Recorded interview: Dress as if it’s a normal in-person / live interview. I (female) wore a blazer with a solid shirt.
You should go to everything on the day of the interview. I do not exactly remember if anything is optional exactly, but there aren't a ton of kids in the session usually and its good to show interest. You have the tour with like 4 other kids and the leadership session was with like 10 other peeps.
If you mean the Why WashU, yes, every session covers something different..
Same here for this school. Looking at last year's thread, there was one reported II wave in December, and then 3 in January. Holding onto hope!
Should still be more II's to come. They seem to only schedule out a couple weeks in advance, and when I interviewed earlier this week I was told their interview season was only about halfway though.
On my cell phone, it said the caller ID is "Barnes Jewish."
Yes, I was wondering the same thing. It seems a few people have received the call according to their initial November 12th date, but not as many as I would expect if they truly were releasing their first round of As on that day. I'm trying to figure this out because an R or A will determine whether or not I have to postpone graduation to take calc in the winter. Any insight would be great!
Congrats! Jw what date was your interview?
10/11
I emailed my interviewers because they gave me their email addresses, but I am sure you can send a PDF to the admissions office and they would forward it for you. 🙂
Thank you! Also, should I send a separate one for each interviewer or should I just make the one for the both of them?
Of course! Personally I would send a separate one for each interviewer, that way you can address them individually! I didn't do this specifically for WashU but I did this for peer institutions and it worked just fine.
Yes, I think I got the link this morning
FYI you will get that every week, as they hold them every week. So don't feel pressured to go to one immediately.
Ohh ok gotcha thanks! I thought we had to go to one the week of/before our interview, so that's a relief to hear
You can also email their admissions office to ask to be sent recordings of sessions you missed. I couldn't attend one I signed up for and they happily hooked me up with the recording.
Based on last year's thread it seems they meet/release decisions every 2nd Thursday of the month. However, the most recent/only wave of A's so far was on the 1st Thursday of November.
I really don't think it matters but I'd go with business casual or full on suit.
casual. I went in a hoodie and was in the middle of cooking dinner. If your feeling like it , you can wear a button up.
I just wore a button up but everyone I was with was wearing full suits. I don't think it really matters though since according to my tour guide they are not evaluating you.
Casual is fine, my tour guide told us we were too well-dressed and rushed to put on a button up to match us lol
Just curious, did you get the A earlier this week? Wasn't sure if they had sent out their December decisions already.
No haha, I'm MSTP and got my A at the beginning of November
Looking at last year's thread, there were a couple decisions released randomly from like December 11-13, Friday & Sunday afternoons... Might be a little different this year
CONGRATS. You're going insane today!!
I also received an A on Thursday afternoon! Extremely surprised and excited! I interviewed there in late September. Wishing y'all the best of luck!
+1, complete early early July, update in December.
+1! Was NOT expecting anything this late in the cycle haha
