Do you accept the Universal College Application?
If you prefer, you may apply to Washington University using the Universal College Application in place of the Common Application. We have no preference. In either case, we encourage you to submit the Pre-Application Data Sheet/Supplement (which does not require a separate essay) as soon as possible. You should submit either the Universal College Application or the Common Application, but not both.

Why does Washington University ask for my e-mail address on the Pre-Application Data Sheet/Supplement?
If you would like to receive updates via e-mail and have access to your application status on our Web site, you’ll need to provide a valid e-mail address in item #3 and check “yes” in item #28 on the Pre-Application Data Sheet/Supplement. Our Web site is the best source of up-to-date information regarding the status of your application to Washington University; please check it regularly. Please add us to your address book so incoming e-mail is not redirected to your “junk” or “bulk” folder.
