Congrats! I interviewed at the same time so I'm glad to hear that we are still under consideration!
I was not expecting it so late, but I guess at this point they have everyone who has interviewed and can look at them all. The person who called (I genuinely don’t remember who it was) said they had just gotten out of their meeting, similar to what has been said before.
 
Just got my financial aid package on NetPartner about need-based aid. Has anyone heard recently about merit aid? Got the acceptance 4 weeks ago and haven't heard anyone get merit aid yet from that time frame, so I'm not sure if the need-based package factored in a merit aid of nothing, or if they haven't made those decisions yet.

I got in 2 weeks ago and got my merit scholarship offer today!
 
I’d love to be proven wrong, but based on last years thread I’m not sure we can expect more than a few WL acceptances after April 1st. The class size was apparently reduced to 100 last year, so I suppose that explains it.

I'm inclined to agree simply to put an end to this constant cycle of hope followed by despair. However, considering the implications COVID has had on the application cycle, I'm also inclined to think there may be more WL movement than in normal years. What do you think?

You reckon all As are done?

Sorry, I should’ve clarified - I believe there are definitely As left to go out between now and April 1st(?) or 15th (whichever day they said decisions would be announced). As far as how many, I have no clue but I can’t help but think it will be a small number.

My main point was that only 1 person reported getting in off the WL in last year’s thread, presumably related to a reduction in class size, so once the preliminary As are finished we may be basically done.

Again, this is ultimately just pessimistic speculation on my end haha.
 
Does anyone know when WashU's second look is? They have to give us some kind of a decision before then, right?
 
congrats to all those accepted recently! I guess that may be it for the rest of us then? 🙁
