Seriously? Is that okay to do?

I hope, but no II yet! On their website they use "WUStL"
I don't think they are going to take offense as long as you get the idea across
Hey, when were your letters submitted? Mine should have been submitted in June since that's the month other schools received themMy letters have been received finally! Anyone still waiting might want to check!
On my portal, it says everything has a green checkmark (app submitted, fee paid, LOR received/approved) but it says my application is not complete/ready... anyone else have this now or had this before? Is it just a waiting game or is there anything you did to complete your app? Thanks!
I think most people did. Short is fine as long as it addresses the prompt.Hi again everyone,
Did everyone here also complete the optional unsuccessful/failure prompt?
I do have an essay for that but it wont be more than 50% of their word limit. So better to leave it blank or still do it?
You might as well do it, since it is a required prompt at many other schools.Hi again everyone,

I never mentioned the school's name unless the prompt did. Even then, sometimes not, depending on the prompt.Cool beans
On another note:
People ask always mention how they misspelled the name of the school etc but where are those happening?
Is that name mention only happening in the "Why us" type of prompts?
Should we be throwing school names into other parts too?

Specifically with this school, it is Washington University, not Washington State University or University of Washington. A lot of people think they are the same thing....Cool beans

Why us...I probably wrote about 9(?) of them. It is pretty common.I support this. Im doing the same. Just was wondering why people have problems with the school name on secondaries.
I dont even think its a common prompt (not compared to the challenge/failure etc types)
I submitted my primary around July 2nd, and letters were complete on July 11th. My letters were all submitted by June 27th I believe.Hey, when were your letters submitted? Mine should have been submitted in June since that's the month other schools received them
I called and they said it's normal for the letters to take more than 10 days to be updated.Should I call or email them about not receiving my letters? It's been 12 days now.
Anyone know when they start releasing II's?
I received an MSTP II yesterday, complete early July.Anyone know when they start releasing II's?
MSTP = Maybe Someday Talk (to) Politicians #subjectmatterexpert #sciencefordays #yougotthisMSTP II just now!!
Just got my "application complete" email, and my portal now shows letters approved. I submitted my primary on 7/26 and secondary on 7/31.
got an II today! Anyone know how good of aid WashU gives out?
Please god let me be spared the kiss of deathII today. OOS, complete email received on 8/7.
weeksThis school is such a far reach that Im counting on it but about how long does it take to be marked complete (my LOR hasnt registered yet for some reason)

marked complete on portal 7/9 and never got a complete emailI submitted on 7/31 and got my complete email on 8/16.
Congrats! When we’re you complete/get a complete email?Got an II! Love WashU!
Received one of these last year + a nice brochure in the mail -- unless they offer a fee waiver (I think only Pritzker and Northwestern do this, maybe Vanderbilt too), then it's just an advertisement! Don't let that discourage you from shooting your shot, thoughJust got sent a URM/diversity email; do they send these out to all applicants? Haven’t applied here so not sure its worth it since most of the times these are school ads
