II yesterday, marked complete a few days ago, submitted early August

 

[Almighty Saguaro]

Anybody recently marked complete? If so, when did you submit?

 

[Pastamahn]

Are the pizza parties the night before interview days? And typically at what time? I'm trying to schedule an interview date that allows me to attend the pizza party but am having some difficulty doing so 😳

8pm the night before. Although I don't seem to see any information about WHERE the pizza is at...

I'm still waiting also.. everything should've been received by ~ Sept3rd latest...

It'll be in the student lounge in Olin Hall, the student residence hall on the medical center campus.

 

[prettypinkbookworm]

II today! Complete 8/28, scheduled my interview for the day my interview at SLU so hopefully that isn't too overwhelming!

 

[Pastamahn]

I'm assuming most people waive their right to access the Dean's Certification?

Yeah I waived it. I mean... If you've never done anything, I figure it will just say "nothing happened"

[Krabbeman]

[rudyin78]

Wash U you're killing me. All my materials were sent in mid-august and I'm still not marked as complete...ughh

 

[lulut1]

Is Dean's Certification required for a complete file, or is it only for matriculants?

 

[rukia013]

Is Dean's Certification required for a complete file, or is it only for matriculants?

It's only for matriculation; your file will be marked complete without the Dean's Cert if everything else has been received and processed.

Close. It's required for a final decision after interview, not matriculation. But it isn't needed to receive an II.

 

[Glazedonutlove]

People who have interviews: are you staying in the Olin hall or hotel?

 

[Hupsty]

Olin is free!

 

[Glazedonutlove]

Olin is free!

awesome! 🙂 don't have to worry about transportation

Idk but I was offered an II without my dean cert lol so I'd venture to say not necessary for a complete

 

[bobmccorweg]

I submitted everything Aug 6th, and I'm still not marked as complete...anyone else in the same boat?

 

[after_the_flood]

Do you all know if they're sending II chronologically according to completion date?

Edit: for those that have received interviews, are you all WashU alums?

 

[a_borgia]

I submitted everything Aug 6th, and I'm still not marked as complete...anyone else in the same boat?

Shoot them an email! They mark everything by hand, and are very helpful

 

[bobmccorweg]

Shoot them an email! They mark everything by hand, and I submitted on 9/3 but wasn't marked complete when I checked yesterday. They fixed it within 2 hours.

I sent them an email+called twice 🙁

 

[a_borgia]

I sent them an email+called twice 🙁

Awww :/

I don't know what to tell you. They've been really great about everything, so I'm sorry you're having a bad experience. I really doubt you got screened out or anything if you've submitted a secondary, so I don't think there's much you can do except wait.

 

[panda16]

Praise be that they offer complimentary accommodations for the interview day...my bank account breathes a sigh of relief.

 

[172714]

Did anyone get an invite on their portal but not via email?

 

[phuynh94]

II! Beyond stoked! 🙂

 

[integrin]

Got an II as well tonight at around 9pm 😀

Undisputed pizza eating champion right here. Would it reflect unfavorably upon me if I take and eat an entire box of pizza by myself?

Since all of us interviewees will be in the same accommodations.... maybe we can have a giant pillow fight? 😛

Also a current M1, and we have plenty of pizza to go around . Applicants get first dibs! The students that come to the pizza parties have nothing to do with admissions either. Congrats to the recent II recipients!

Yay! I'll polish off 2 boxes then! Hopefully we'll get to see you at the pizza social!

Party in the dorm the night before???

This is why I'll bring earplugs lol... Gotta get some sleep right?

I actually did do that, and I was accepted, sooooo...

 

[lulut1]

Sorry if this has been posted before, but does WashU sent completed emails? Or should we just check the portal? Thanks!

 

[Neuro_Guy]

I got a complete e-mail, the portal will also update.

 

[172714]

Are people receiving IIs by email or from checking the portal?

 

[deleted393595]

Lol! Admissions will forever wonder why everyone on interview day looks so exhausted 😛

What did they tell you? I am in same boat..

 

[integrin]

I received an email notification for my II

 

[bobmccorweg]

What did they tell you? I am in same boat..

on the phone, they just said they were inputing 1000 letters at a time and just told me to wait.

 

[JMMTB]

on the phone, they just said they were inputing 1000 letters at a time and just told me to wait.

Yeah I submitted on the Fourth of July and my letters still haven't been uploaded (to the WASHU app, not AMCAS) but I called and got the same response.

glad to know im not the only one

 

[thatwouldbeanarchy]

Looking for some further clarification on the Dean's cert... Are we required to submit one from EVERY school we've attended? Wondering if I need to request one from my undergrad institution (graduated several years ago), from my post-bac institution, or both?

Both

 

[p0gono]

Both

I thought it was only institutions where you expect a degree or were granted one?

 

[idontknowwhatnametopick]

CERTIFICATION BY CURRENT DEAN OF STUDENTS:
Certification form(s) must be submitted on your behalf by an official at each undergraduate or graduate institution listed on your AMCAS Application from which you have received or expect to receive a degree in addition to any other school in which you were enrolled and were involved in a disciplinary or institutional action.

Did you not get a degree from your post bacc institution?

 

[thatwouldbeanarchy]

I didn't get a degree from my post-bacc school. So I'll assume then that they're just looking for a Dean's cert from my undergrad institution. Thanks!!

 

[idontknowwhatnametopick]

I had a doubt about one of my schools so I called them and asked, and they were very nice. Or just do your undergrad institution for now, and then if/when you interview you can ask them in person about the post bacc.

 

[rudyin78]

LOL just got completed today after submitting everything by August 14th...get it together Wash U
