How often are the committee meetings? Once a week or once every two weeks?

Post-interview decisions are released once a month. Not sure about the actual meetings though.

Can I ask where you found this info?

A while back in this thread a med student explained the pattern of acceptances and it seems to have been established through reports of acceptances by SDNers. Though, who knows how strictly the adcom adheres to this at this late juncture. The med student also stated that all interviewees that have not been accepted are reviewed again at each meeting until final decisions (A, R or WL) sometime in March. You can scroll back and find that post back in November I believe. I am also still waiting to hear after a mid-November interview.

Ah I see. Thank you for the info! I guess we'll both just have to keep our fingers crossed. Best of luck to you!

FYI, it could be worse. I've heard nothing and I interviewed in mid-October.

Same thing happened to me, you have to call the admissions office.

[med17]

are your online statuses updated to say as such?

 

[Gerudo]

I don't think so. It just says I am complete. :/

 

[elevenses]

Just received a cryptic email from my interviewer that simply says, "Congratulations, ______!" Maybe acceptances are going out tonight? Fingers crossed!

 

[lcck]

When did you interview?

 

[wangers5270]

[elevenses]

Correct - 10/16 interview. Not comfortable sharing who I interviewed with without their permission.

 

[Yatress]

I interviewed last week Monday (Jan 14th) and got the acceptance call Yesterday!

[damipop2004]

congrats! stats? also, did you get a status update online? (my friend is on the edge of her seat! lol)

trust me, we are all on the edges of our seats....This waiting game can be really frustrating.

Wash U is a top school for me, but I can't stress myself over notification. Thankfully, I have been accepted in another school and I am confident that I will be an outstanding physician wherever I go.

Good luck to everyone, which also includes me perhaps!

 

[Yatress]

congrats! stats? also, did you get a status update online? (my friend is on the edge of her seat! lol)

No, my online status still says File Complete. MCAT: 30-35; GPA: 3.8-4.0, Tons of research.

 

[elevenses]

Accepted! No status update, but the WUMSApply page immediately redirected me to pay my deposit upon login.

Did u apply for MSTP? I heard MSTP gives quick response.

 

[PsychOut13]

Could any of the current students (or more knowledgable pre-meds) comment on what a typical schedule is like? I tried to find a breakdown online but was unsuccessful.

No, Regular MD. I interviewed with the Assistant Dean of Admissions so that might helped with the quick response. However, just a speculation!

elevenses has awesome stats and was just accepted after a mid-october interview! they're probably actively reviewing people from the whole spectrum of interview days now, so maybe you'll hear after their next meeting! 😀 hang in there!

🙂thanks!! Unfortunately I don't have awesome stats haha I just hope my interview somehow pushed me over...I just wonder if a LOI would be at all valuable! bahhhh this process needs to be finished soon!

Can any current students comment about how the merit scholarship selection process works? I see that a few applicants this cycle have already received full-tuition scholarships, but I see on the website that most of the scholarships are supposed to be assigned in early May. I suppose I am sort of hoping that we accepted students won't actually have to wait that long to find out if we have been selected.
