Got an A call today around noon EST! Was not expecting it over the weekend haha

 

[sillychemistry]

Anyone who interviewed in feb hear back yet

 

[crazyfish123]

Got the A call on Friday, are scholarships released after the initial acceptance? Also, does anything need to be done for financial aid apart from the FAFSA?

 

[s-dark]

Hi, I had a missed call and a voicemail on Friday from admissions just saying the would call me back, but they have not yet. I'm hoping it was an acceptance call Has anyone who got the A on Friday received an email or portal update?

 

[smurf durf]

has anyone received a call but the portal has not updated yet/no email to confirm acceptance?

 

[squid_swim13]

just got the A call!!! interviewed early Feb.!

 

[bananacreampie]

I'm a November interviewee that hasn't heard anything since, worth sending a letter of interest this late? I haven't really had any updates or changes to my activities so that's why I haven't thus far (I figured sending nothing was better than sending fluff, and I didn't want to send a letter of intent since I am leaning towards another school for now).

Interviewed in Jan and wondering the same thing, except I am thinking about writing a letter of intent and don’t know if I should wait to be WLed first

Has anybody gotten in touch the Core and heard back? I wanna get started on securing a place for the fall. I've only emailed, not called

 

[premed2601]

For people who sent update letters or LOIs, did you email it to admission or upload it to the portal?

[cookooriku]

Has anyone other than December admits heard anything abt scholarship?

 

[wellwatcanwedonow]

[oatmilkplease]

Has anyone that is still waiting for decision submitted css profile to this school? Don't want to seem presumptuous unless this is something they'd maybe like to see

 

[I_like_Floors]

Has anyone that is still waiting for decision submitted css profile to this school? Don't want to seem presumptuous unless this is something they'd maybe like to see

If you haven't already filled out the CSS and don't have other schools you have been accepted to that require the CSS, then do not waste your time on it. If you have already filled it out or have been accepted to another school that requires it, then it cannot hurt to fill it out and send it to washu as well. That being said, it is $25/school so if it presents a financial hardship do not send it to schools you have not been accepted to OR you can ask the school to give you a waiver code for the CSS profile. Hope this helps! Filling out the CSS profile just sucks so unless you have to I wouldn't;t waste my time.

*Edit*: I also highly doubt the admissions department would place any weight on if you have completed the CSS profile already

Yeah it would be very very strange if they did

The CSS profile bears absolutely no weight on admissions. Also, WashU actually provides admitted students a fee waiver for the CSS!

For anyone accepted on March 4th, have you received the welcome email from the financial aids office with your log-in info?

I did. I had to submit some forms

 

[meercat13]

Did anyone get like a hand written note in the mail? Along with the “You Belong” stuff?

 

[Mr.Smile12]

Anyone knows what are the half-ride/full-ride merit scholarships based on? Are they only distributed to US-citizenship applicants or International too? Thanks

Thanks. Found the answer on the website:

• All accepted applicants, regardless of citizenship or state of residency, are considered for merit-based scholarships without additional applications"

Anyone not hear back about a decision from WashU at all?

Anyone not hear back about a decision from WashU at all?

I think their final wave is March 24?

 

[oatmilkplease]

I wonder what % of As have been given out...any educated guesses?

FB page is currently at 179 members, although at least some of them are current students. A decent fraction of people also probably haven't joined the FB

Do you know how many washu tends to admit?

Medical School Statistics – Admit.org has 344 last cycle, although some are presumably from the Waitlist

Hmm okay so my rough (and conservative, I think) guess is prob around 75% As have been given out

 

[menkar]

Is this the first interview date they will not include people who recently interviewed? Meaning has everyone in this decision date been passed over at least once?

I assume so. My guess is that this is the last wave of acceptances and not hearing means a WL/R on or before April 15th

 

[j_diggity]

I assume so. My guess is that this is the last wave of acceptances and not hearing means a WL/R on or before April 15th

So last year the late March wave was when everyone heard back A, R or WL, though I don’t know if the school had announced an April 15 date that year. Given the AMCAS deadline to narrow down to 3 schools is on April 15, I think they may try to let us know sooner than that. We’ll see. Fingers are crossed for everybody 🤞🏼

 

[j_diggity]

Oh wow. So no A’s last year?

Oh, no, there were A’s for sure in the March wave

 

[oatmilkplease]

Is this the first decision date they will not include people who recently interviewed? Meaning has everyone in this decision date been passed over at least once?

From what I saw it seemed like the previous waves included people who recently interviewed as well. As in, everybody seems to be considered at every wave

 

[oatmilkplease]

What I mean is were there any interviews held between the early March date (or shortly before it I guess) and the final one so that some of the A’s will be people only considered for the first time or is every A this time going to be for someone who has been passed over at least once (meaning they could have heard a decision on an earlier date and did not).

Oooo I see. I feel like its probably the latter but who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️
