@e408 , you haven't seen any updates on your portal?
I believe they will update portals tonight 12 AM central time.

you just rescheduled my bed time for me...thx...:bear:

but only for those who got in anyways, right? so if we didn't get a call, it doesn't really matter anyways....

Probably, but we're all gonna check them anyways, ahahaha! Even if T1p is making random **** up, we'll still clutch to every fragment of possible information...

so...did no one actually get a phone call??
this is a bummer...=(
maybe next week....

I looked at previous threads and they have always updated them on Saturday 12AM Central Time.

I wasn't calling you a liar 🙂 just using your post as an example of the kind of hearsay that gets us all riled up, myself included. Gets us all really randy for those updates, you know.
 
Tick tock.... But would they update portals but not call anyone? Doesn't really sound legit.
 
*crickets* could've sworn they would send acceptances today. Sorry all for spewing hearsay.
 
I actually was stoic enough to go to bed 2 hours ago, fell asleep, had some dream that i couldn't remember. Only to wake up at exactly 12am central time! Well then of course I checked the portal which was the same old portal.

It takes skills to be this neurotic.
 
Just called the call from dean Ratts! Can't....just can't hold back the tears in the middle of a fine food store.

Accepted!

Congrats! WashU is awesome, I love it here. Feel free to post here or PM me if you have any questions.
 
Just got the call and I AM IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ditto 🙂

Thanks for reaching out to me! You guys are one of the most important the reason that WashU is so awesome and that I felt bonded with her so strongly.

wow they are calling people on saturday night?
@NotoriousNarwhal and @FriendlyFH, have your statuses updated yet?
I'm surprised too! I was going to let the phone call goes to VM because I never thought it would be from admission office. I actually customized the VM greetings in anticipation, would have been funny.

I think rather than being passed on twice, you were simply deferred to a later meeting. Dean Ratts said they hadn't fully determined this year's process of sending out acceptances because of many changes they wanted to make to improve the admission process. She clearly said that she expected many acceptances would actually go out in March or even April. So don't be discouraged!

Congratulations!!! Your excitement is so heartwarming :highfive:

I don't have phone service right now. Did your online portal change at all?

Haha, thanks. It hasn't changed. Would have loved to have some proof except the memory of the phone call to tell myself that I actually got in
 
This may be an idiotic question but... what's the dresscode for the pizza dinner on Interview Eve?
 
It's extremely casual. Many of the students who dropped by when I was there were in gym clothes/sweatpants.

I tried to scan for this to no avail...
How and when do you find out who your admissions committee interviewer is?

Thnx in advance

The portal will have a new "Visit Arrangements" tab that shows your interview schedule and the names of your interviewers. Three days before my interview I received an e-mail telling me to check this tab. Good luck!

Thanks a mill!
 
So, I was randomly checking app portals today and saw that I apparently have been invited to interview according to my status. However, I haven't received an email? Did this happen to anyone else? I am ready to celebrate but fear it may be a mistake!

Upon reading your quote, I checked my portal as well, II! And apparently, this does happen. I don't think we need to send them an email, just select an option in the interview arrangements.

This happened to me and I received an email around 7 or 8pm that confirmed the invite! If I recall correctly, another person got a portal invite and not an email invite, so they called to confirm with the interview office and it was not a mistake. So I would say if you don't get an email tonight, call the office tomorrow!
Congrats!

Where on their portal would it say II? here's to hoping....

Yeah, it happened before. You should celebrate! Congrats!
 
Anyone know whom to email with an update letter?
 
Email the normal admcom email ([email protected]) and they will respond once they get it.. might take a couple days.

I emailed dean Ratts with my update, because on my interview day she said we could email updates to her. Haven't gotten a response yet though 🙁 (emailed it on Sunday I think) was that the wrong way to go?
