Anyone interviewing on Feb. 15th? I'm getting in around 2:00. Feel like killing time until the pizza dinner?

Got my II about a week ago, still trying to sort out the logistics of it all. Also, all the spots are gone, so I'm told to call someone in the department. 😀 Sigh.

Candav - are you a fellow Canadian? Mind if I ask why you withdrew?

I still don't think I fully understand their financial aid situation. I know as a foreigner I'm not eligible for loans, or need-based support, but are we still considered for merit scholarships?

I am Canadian as well and yes we are considered for WashU's many merit scholarships, as chronicidal has pointed out. Never lose hope 🙂 (at least not with your MCAT).

CANADA ROCKSSS! Fellow Canadian here. Filius I have bee following you around on SDN for a while. Trust me you are more than fine! I know one Canadian from UWO who got accepted mid March (interviewed late February).

So yeah guys, there are still people who get accepted in March

Now, back to anxiously waiting for acceptances

Yes! Me! Not sure when I'm getting in, yet, though. Keep in touch, as the day draws near?

Yay for Canada, and potential money! Warms the cockles of my heart. Also, MedHopeful -- should I be concerned? :laugh: Where are you guys from, and are you applying to UofA/UofC this round? (Though I suppose this would be a little off topic in a WashU thread.)
 
No man I am not applying to alberta or calgary because of a couple reasons. I follow you because you interviewed at both WashU and Yale and so did I. Maybe we will be classmates next year 🙂 And I am from Ontario.

Yes, I'm Canadian. I withdrew mainly because I've already been accepted to another school I'd choose other WashU. Also, I did all my other interviews earlier in the season, so by now I'm all interview-ed out.

International students at WashU are not eligible for financial aid, and must pay all four years' costs in escrow prior to matriculation. I believe the escrow amount comes to a bit over $250,000. Of course, they have a few great merit scholarships here which international students are eligible for; but my MCAT is about half yours, and I didn't think I had much chance of scoring one.

Good luck!

Isn't that the same with Johns Hopkins, which i would assume would be your top choice based on your profile? (Congrats by the way!)
I also don't think JHU gives out any merit based scholarships...
I am also international.
Has anyone accepted heard about the scholarship application process yet?

Hey, sorry if it wasn't clear -- I was originally responding to Filius' question regarding financial arrangements at WashU for internationals. I didn't withdraw from WashU because of the financial situation; I withdrew because I preferred Hopkins and didn't see a point to interviewing here.

So glad to see Canadians/internationals doing well this cycle! It warms the shrivelled little cavity where my heart should be.

I see! Thanks Candav!
 
Rejection letter today. Good luck everyone who's still in it!
 
I may be wrong, but my understanding is that few if any get rejected post-interview (long wait-list instead) before March 15th. Has anybody even been waitlisted yet? If not, then WashU has a similar system to Vandy.

Yep, the only people getting rejected now are pre-interview. Around mid-April everyone will get notified - some will be rejected, some will be accepted, and most will be waitlisted. Lots of waitlist movement there after.

I think the next date in 2/24.

Oh man, fingers crossed. For those of us who interviewed before February, is it safe to assume if we don't hear back on this date that we're essentially waitlisted?
 
maybe I'm wrong, but in one of the previous posts with all the MSTP decision dates listed, I thought feb 11 was a decision date. Don't MD decisions come out then too?
 
Yeah that's what I thought too. Either way I am staying up till 12:00am St. Louis time this Friday to check.


Now, for the fourth time,

DEAR GODS OF WASHU ADCOM PLEASE ACCEPT ME AND ALL THE OTHER WASHU HOPEFULS ON THIS FORUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀
 
So admissions tonight? Also, again if I interviewed in early Jan would tonight be too early?
 
no decisions were made yesterday, right? i guess we have to wait for 2 more weeks...
 
So I've just been catching up on this thread and I am a little confused about merit aid here.

In looking at past years, posts seemed to indicate that some accepted students were sent a merit scholarship application that was due in late February or March.

But I think I remember someone here saying that now you would receive an email and you write a paragraph about why you would like a scholarship?

Does anyone know for sure how it works (or has anyone received or been invited to apply for merit aid yet?)

Yay WashU!

At my interview day, I believe we were told everyone is automatically going to be considered for merit aid this year (because everyone fills out the merit application anyways).

correct me if I am wrong

On my interview day, we were told that everyone is automatically considered for merit scholarships that would be sent out in April (I am pretty sure of this because I interviewed with the dean of financial aid and was very interested in merit scholarships since I am international).

HOWEVER:

1) There is a "graduate student full tuition award" that women can apply for. Unfortunately, it looks like the application process is already over for those applying from our cycle (app was due Jan 25th, and only those who are "applying for a degree program in which they are not currently enrolled" can apply).

Check it out at:

2) This year, WashU miraculously sent out some merit scholarship decisions super early - I got mine before Christmas. Very strange.

Ugh, totally missed the Olin due date. They should have advertised that it was going to be due so early. . . 🙁
 
So last acceptance notice this Friday? this is not conducive to good sleeping patterns...👎
 
I would imagine not... I just interviewed last week. Did they say they would have it all done by the end of February?
 
Yeah not for people who interviewed in February I think for obvious reasons (i.e you interviewed too close to the next release date). However, I am pretty sure that this is the last date for all earlier interviewees.

I hope you enjoyed WashU. 🙂
 
So all the documents up for Finaid right now are the correct ones, right? I was a little confused since they said all the updated documents would be up 2/13. . . then changed the date on the site to 2/20 this week. 😕
 
If I haven't heard back from them by now, is it safe to say that I'm rejected pre-interview? Do they do silent rejections?

Unfortunately, the last of the interviews was earlier this week. They haven't generally done silent rejections in the past, so I would have thought you'd have heard something, but yeah. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news here. 🙁

Seems like it. Everything says 2012-2013, so I think it's right,.
 
You too man! Best of luck everyone and let's hope that the WashU adcom would accept all of us still waiting tonight!!! 🙂

So after this notice waitlist starts? So if I don't get a reply back tonight, it is pretty much an autonomatic waitlist/rejection?
 
my school finally sent in the dean's certification, and wash u received it last week. Wonder if they considered me today. Hopefully finding out tonight. :xf:
