2022-2023 Washington University in St. Louis

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Do we know if they're rolling the IIs out, or if they sent it in one big batch? Aka should I keep neurotically checking my email or call it a day? :,)
 
hey yall how long did it take for you to get your kira talent invite after II?
 
Also in the email sent after scheduling the interview date, it says "Register for a live virtual campus tour hosted by current students on the date of your interview and Plan to attend the following sessions via Zoom on the date of your Interview". Did they mean to say "on the week of your interview" instead of "date of your interview"? Cause they are sending the interview times 2 days before the date and I feel like scheduling all these events the same day of the interview would cause scheduling conflicts...

If you go to the portal it says "Plan to attend the following sessions via Zoom on the date of your interview or on an adjacent date if your interview is on a Friday" so I'm guessing that with the exception of the Friday interviews that they do actually want you to do this on interview day

is the interview more important at washu? I can’t imagine they would waste that many resources interviewing like 25% of people if it wasn’t.
Well, it took awhile to ascertain how Wash U. was conducting THAT many interviews; they use a third party to “pre-interview” applicants and record it. It’s a similar concept to what Altus has rolled out that U. of Colorado is experimenting with this cycle, but through a different company & after a preliminary review of applications. IMO, the posted chart is likely a bit misleading as it’s doubtful 25% of their applicants are getting to a final interview with actual people.
 
The pre-interview isn't a screening tool, everyone who has an actual interview does it in addition to the traditional interviews with faculty (2).
Thank you for clarifying/correcting my misunderstanding.
 
Still pretty wild though, they must have an immense amount of admissions staff. I can't imagine there isn't a degree of burnout/bias nearing the middle/end of interviews when they interview this many people...
