Any idea up to what interview dates the committee will be reviewing?

Does anybody know up until what day they've reviewed/announced so far? And is the review strictly chronological, such that if one isn't offered an A and the committee has already made a decision about others who interviewed on the same day, it's a likely W/R?

Wasn't there another round of As last week? Would this imply that they also met last week?

Yes There were A’s last week as well. They meet on Thursday’s and it seems they met the last 2 Thursday’s.
All interview dates are on the table with no apparent correlation between interview date and review date. Someone got accepted 2 weeks after their interview, some people several months after.

What are post-II R, WL, and A rates like?
Click to expand...
Not sure about WL rates, but acceptances are in DataKing’s signature at the top of this thread. Pretty low for WashU, but honestly similar to many of the other top schools. From what I gather, they interview many, many more students than spots so that they can curate exactly the type of class they want.

Anyone have advice on thank you notes? I’m a bit on the fence because I made it a point in my interview to carve out a few seconds at the end to thank them for interviewing me and considering my application, hence don’t want to sound tooo kiss-ass-y. Also, only one of my interviewers gave me her email and it would be weird to only send one thank you note. Thoughts?
 
Any accepted students got news about merit aid?

Nope. But I'm hoping for it every day lol.


Are you sure? Last year there were so many decisions made in Feb...

oh damn, I thought a wave of feb acceptances were already sent out. Do you think it's possible that someone who interviewed in feb will hear back this month...?

Are medical schools able to see where an applicant has been accepted once the Choose Your Medical School Tool is available on the 19th, or does that not occur until a later traffic day?

They don't know where you even matriculate until October. They only see aggregate numbers of how many of their accepted applicants PTE WashU versus another institution versus no selection yet.

What happens at Meet the M1s? Is it just a time for us to ask questions? Should I try to attend more than one of these sessions?

I'm pretty sure they increased the frequency of their meetings in Feb last year if you look at last year's thread. And kept that frequency until mid-march when they then started sending out more post-II R's.

Edit: I.e. they met multiple times in Feb.

Edit 2: and to actually answer your question, I think so! Someone who interviewed in January got their decision a couple weeks later :)

Just curious, but have any December MD interviewees heard back recently?

It's a time for you to ask questions and get honest answers and meet some of the current students and people who might be in your class. Bonus, you get to see me in person (virtually) on some of them. As for more than one, that's your call. Some folks do a bunch, others do none!

Congrats! Had you previously been accepted in a different call, or did they accept and offer the scholarship at the same time?

Do they release decisions on Thursdays?

Kinda? It seems like they meet every couple of weeks or so on Thursday (though I think there have been back-to-back weeks) and then you may get a call that day or the following days.

Not that many calls have gone out imo compared to schools that have distinct waves of calls. I really think the most in March thing is still a thing
