interviewed sept 27. havent heard. 🙁 does this mean im waitlisted? will they tell me if im waitlisted?

No it doesn't. They continually review all the interviewees throughout the year. You could definitely hear some good news in December.

Hey...so I just interviewed a couple weeks ago, but the more I think about it the more I feel like WashU is my top choice and I'd matriculate there if accepted. Is it too early in the game to send a letter of interest?

WashU loves people that love them. So let them know for sure.
 
is anyone staying in Olin tonight? would be great to meet some fellow sdners
 
Not in Olin but I'll be at the pizza party thing tonight.
 
Hey everyone, congrats on all the acceptances and good luck to those waiting. I was wondering if anyone knows if Wash U accepts letters of interest/update prior to being offered an interview? I was complete in early August and haven't heard anything, so was thinking of sending a letter as sort of a last ditch effort since I feel like it's starting to get late. Dunno if it'll help, but thought I'd see if anyone had tried previously and if they said they don't accept them. Thanks!

I sent an update letter earlier this month. Don't know if it's helping or not, but WashU definitely accepts them. I got an email saying that the info had been added to my file. Aaaah, I hope we both get interview invites! :xf:

Thanks for the info ImmortaliaX, I hope we both hear some good news soon too 🙂 good luck!
 
Where on the secondary page can I find out who I'm interviewing with?
 
Does anyone know if there's an accepted students facebook group?
 
Interview invite yesterday for 12/10 (I live in the area). I was complete in August, so don't give up hope yet!

Congrats! There's always some hope left in every school lol


btw... I love Archer. It has the most brilliant writers on TV. Can't wait for season 2!!!!
 
Hey everyone!

Totally awesome school!

Interviewed Dec 3 and loved it.

Wondering when the next committee meeting (and therefore possibility of hearing something are) (and the one after that wouldnt hurt, if you are just bubbling over with knowledge)!

Was super nervous during my interview but said a lot of good stuff too.

Fingers crossed!

If you login to WUMSApply, it'll say something like "Congratulations on your acceptance. Please send us monies to hold your spot."



Next Friday.

Fingers totally, totally crossed.

Was nervous during my interview but loved the school. Such a supportive atmosphere.

If one does not hear something on the 17th (and interviewed on the 3rd) how poorly does that bode for one's chances?

Thanks again for all your help!

Doesn't bode poorly at all. I'm not sure they'll even be reviewing your interview date at this meeting, but I don't know for sure. They have a lot of applicants to go through. And WashU re-evaluates people throughout the year, so if you don't get in now, you could get in the next round of acceptances.
 
For those that have interviewed: When they say Olin provides bed linens, does that include a blanket, etc. or should we bring our own sleeping bag? Thanks!

Blanket and pillow are included. I think the only thing you really need is a bath towel.

Good luck on your interview. 🙂
 
Where did you guys send thank you notes/letters of intent to?

I can't find contact info for my interviewer. Should i just send the thank you to the admissions office?

And I definitely want to send a letter of intent as WashU is my top choice at the moment. Should I just send an email to [email protected]?

Thanks
 
you should be fine sending the LoI to that email address, i would search your interviewer's name on google. you should be able to at least obtain a clinical address to send a handwritten thank you letter
 
Just interviewed yesterday and loved it! I loved Wash U! What an institution. I thought the students would be super awkward and standoffish, but they were all sooo nice, like every single one. So, who knows about when the committee meets if I just interviewed? I heard it would be this Friday, but I'm sure that's too early for me. . . If I get in here, I'd be crazy not to go!

Did you go to the pizza party on Monday night?
 
Invite today for end of January: only two dates available to me?
Complete in November
 
I think a while ago, someone posted upthread that people getting accepted will see a status page change tonight at midnight and in addition, some of them will get calls from their interviewers tomorrow. Would be nice if someone else confirmed it though.
 
I think the status change happens Friday nights? Could be wrong... they were very ambiguous about the whole acceptance notification thing on interview day.

For the last batch of acceptances, the status change occurred 1AM EST (midnight central time) on Saturday, not Friday. Not sure if it'll be the same for you guys, but I wouldn't worry too much if you don't see anything tonight. 🙂

See, that's the thing. I always get confused when people say Friday midnight. Which day are we talking about? Midnight tonight (i.e. right after 11:59 Thursday) or midnight tomorrow (i.e. right after 11:59 Friday). To mind it's always the former. (This causes confusion when I buy tickets for midnight shows too)

This is when it should happen. :xf:

I read somewhere that another batch of acceptances is supposed to come out tomorrow. Can anyone confirm this?

I cannot confirm this but if this year is anything like the past two years then I would expect that they will. :xf:

KickedOut said:
From last year's thread it looks like acceptances went out on the days that the MTSP board sent out acceptances (I'm guessing so the two boards can chat). This year the MTSP board sends out acceptances on November 19, December 17, January 14 & 28, and February 11.

From reading last year's thread it looks like your WUMSApply will reflect your acceptance after midnight on the days listed above (I guess there is some system update that occurs at midnight on Fridays). Additionally, some interviewers called last year to spread the good news.

Good luck!

Does anyone know if everyone is on the same page once they reach the interview level?

My stats are well below Washu's avg. and I am wondering how much the interview factors into their final decision.

I appreciate guys! Good luck!
 
i heard the 17th. which makes it tonight after midnight for what that's worth. 😕:xf:

I think the committee might've met today, but the actual status update happens @ 1AM on Sat. You might get a phone call in b/t now & then. (I think?)
 
i got the acceptance call last night 🙂 🙂 🙂. still no status update though.
