Quick question- I got a Why WashU Wednesday invite, which the school website says is only for applicants who get II. I don't have an II yet, and my status on the app website says "application processed" but no other info. Am I reading too much into this or should I reach out to admin to ask about my app status?

The website says “those who have interviewed or are scheduled to interview to learn in greater detail what distinguishes WashU’s School of Medicine”

Therefore, if you’ve received that email, you’re perhaps in line to get an interview invite email. That’s my guess. Otherwise it doesn’t make sense to send it to all applicants. Besides, you’ve to register with your AMCAS ID.

If it’s not an II it’s not an II ladies and gentlemen don’t read too much into it.

That being said, +1, just got this email. Knowing it was coming didn't stop the heart attack and subsequent disappointment

WAIIIIIITTT WHHHATTTTTTTTT

 

[6'0 OGFLYERCI]

I mean they interview a third of their applicants. Maybe it's true we are in line. I'm down to be in line for an II 😎😎

 

[5ben1]

Got the Why WashU email aswell, are all of us really up for an II without knowing? I'm cautiously optimistic, it would be straight-up sadistic if this was just a catfish.

 

[onwardsandupwards468]

I haven’t gotten the email😭😭

 

[oatmilkplease]

Just got that email, here's hoping it means II

 

[futuredocflo]

ok tin foil hat moment:

So the newsletter has an option to unsubscribe at the bottom and says "You are receiving this email because you opted in via our website." BUT the Why WashU DOESN'T?! *Hope intensifies*

 

[6'0 OGFLYERCI]

🤣🤣🤣 TBH let's just wait guys. We still got the whole cycle ahead of us. I love th3 speculation and research going into this tho lol

 

[amateurbater]

[Mocha Bear]

+1 for "Why WashU Wednesday" email. I also received a newsletter on August 14, but have heard nothing else otherwise.

 

[oatmilkplease]

I'm cautiously hopeful...knock on wood

[sdfwr312]

don't subject it "Invitation to..."

 

[deleted1164335]

Called WashU admissions office. They said they’re doing the “Why WashU Wednesdays” different this year. It’s a generic event for all to get more info about their programs and resources. Not indicative of an II, unfortunately.

[opabiniafan]

starting off the email with the word INVITATION gotta be one of the cruelest things one could do

 

[iceshard1]

The Why WashU Wednesday zoom registration link doesn't appear to be working, I called admissions and they said to try again in 48 hours.

 

[lychee.jelly.]

Did they say when acceptances may be coming out?

 

[futuredocflo]

ughhh just want washu to love me

[misotope]

It was to good to be true

 

[MianTiao]

It was to good to be true

We're in this boat together. You are my twin

 

[Int'lMed]

For the Why WashU info session: my registration link took me to a site that said “registration closed”. Does that mean they’ve reached capacity or will it only be available on the day at 5?

I registered yesterday without issue. I would imagine it's probably full

 

[6'0 OGFLYERCI]

At the meeting we should get the staff to send us IIs. Be like omg I love washu so much now I would be a perfect fit!

 

[Marsultor]

Did they have to include “update” in the subject line?!

 

[babybluee]

Hi! WashU Med M2 here. If anyone has any questions feel free to dm or reach out!

 

[Hazelyn]

Unfortunately, I still can't sign up for today's event. Anyone in the same boat?

[theRizzDr]

Are why washU Wednesdays open to all applicants or just those who have II?

It's everyone. Over 500 people attended today's seminar alone

Could you outline the main points of the session?

 

[itschilly]

Could you outline the main points of the session?

They recorded the session - not sure where/when it’s available. It was basically just a Q&A about their curriculum, specifically their faculty coaching program. Essentially, M1s are randomly assigned to a coaching group with 7 other M1s and they meet once weekly through Phase 1 of the curriculum and eventually meetings wean to one every ~8 weeks in line with the end of each clinical rotation. Coaches are MDs/DOs who are ultimately there to be like a big brother/sister — they can help you connect with other people for research/service/etc. but they’re mostly there to talk through difficulties you’re having e.g. difficult patient interactions, homesickness, failing a block etc. One student on the panel described her group as similar to a group therapy session. That’s the gist, you can find more detail assuming they post the recording at some point

That is very helpful. Thank you so much.

Assistant Dean said they would not send out acceptances before mid-December!
