[pbnj1448]

Just received a call for 50% tuition scholarship! Anyone know if WashU is receptive to matching aid?

 

[j_diggity]

All students get need-based aid here regardless of LOI or whether accepted off the WL, right?

 

[bobui64]

Had a call for a full tuition scholarship yesterday!

 

[mz1217]

Anyone know what WL movement typically looks like here?

dunno but i'd give me left kidney to go here

 

[s-dark]

Has anyone (accepted in March) received info regarding need-based scholarship?

 

[BrokenLlamas]

Just withdrew - good luck everyone!

(Posting this info in the name of transparency for future SDN lurkers; WashU grants full-tuition merit-based scholarships, and anything beyond full-tuition is based on need. Source: was given a full-tuition scholarship here and told that's how I would be able to secure a full COA scholarship)

We expecting WL movement in April?

 

[j_diggity]

We expecting WL movement in April?

On last year’s thread there was a small amount around April 27th, but most of it happened in May. I don’t think any WL movement was reported after June 1 but feel free to check to be sure.

 

[mz1217]

Has anyone been rejected post-II or not yet?

 

[Glucose9]

What happens if you hold on to more than four acceptances past 4/15?

 

[sweater.weather]

What happens if you hold on to more than four acceptances past 4/15?

I believe the 4/15 guideline is more of a recommendation from the AAMC, not a hard deadline. You will have to narrow your acceptances down to one school and select "Plan to Enroll" by 4/30 though

 

[oatmilkplease]

Has anyone been rejected post-II or not yet?

dayum no Rs?? or at least none reported here

 

[letmeinasap]

Is anyone else with an A still waiting to hear about merit aid/scholarships?

 

[applied2toomanyschoolsxd]

dayum no Rs?? or at least none reported here

i think historically wusm doesnt send post-ii r?

 

[j_diggity]

i think historically wusm doesnt send post-ii r?

Last year they sent out post-II Rs before 4/15

 

[oatmilkplease]

Wondering if we're gonna start seeing some WL movement tmw

 

[oatmilkplease]

Curious. Why tomorrow?

I think someone reported first movement on last thursday of April last year. U know washu loves their thursdays

 

[j_diggity]

Yeah last week of April was the first WL movement last year, though most happened in May

However, one thing I noticed is that WashU liked to significantly change their post-II processes from year to year without telling anybody. Gotta keep the pre-meds on their toes I guess

Yeah I have honestly no clue what to expect. Looks like there was decent movement some years and very little other years.

 

[tneduts lacidem-erp]

I assume WL A’s don’t get full tuition merit or the like. Is that a fair assumption?

Yeah I've heard that WL A's don't get as much aid from current students

 

[oatmilkplease]

Exactly what I expected which is completely logical and fair, and also why I’m not putting much hope in my Wash U WL.

Unfortunately I'm not in any position to negotiate/be picky about tuition 🙁 and i would still give up my firstborn to attend this school

 

[j_diggity]

I assume WL A’s don’t get full tuition merit or the like. Is that a fair assumption?

I'm assuming that need-based aid is available to all regardless of WL status, but yeah, merit aid may be reduced.

However, their average debt is still very low - lower than I'd expect if they gave all WL'd matriculants diddly-squat - so there's still a chance. I vaguely remember hearing that some WL'd students got merit aid in previous years as well. I think we just have to trust the process and hope for the best. I have my fingers crossed for us all.

 

[ahahaha187]

Hi! Just curious, has anyone been monitoring the amount of people in either the accepted groupme or facebook page? Just trying to see if any waitlist movement might happen before May haha

Also wondering this^ any movement?

I already sent an LOI here a while back, but I just saw their follow-up email about how we should send one if this school is our top choice. Should I send another one to emphasize my continued interest or would that be overkill?

Probably overkill unless you have a substantial update

I respectfully disagree. I do not think is overkill.

Also, a Letter of Intent (LOI) is not an update letter.
The main purpose of the LOI is to state that you will attend this university (assuming this is your top choice) over all others. If accepted, you would withdraw other medical school applications and attend.

Also, several schools encourage sending an updated LOI. In other words, my understanding is that a LOI dated 4/30 or 5/1 bears more weight than a LOI dated in early April.

Damn u think? I'd expect that a letter dated in April might have more weight than one dated in Jan or Feb or something (and even then, its prob marginal), but I seriously doubt that there's a huge difference between sending one early April vs late April

thanks to everyone for their thoughts! Would you consider a pre-print a substantial update I should include? If not, what content would the LOI contain? Just a simple few sentences that I will attend and reiterate my reasons?

Would you send another LOI if you have no significant updates?

I sent one in Feb, but would like to reaffirm my interest. Perhaps I should send a short and sweet letter to confirm my interest?

Maybe include a mp4 of me crying and begging? (kidding but only barely)

 

[pbnj1448]

Just withdrew my A! For transparency I received a 50% merit scholarship and an extra ~23K in need based aid. Good luck to everyone

 

[premed155180]

Withdrew my A as well! I received a full tuition scholarship that I believe was all need-based.

 

[mz1217]

Any WL movement today?

 

[oatmilkplease]

[Trippanzee]

Really hoping that WL movement isn't over yet but I'm a little scared seeing just 1 person on here get off so far
