Do applicants from certain schools have an advantage?
No. Washington University’s MSTP has drawn students from over 120 undergraduate institutions: from Agnes Scott to Yale, Stanford to South Dakota State, and everything in between. What matters is individual’s potential to go places in the future, not where they were in the past. Individuals from schools that are less research-intensive often engage in summer research experiences at other institutions or do post-baccalaureate research to strengthen their research credentials.
