oh wait have you received an A? I'm still waiting to hear so I don't have an admission decision tab

 

[tweedledumb]

Does anyone have any idea how long they take to process financial aid applications after submitting all materials? ty!

 

[Gurububus]

Anyone have a "Assessment and Attendance" criteria appear on the admissions checklist that was not there prior to this week?

Yes I have it too

 

[alaskagirl1992]

Anyone know the CSS code for Wash U Med? Is it just the same as Wash U proper?

 

[applesarecool]

I know this is a reach but does anyone think another scholarship wave might be coming?

 

[zyzz.]

I know this is a reach but does anyone think another scholarship wave might be coming?

They said there's another one mid march

 

[puppyscats]

how possible is it to get an A this last round if I interviewed early Oct. don't want to get my hopes up LOL.. also did they conduct more interviews between the last decision wave and now?

Can anyone speak on the general student satisfaction here? Are students generally happy here (subjective question, I know, but it is really important to me so I thought it worth asking.)?

The students I’ve talked to have all been very content and happy. Barnes Jewish and WashU medicine are huge so the opportunities are unlimited, and the low cost of living in St. Louis coupled with their generous financial aid relieves a lot of stress. Can’t go wrong with P/F for all four years, no internal ranking and no AOA either.

Is it P/F clerkship? I was under the impression that it's functionally H/P/F given their competency designations

Its p/f with the opportunity to earn a distinction.

 

[PotatoBean]

Its p/f with the potential to earn a distinction.

Perhaps my ignorance is getting the better of me: how is that distinct from H/P/F?

Distinctions at WashU are awarded at the end of clerkship year to give students an opportunity to stand out in clinical knowledge (doing well on all shelf exams), clinical reasoning (doing well according to evaluations), or advocacy (self explanatory). But each clerkship is true pass/fail. It's not honors/pass/fail.

From a prior sdn thread.

From talking to a current WashU student: Basically there's a committee that looks at things like evals/attending recommendation/shelf exams, and makes a decision as to whether you pass with distinction or not. My friend says it doesn't really matter, except for those trying to match back to WashU/ match something competitive, where they try harder to get the "distinction". Edit: there's also no cap on how many people get a distinction

Yea! I reckon you stand a great chance matching something competitive without distinction coming from a program like WashU as well. Those I have talked to about the topic has basically told me not to worry about it.

 

[thundershock2513]

Im assuming that based on the prior trends, acceptance calls should be going out this Friday? From what I saw the calls went out the Friday before the following decision day.

 

[Bobby John]

Dr. Ratts Bobby John ? I call it Subaru. Where is Goro when you need him. LM score 75.

 

[neuroticism]

Does anyone know around what time they start calling for decisions?

 

[donaldduckfanatic]

Does anyone know around what time they start calling for decisions?

Its usually been after working hours on the first day of calling then throughout the day starting in the morning on the second

 

[Crunchyshrimpfries164]

Have decisions ever come out on a Tuesday/Wednesday for the last decision date?

 

[neuroticism]

My timbers are shivering 😵

 

[EchoNebula42]

Does anyone know roughly what percentage of As will have been sent out after the upcoming decision wave? Will it be most of it, or will there be more in the final one on April 15?

 

[RedDevilz99]

Pretty sure this wave is the last wave. Any acceptances sent after this might be for more unique circumstances, but I’m not 100% sure.

 

[bananasundae3]

Chat are we feeling tmrw?

 

[cbum]

lowkey

 

[EchoNebula42]

That's fair, I asked because on their website it says "April 15, 2025: LAST DAY by which we notify you whether you are Accepted, Not Accepted or offered a position on our Wait List".

But you're right, it doesn't sound like a noticeable number of As will be sent on that day, maybe just unique circumstances.

Well damn, I interviewed in Nov and thought it went well, then sent a LOI but I guess it's over now after this week :/

 

[TheDeadrok]

I’ve been waiting for them to toss me on a WL since October, just end the suffering already 🥺

 

[TIN25]

Same fam, put me out of my misery!

 

[Bobby John]

I received a call from Norton Lifelock. My SSN has been stolen 😞

 

[Crunchyshrimpfries164]

Any idea why decisions would come out today as opposed to Thursday/friday (as they have for other waves)?

 

[cbum]

Same bruh except its been since mid-September rip

 

[fda36502]

the dean said in her latest interview week session that decisions would be out before 3/6 for this last group

does this mean calls start going out on 3/6 or that they’d all have happened by then?

 

[ger1atric]

I specifically remember her saying before 3/6

In their slides, they said the final decision is BY 3/6/2025 not before.

 

[steerclear10]

deadlines are generally inclusive, and it's never over until it's over

 

[steerclear10]

Any idea why decisions would come out today as opposed to Thursday/friday (as they have for other waves)?

December decisions came out on Monday IIRC and calls were happening over the weekend

 

[puppyscats]

sorry if someone already mentioned this, but on the website/admissions timeline it says april 15th is the last day for an A, waitlist or R-- im confused what that is for if 3/6 is the last wave? is that just when R/WL comes out?

 

[dbz_gohan]

Portal has the last wave of decisions listed as 3/10. 3/6 is the anticipated date for the adcom review meeting based on how things have gone on the previous waves of decisions. So I would be really surprised if anyone heard anything before tomorrow. Obviously I can be wrong, but that's the pattern that's been observed so far. Portal release date is a Monday, and people who were accepted start hearing back the Thursday/Friday before.

 

[Bobby John]

Do you think the portal has something to do with the most recent severance episode?

What does that even mean also pls don’t spoil

 

[Bobby John]

I just thought like it was cold harbor or something. Don’t worry we will find out at 9 est tn 😎

 

[Bobby John]

Also I’m wondering if Angstrom Levy in the new Invincible episode is kinda of like Dr. Ratts. So upsetting when Rex-Splode died.

Did you really just post spoilers for the newest episode of a show on a premed forum? That’s very inconsiderate.

 

[Brownies_15]

good luck today everyone!

 

[thundershock2513]

Are calls today? I thought they were tomorrow

 

[legoss]

Are calls today? I thought they were tomorrow

people think they're today bc historically if the decision date was on a monday they'd do some calling on thursday and friday.
