II today! 3.8/38, submitted late August.

Does anyone know until when Wash U interviews? I scheduled my interview for early January - just want to get a feel for how many seats are left. Thanks!

So after being complete since July I randomly decided to check my status today and noticed that it said interview offer 12/4/12. No email update yet, but I can access the calendar and schedule an interview. Has this happened to anyone else?

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.
 
Complete late August, invited for interview a few days ago for early January.
 
Good to see interview invites again. Any ideas on the next round of acceptances?
 
I just interviewed here and absolutely loved it! Good luck to all those who interviewed, who have up coming interviews and waiting to get an interview.
 
Everyone who has stayed in Olin Hall, do I need to bring any or all of the following:

1. Towels
2. Pillow
3. Blankets

???

The website says:

Each guest room in Olin is provided with towels, bed linens, pillows and an alarm clock. Shared bathroom facilities are located on each floor. There are no telephones in guest rooms.

I'm interviewing Tuesday! I really hope Tots isn't. Who wants to be compared to that guy?? 🙄
 
Kind of wondering why I haven't been rejected yet...

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.

Whatever sliver of hope I had is now gone.

WashU exceeded my expectations by a mile. I liked it a lot...a lot a lot.

Couldn't agree more. Fantastic facilities (especially the children's hospital), faculty, and students. A great experience.

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!:xf:
 
Got the call today!! I can hardly believe it, so surreal
 
I am interviewing Tuesday too! Omg excited and scared at the same time. Flying in from Canada!
 
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.
 
Accepted via status update! 😀 I can't believe it.
