Through early February if I'm remembering correctly.
This is very good to hear. 👍 I've been complete since September, and I'm getting REALLY nervous that I might not get an interview here... Does anyone know what the average time is between completion and acceptance??

There are at least 200 offers of admission left. Don't worry. There is much action later in the season.

Pft, if you are interviewing then I am sure you have nothing to worry about. That being said, I will not be there Tuesday. 🙁
Great- see you there JBob! Tots, I"m sorry I won't have the pleasure of meeting you! I'm sure you'll rock your interview though, whenever it is!
I don't think they send rejections till like march.
There were people early on in the cycle (Aug/Sept I think) saying they had received rejections.
Bah.. If he was asking about MSTP.. then sure... otherwise, no.
WashU exceeded my expectations by a mile. I liked it a lot...a lot a lot.
pfaction is the poster. It's a couple of posts before the mstp one.

I looked it up this morning on my laptop to be sure I wasn't crazy and imagining things. I'm on my phone now and it's more difficult to track down posts.

pfaction is applying MD/PhD / MSTP.
(I didn't look until questioned since I remembered the name from the Columbia thread.)

I promise that the MD program doesn't reject ANYONE until March. The MSTP is different. They start rejected as soon as they start the season.
I'm glad people have been having good interview experiences. As always, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about the pre-clinical years or taking a research year off. Clinical stuff, I haven't done, but I can tell you how it works.

Did not know. Thanks.
Whatever sliver of hope I had is now gone.

Couldn't agree more. Fantastic facilities (especially the children's hospital), faculty, and students. A great experience.
Congrats!! That's awesome! 👍 I saw above where you said WashU does interviews through Feb., but any idea how long they'll continue to send invites?? What dates were available when you got your invite yesterday????
Ps: mind sharing your stats?? If not, I completely understand!
thanks! 3.95/36s, senior @ an ivy right now. there were dates from january 7 through january 25, 2-3 per week.
Awesome! Very similar stats to mine, but I'm at a state school 😳 Lol.. Hopefully I still have some hope! I visited WashU last summer and it was amazing!
Congrats! When did you interview?
Thanks, 10/22
Guys, so its only 1 interview? Why do I only see one name? I thought it is meant to be two?
Some people have one interview, some have two (one regular one and one shorter one). They give a fraction of people the second shorter interview as a way to standardize their interview process. They supposedly select randomly the students who get a second interview.
I only had one. I much prefer having multiple interviews... but ehh. Some people on my interview day had two; they told us the second interviewer was new and being evaluated.
Okay sure, as long as this isn't abnormal treatment that's fine with me.
Also- did anyone take the train to the school from the airport? How was this, the directions they provide for how this works seem a little vague to me.

Yeah, I took the train from the school to the airport. It's ridiculously simple. From the airport, there's only one MetroLink train you can get on. Just buy a ticket and validate it in one of the machines on the platform before you board. Then just get off at Central West End, and you are a 5-10 minute walk to Olin Hall.
Here's a link to a map of the MetroLink system, if you're curious.
Yup, it's actually quite cheap and simple. MetroLink is great! The machines for tickets even take cards. You can use their website or Google maps to plan out your trip. Some people think it's shady but I felt perfectly comfortable even in the late afternoon after dark.
Best of luck with your interview! WUSTL is... impressive.
CONGRATULATIONS!
When was your interview?
And do you go to the Application Status tab on the application portal?
Accepted! 🙂
