reddit right before I was gonna send my application and saw people mentioning that the acceptance rate for internationals is 3% at w&l. Can someone confirm that please? Bc if it is, I would rather apply somewhere else with slightly higher acceptance rate for internationals. Thank youuu
