Student's uninterested in working with diligence and dedication in their classes should not attend Washington University. The educational caliber at Washington University is very high, which means that courses are challenging, but also very worth the effort necessary to suceed. I think it is also important to attend Washington University with an open mindset. Without one, student will miss out on making friends from different backgrounds and taking advantage of rewarding leadership and volunteer activities outside of one's comfort zone.

People who are judge others for their actions, beliefs or ideas without first knowing the reasoning behind their actions shoudl not attend this university. Students who are hoping to party several times during the week and still make top grades should consider other schools. A person who beliefs they are too smart to go to class or routinely study the material being covered in their classes.

People doesn't like tense study atomosphere shouldn't come. And if you can not stand living far from posperous city, you definitely should not come.

Someone who does not want to be in an academically rigorous environment would not fit in at Wash U. Everyone here is very smart and works hard for what they have. That being said, it is not an academically competitive environment, so those who thrive on cuthroat competition should be aware that students here tend to help each other rather than try to compete to get to the top.

Someone should not attend this school if they are looking for a school where people party all of the time, although there are plenty of parties, you will find that nearly everybody also works very hard.

Wash U is one of the most intense, rigorous, and academically challenging schools in the country. But almost all of the students here love it that way. Furthermore, they truly want their peers to succeed - that's right, not competitive. There are study groups everywhere, whether formal or informal. Need help? Just ask somebody. We work hard, we play hard (everyone is involved in extracurriculars). It's the best type of life. If a person is competitive or is focused solely on academic work and is unconcerned with friends and extracurriculars, he or she might not enjoy WashU.
Michael
Someone who is looking to continue to coast by on natural talent should not consider Wash U. Washington University students work hard every day and every night to do as well as they do in classes and in the community. A Wash U student must be motivated to learn, to succeed, and to make a difference on campus and in the St. Louis neighborhood, while still enjoying himself or herself during his or her free time.
Elizabeth
First and foremost, if a student does not feel well-prepared for a demanding college curriculum and workload, Wash U is not the school for him or her. Secondly, Wash U would not be a good fit for a student who feels more comfortable in a familiar, safe environment where everyone has a similar background and similar experiences. Finally, a student who wishes to commute from home or spend as little time on campus as possible would not feel very comfortable at Wash U, especially as a freshman, when the majority of activities take place on campus.

The only sort of person who should not attend Washington University in St. Louis is someone who has a lazy work ethic. If they are not willing to dive into their life at the university one-hundred percent, then they do not belong here. Furthermore, someone who is not passionate should not attend because the university is full of opportunities for those passionate about their futures.
Michael
If someone is unmovitaved and unambitious they should not attend this school. Washington University in St. Louis is very grueling academically and unless you are motivated to do well it is difficult to do so.
