I want to say that I am also hoping for a big A wave, until the A wave happens and doesn't include me Definitely agree that it's been quiet.

Lmao I feel this in my bones

 

[greenbananas359]

Does anyone know if the committee meets every Thursday in March?

 

[justagirl213]

any Feb 10 or later interviewees heard back?

 

[justagirl213]

@justagirl213 : i think someone from early feb heard back on this thread, don't know the exact interview date though

they were feb 5th I believe. I'm hoping most A's, if not all, go out this week.

Got the A call earlier today , interviewed in Nov

 

[kebab528]

Can someone please tell me what technical challenges you had during the interview using Kira Talent? Did you simply use their chat bot to tell them what is wrong? How was the technical issue fixed?

I think I had an issue in the set-up page when I had adblock on, otherwise no issues on my end

Was it 83% complete before the interview? Also any delays in connecting to the session?

Holy smokes you got the call on a Monday?! Calls aren't exclusive to Thursday-Sunday?!

 

[justagirl213]

Anybody get calls on Tuesdays or can I shut my phone off lol

 

[Lifeblood_20]

OMG I got a call



...from Progressive.

Just now?! Congratulations! When did you interview?

I never interviewed for Progressive but they are interested in insuring my car.
Oh, and I interviewed at WashU early in the season I guess. Not much mutual interest from that.

You just played me so hard thank you for the laugh

Do you recommend sending a letter of intent to Progressive by mail or electronically? Thinking of rescinding my offer from Geico

 

[chembio45654222]

This wait is really tough. I feel a lot of us probably got into other schools but are still thinking WashU is maybe a possibility. Like on dating apps I have to say "well, I'm probably staying here for med school, but I might also randomly move to St. Louis."

 

[Coffee&EM]

Does anyone know when the scholarship committee meets/ if more scholarships were sent after the last A wave?

 

[TB12-Goat]

Another Thursday has arrived, best of luck to everyone

I should know better than to question the GOAT, but you think people will hear back today? I saw a few A’s reported last week and seems like they’re meeting every 2 weeks just based on SDN updates.

Fingers crossed I’m wrong, or they’re meeting more often now that it’s March! The wait has been painful for sure and hope more of us receive good news soon

It sort of seemed like the scholarship committee and admissions committee alternate weeks. As interviews have concluded, I would expect decisions to ramp up... Do we expect A's to trickle in through the end of the month and the rest us to be hit by WL/R around 4/1?

 

[justagirl213]

Based on last year, I think all A's were given out by 3/16, and then WL/Rs hit in mid april

 

[iia]

Why would they take so long to dish out WL/R if all As are decided by Mar 16?

Lol, beats me. Just hoping a bunch of calls go out today through monday.

 

[TheDirtiestDiaper]

 

[Orims]

Anyone know if more merit scholarships have been offered?

 

[justagirl213]

Any calls today?

 

[penguinspenguins]

Got a call from WashU. It was their donation center asking me for money

 

[Odd_Korean]

You don't know how many times I had a mini heart attack from those. Now I'm worried that I will instinctively mute a potential actual A.

But what does it mean if I am not getting those calls?? Is there still hope??? 😭
(jk I'm assuming you guys are alumni or something)

Haha yeah I am an alum and I'm guessing @penguins2727 is as well. I know you're joking but also I know if people here are as neurotic as I am, I know confirming it will make you feel better 😂

 

[musiqian]

so are the initial round of A's done?

Even though I’ve pretty much resigned myself to the waitlist fate or worse, I’m pretty sure a good number of A’s have yet to go out (maybe 50-100ish?) based on past comments in this thread!

 

[TB12-Goat]

so are the initial round of A's done?

Haha I’ve given up on understanding the timeline at this school, but I’d love to know if someone else has more information.

 

[TheDirtiestDiaper]

Can we get an update on the number of people in the Facebook group?

222. Tho I got in last week and my join request still hasn’t been approved for days

Thanks very much!

 

[justagirl213]

Congrats!! When did you interview? Any later Feb interviewees hear back yet?

 

[xjawz]

222. Tho I got in last week and my join request still hasn’t been approved for days

I thought the first-year class was 101

 

[roosebolton99]

222. Tho I got in last week and my join request still hasn’t been approved for days

There were about 258 in the group last year a week or two before the big wave WLs and some As last year on March 17th. So maybe there’s like 40 As left to go? This is pure conjecture though lol

 

[roosebolton99]

I thought the first-year class was 101

Apparently half the group was current students, according to someone in last year’s thread.

 

[Lemonlime98]

I interviewed early December !

 

[justagirl213]

so by what day will we definitely know either way

Looks like March 15 or 16 this year, idk why they said April 15 tho...?

 

[WindmillChaser92]

222. Tho I got in last week and my join request still hasn’t been approved for days

same. when are they going to let us in? Still can't log onto the financial add page either.

 

[daffodil017]

They have to release a minimum of 100 As (the class size) by March 15 according to the AAMC guidelines. However, the number of actually accepted applicants will certainly exceed this number.

Last year, the large batch of As was distributed in March 16 because the 15th was a Sunday. For AAMC purposes, if a deadline falls on a weekend, it is observed on the next business day. I believe this March 15th deadline for a minimum number of As has been ongoing for a long time.

WashU likely won’t finalize all decisions until April 15, the date they provided us

(or at least I’m assuming)

 

[lacrossegirl420]

no calls today or yesterday?

 

[justagirl213]

Sounds about right. Maybe the committee is meeting every other week?

 

[lacrossegirl420]

any news?
