I hate you for telling me that. Hasn't changed yet!

I also hate whoever said that today was the next meeting. I've been jumpy all day today, just in case they got to my file.

Well I don't think it'll change today. Because they like to give the interviewers time to call you if they want to. Maybe like 2 days?

Fair enough 😛. Doesn't change the fact that I'm jumpy 🙁.

When I was accepted last month, the status page changed to "Congratulations" on a Saturday morning and then I got official notice on a Monday. It might be a few days? :shrug:

When I was there in Nov, the MD/PhD applicants were told that the next MD adcom meeting would be Dec 15, so the MSTP interviewees would hear a decision on Dec 18 after the MD and MD/PhD adcoms both met. If there was an MD adcom meeting today, the MD applicants will hopefully hear something soon too. :luck:

Trudat. I don't want to rank my medical schools or anything like that, but I was brought up in the Midwest and don't really care to leave. So....
 
I also await with bated breaths...

Good luck to us all! hope to hear in the next few days
 
So, since we know (or assume we know) the committee met yesterday, does anyone know when we should expect something? I really feel like calling to ask the status of my app...

Me too!

For people who were accepted in November, do you guys remember when your committee meeting was?

Anyone who interviewed Nov. 12th or later got their decision yet?

I think we're all from that group. I wonder if they are able to get to a month's worth of interviews in one day?

They specifically said at the MSTP interview that they don't get to ALL of the folks who have interviewed thus far in the MD meeting, but they do get to most of them. Some, including a few MSTP kids, might have to sit tight until the next one, even though they interviewed before it.

Pretty sure the meeting was on the 15th or today. We find out the 18th.
 
I interviewed in september and no news, im not expecting to hear anything this cycle.

I interviewed in September too. Haven't head back yet, but maybe we will on friday :xf:
 
Has anyone heard anything yet?

Maybe they re-scheduled the committee meeting or something...

Most folks didn't find out last time until the weekend or later following the meeting. The MSTP program was dead positive we would be finding out on the 18th; I doubt they would move the committee meeting date. Sounds like they give the interviewers a little bit of time to call you if they want. Guessing folks will be able to see it on their status page on Saturday.
 
About how long of a timeframe are we looking at for decisions post-interview?

Decisions and acceptances are made around the dates: 11/13, 12/18, 1/22, 2/12. Might be more dates in later Feb. and March.

Where is this information from? Would an early December interview be considered on 12/18 or later in January or February?

They told us at the interview. Sounds like you were probably covered during this meeting, but you are a little later so you might have been bumped to the next one.

AHHH, you just got me super excited for Saturday now. I fell in love with this school! 🙂

I applied MSTP so I know for sure that I will be contacted in some way tomorrow. I'm just panicking and completely on edge. I really loved it there--it was also my first interview, so maybe I was just naive and didn't quite know the questions to ask yet, and seeing an MSTP in action just made me certain that MD/PhD is EXACTLY what I want. But I really did feel at home and kept thinking, I want this I want this I want this.

sigh

Yes, Wash U is amazing, isn't it? 😍 Good luck!!! :luck:

Sounds like the admissions committee just met today, so your interviewers might call tomorrow; otherwise your status page will be updated on Saturday morning I think. 👍

do you remember what time they called? (I'm on the east coast) and did you get the impression that for mstp, no phone call = bad news?
Click to expand...

I never got a call. It's up to the interviewers to decide whether they call. Either way you'll get something in the mail soon, and your status page should be updated (granted this is all MD, not MSTP)
 
hmm that's weird, i didn't get a call from my interviewers but i did get a call from ed dodson (dean of admissions, i think). and i got the call on a monday, which was a few days after the first round of calls went out from individual interviewers (also, it was a few days after i found out from looking at my status page).

That's because you're more awesome than most. 😛 IIRC, I never got a phone call, but maybe I did and forgot? :shrug:

lol its more likely because they don't have a consistent policy for calling people 😀

For the MD admissions, I never got a phone call from my interviewer- just the status page update on a Sat. morning followed by a letter in some very important looking envelope (overnight urgent mail or something like that). For the MSTP, I got a phone call in the afternoon (central time). If I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure you'll get a phone call no matter what to tell you if you're accepted, rejected, or wait listed. The MSTP office seemed very nice about wanting to keep you in the loop. 🙂

(This all only applies to MSTP, from what I know🙂 I got the impression that if it was good news, there would be a phone call, but if it was bad news (reject/waitlist), there would be an email; at least, I remember Brian Sullivan mentioning email as a possible means of communication. Either way, 1:30 pm EST and no contact yet.

Has anyone applied to WashU's MSTP and been rejected or wailisted? How were you contacted?

I am pretty sure they call everyone, but not positive. Brian called me about an hour ago. They told us at the interview that you did not want to hear from him. I hear his voice and get immediately depressed.

But low and behold, my wrap up interviewer was out of town and they didn't want to wait until Monday for him to give me a call. ACCEPTED! 😀😀😀😀

Also, the MD/PhD forum has a lot more info for who, when, and how people have been accepted/rejected/WLed/etc. Check it out.

I am 10 minutes late to happy hour. First acceptance. To a top choice to top it off. Graduating tomorrow, just got an email a few minutes confirming I made it.

Life doesn't get much sweeter. Good luck for those waiting for this round. Check those status pages after Midnight Central, it should be up!
 
Also, FWIW, Mr. Sullivan said that they were waiting on the MD decision/approval for the MSTP applicants until today, so the meeting could have very well been this morning.
 
Does anyone know if they'll be posting results for MD applicants tomorrow as well, or just MSTP?

And congratulations orrghead16!

It's now officially Saturday, and no update for me (MD candidate). Maybe later today? I just don't get why the status would change on a Saturday; are they really coming into the office?
 
ACCEPTED!!! MD only. I was determined not to obsessively check my status page, so I just barely checked and have no idea when they updated my page. I interviewed in early October.
