i wonder if wustl will still prioritize really hgih stats this year

I’m LM >81 and on post-interview silence since October so who knows

 

[iSick]

i think washu interviews around 1k applicants so i think they cant just waitlist everyone

WashU: "Hold my beer"

 

[neurosabre]

According to last year's thread the accepted students' FB page was close to 300 so our guesses of 125 or so might be way off...

not sure i understand, 125 is an underestimate?

same LM > 81 and even got pushed to one of the very last interviews (late Jan). radio silence of course. was hoping my stats would give me an edge but guess not

Based solely off those comments from last year 125 might be an underestimate by 175ish people!

I sincerely hope so..

 

[neurosabre]

Yeah we're just spitballing here. One way or the other we'll all know our initial status over the next few weeks. Happy waiting, y'all

 

[darth_chonker]

Hope y'all are coping better than me. This is by far my top choice and I've been on silence since mid september interview. Goodluck everyone

The anxiety won't really hit until Wednesday night so right now it's okay. Thursday and Friday are gonna be something else though...

What is Wednesday?

 

[neurosabre]

What is Wednesday?

Oh I just figured that we likely won't start hearing until Thursday or Friday, so Wednesday night is a good time to start getting worked up about it

My logic as well, as a result Wednesday and Thursday night are currently pre booked for a nice bottle of wine, something unhealthy, and a minecraft binge 😀

I have bar trivia and Doom planned!

League of Legends and watching my Bruins play

 

[darth_chonker]

Wine and Tinder

 

[jmoon2610]

Wine and Tinder

A classically effective and dangerous combo 😆

 

[neurosabre]

League of Legends and watching my Bruins play

Boston or UCLA?

 

[iSick]

Boston or UCLA?

The #1 team in the NHL, but a fair question.

 

[deleted986277]

Are we expecting a lot of calls to go out on Friday or Thursday?

 

[neurosabre]

Hell yeah go Bruins!

 

[iSick]

I feel like this is especially appropriate for the WUSM thread... let’s go Blues! 😉

Yeah, that's really my only reservation. I was enjoying my interview day, and then a guy with a Blues jersey walked by and I was sent back to the hell that was last Stanley Cup. Screw the blues.

 

[neurosabre]

Are we expecting a lot of calls to go out on Friday or Thursday?

Last year the big call wave started on Feb. 28, which was a Thursday, so I wouldn't be shocked if they start Thursday this year. But they kept going for a few days!

For a few days like onto the next Monday?

 

[neurosabre]

For a few days like onto the next Monday?

To the 5th or 6th I think. So to the next Tuesday or Wednesday

 

[Ol'St.Louis]

*inhales* LETS GO ~BLUES~! I hear it's hard to be a fan of other teams here in STL. We're a passionate bunch.

Does anyone know if they are offering all 50% tuition scholarships to entering class of 2020, or a mix of 50% and 100% scholarships, or will some get on scholarships at all? I already have a great scholarship to one of our state schools.

In the exact same position. Not coping well at all here and can barely concentrate at work haha

 

[deleted1017563]

Where on the portal is the award letter for merit scholarships?

 

[khichadi]

Let's hope something positive starts from tomorrow morning....

 

[angryratbaby]

yall make me anxious

 

[neurosabre]

yall make me anxious

Don't worry, I make me anxious too

 

[sshar118]

Any calls so far?!

 

[Sco_17]

I’m losing my mind over here

 

[heterozygousrecessive]

Any calls so far?!

Probably won’t be until 4/5 central time at the earliest...

 

[sshar118]

Probably won’t be until 4/5 central time at the earliest...

Oh, really? Why?

 

[stvea349]

Grats! did you mean letter of interest or intent? if it's rhe former, what'd you talk about

letter of interest! gave them an update on my life - nothing interesting at all lmao, just said my grades stayed steady last semester and talked about my new campus job + volunteering and how those will make me a better physician then talked about how much i like st. louis and washU and how my interview day confirmed that for me

 

[heterozygousrecessive]

Oh, really? Why?

If you look back at old threads that’s usually when it happens... end of work day and such...

 

[stvea349]

Where did you hear that you're not considered for aid until you've confirmed your spot?

sorry not like confirm your spot but you have to "accept" your acceptance to access the financial aid portal

 

[sshar118]

I would think calls happen tomorrow and through next Wednesday based on last years thread..

Really? I was waiting... Lol. One more day I guess

 

[deleted986277]

WashU is one of those schools that encourages LOIs right?

 

[deleted1035557]

WashU is one of those schools that encourages LOIs right?

Yes! I believe in the top20, the schools that want LOIs are WashU, Mayo, and Mt. Sinai.

 

[anonymous123454321]

Yes! I believe in the top20, the schools that want LOIs are WashU, Mayo, and Mt. Sinai.

Also northwestern I think

By LOI do you mean interest or intent?

 

[deleted1035557]

By LOI do you mean interest or intent?

Both! Obviously they prefer the intent, but interest (i.e. this school is in my top 3) still helps your app too.

 

[toemento16]

Are they known for calling in the eve?

 

[neurosabre]

Well, doesn't seem like anything today. See y'all tomorrow, same time, same place?

 

[darth_chonker]

Well, doesn't seem like anything today. See y'all tomorrow, same time, same place?

I live here now so yes

 

[deleted994247]

You would put “you’re in my top 3” in a letter of interest? I have mixed feelings about that. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
