A school with a name recognition problem. Very well-regarded in the Midwest, not well-known on the coasts. You’ll get a great education here, although it has a reputation of being a “rich kid school”. Half pre-meds, very intense academics, D3 sports. However, students tend to get good jobs or go to even better grad schools. Even if you’re not from St. Louis (and most people are not), you can have a good time. A decent number of people stay in St. Louis after graduation. Beautiful campus and everyone’s friendly.
WashU is a rising star.
