II! so stoked for this one!
complete 7/19, and my status switched from "Under review" to "processed" 1-2 weeks ago

Which status section are you referring to? Mine showed this almost immediately, so I’m guessing you’re referring to a different spot on the application status.

Nope I'm referring to the spot in your photo. Where yours says "processed" mine said something like under review / app complete for almost 2 months

Anyone’s recommendation letters still haven’t been approved by the admissions office? All my documents arrived around 9/1 but I didn’t receive any complete email nor the letters have been approved in the system 🙁

Maybe give them a call? I submitted my app yesterday and it was marked complete today

That is strange. Mine happened immediately. Hopefully, you didn't get caught in some kind of system error.

Is anyone having issues with the interview calendar on their portal? I don't see a single available date, in any month, and it's taking forever for each page to load...all other sites are fine so I don't think it's an internet issue. Just trying to figure out if there's something temporarily wrong with the portal or if there are actually no available dates right now?

yeah Wash U’s portal is notoriously slow. Just keep trying and it should load eventually

 

[Ikzencriel]

If my app says "processed" but not II/R yet...what should I take that as?

From what I've seen here, it means literally nothing so far, good or bad. Sorry

LOL you definitely got me until I finished reading your post. Here I was like, "wow my chance to meet memelord."
I brought this upon myself.

At some second look, I am sure paths will cross (TBH, I have made enough connections on here that the whole month of April is gonna be lit *assuming that the acceptances come*)

This wednesday? I’m missing you by a week!

Received II last week (9/23) - OOS MCAT 520, GPA 3.88, also have personal tie to Wash U b/c significant other is in neuro PhD program at Wash U. I added this as an update when my SO's MSTP friend mentioned that they tend to have poor yield and so any personal ties to Wash U are of great significance to them!

Thanks for sharing! I might consider adding an update regarding my ties.

Might be tenuous, but I put a close cousin of mine who was a urology resident at WUSTL, and I guess I wasn’t dismissed for being desperate.

You did that as an update?

 

[deleted976595]

You did that as an update?

I listed the fact that WUSM is my PI's son's alma mater on the secondary question asking about experiences/relationships with them. The fact that they specifically word the question with some fairly significant degrees of separation (you, a family member, or research mentor and also just "personal experience or relationship") makes it seem like it'd be worth letting them know if you have an actually strong connection in some way.

On the secondary, there was a question specifically asking for family or research connections to WUSTL.

Oh. I have strong ties to the city but not really the school. Maybe that’s why I left it blank.

 

[notsobabydoc]

man, what's with St. Louis that people just don't want to go there for??

 

[deleted972488]

It’s not a big city and it’s not near the coast.

flyover?!

 

[deleted972488]

flyover?!

Yeah, pretty much. I like St. Louis, but I’ve never lived in a big city before.

Wustl was amazing. Super chill and fun interview day. And I got to meet the esteemed enterococcus

Likewise 🙂

Though I guess we’ve met previously already xD

Love those fancy-wrapped cookies

I was born in St. Louis and currently go to Washu undergrad. The city overall has a high crime/murder rate, but the figure is skewed mostly by one region (stay away from east St. Louis). It also feels relatively easy to run out of fun things to do here because it's not a big city.

They said in info that one night lodging available at The CORE.
What's CORE?? Did anyone stay there? Is it part of university dorm?

It's the med student housing/apartments. You should take it--you'll have a room to yourself and it's pretty nice, super close to the med school

[mvsrocks]

Did anyone else who interviewed here remember what they told us about post interview updates? Are these allowed?

Yes, they are allowed/encouraged.

 

[mvsrocks]

Do we just post them on the website portal?

Yeah
