I really hope so as well. But a lot of people have received calls already and its the fourth wave... I was wondering if the next round is exclusively waitlists and rejections?

there’s a next round?! I was hoping to find out about WL or R tomorrow :/

From my understanding, this is effectively the final round. April 15 decisions are for WL and special circumstances.

 

[soccergirl1043]

Did anyone from this round of As get the portal update yet?

Did anyone from this round of As get the portal update yet?

Not yet

 

[niacinaketone]

I am just confused cuz last year WL came out on the fourth wave...

 

[milkywayglass]

Not yet

Is there still no portal update?

 

[frigophobiashift]

The decisions were released in the afternoon with the previous waves. I think I received my email around 2:30 - 3:00 pm ET.

For Feb 17th I think it was in the AM. Seems variable

Did your portal update and email come in around the time?

 

[dbz_gohan]

My stupid brain is trying to convince itself that my A call on Thursday was an implanted memory so I will let you all know when the portal/email update comes through for me as I have been checking in and refreshing my stuff about once every 20 minutes

 

[Crown-Jewel]

Mine didn’t update and I didn’t get the email. Looks like they may do WLs and Rs later. The wait goes on

 

[Crown-Jewel]

Wait I got an email that said I wasn’t accepted by they want to invite me to join their waitlist. Does that mean anyone can join the waitlist? I’m confused by the wording

 

[dbz_gohan]

Got an email. Portal updated.

+1, naturally came when I went out to lunch

+1 WL

what (most) schools do, is that they invite a select number of interviewees to join their WL, and reject the rest of the interviewees that were not accepted. historically, i think WashU WL almost everyone that wasnt accepted (please someone feel free to correct me, not 100% sure)

 

[ravioliravioli]

Also got the WL - I heard from the director of admissions that they only rejected "a handful" of people post interview, and WL everybody else.

 

[ravioliravioli]

Also does anybody understand what the "Waitlist Comments" are?

 

[Crown-Jewel]

So you’re saying their waitlist is like seven hundred people?

This also tracks from the cycletrack data from last year where a BUNCH of folks were waitlisted the day decisions were released

 

[blondemedgal]

+1 WL OOS. Seems like a lot of people just got waitlisted unfortunately

 

[ravioliravioli]

I would assume at least in the hundreds - likely a number of people decline due to already being accepted at other schools (wish it could be me lol)

 

[Malignwine]

+1 WL OOS. Also wish I could have declined. The thought of being on a multi-hundred person waitlist that is probably unranked seems torturous.

 

[contentlie868]

Haven't received any kind of email... does that mean R or are they still making decisions?

 

[fishypeeler]

+1 WL OOS

 

[dankmemes1]

What is this waitlist comments section for?

 

[youmatter:)]

+ 1 OOS WL, what are you guys putting for the comments?

 

[QuantumCatalyst]

+1 OOS WL

 

[Metaphysical Kestrel]

+1 IS WL

 

[frigophobiashift]

+1 OOS WL

 

[cassidy_grace2325]

+1 WL!! Congrats on those of you with As!! 🙂

 

[milkywayglass]

Do you guys think that the time of the WL email means anything? It looks like some people received the email earlier than others?

I personally just checked my email later in the day not sure about everyone else who's reporting

 

[brainrottt]

I got the WL email about an hour later than some of the other people that reported it. Not sure what it means though

 

[TheDeadrok]

+1 OOS WL
Not to be the bearer of bad news, but if this information from the AAMC is correct (which it probably isn't 100%) than it doesn't look great for the WL. Set your expectations low and be pleasantly surprised is what I would say! Hope you all get into an incredible school

I know of at least one person who was accepted from WL last year, so that can’t be accurate…

 

[ravioliravioli]

I would be cautious of that document in general. A lot of schools just don't submit any info to MSAR, and some submit info that is clearly wrong (i.e. I'm pretty sure Dartmouth or another school says they extend 10 WL offers but 20-40 acceptances from the WL, which makes no sense). There are lots of examples in previous WashU SDN threads of WL -> acceptance.

Nevertheless, I would definitely not hold out hope of getting off what I am pretty sure is a multi-hundred, unranked WL.

This process is truly terrible.

 

[skogkatt]

+1 WL, whateverrrrrrrr I guess

 

[p4th2g0a1s]

+1 INTL WL

 

[Cuaker22]

+1 OOS WL

 

[Cuaker22]

I assume this is where you can upload updates or LOI's but not sure

 

[gradientfactor]

Seeing the amount of WLs terrify me

 

[iwannabedoctor]

+1 OOS WL

The wait to find out about merit scholarships is killing me. Does anyone have any updates on scholarships?

 

[AnAccount]

Kind of a stretch (and definitely IDing myself), but anyone here ever successfully complete a COSFA appeal?

 

[Mangoenthusiast]

The wait to find out about merit scholarships is killing me. Does anyone have any updates on scholarships?

Last year another wave of scholarships came out on April 1st … idk if they are doing things differently this year though

 

[mooglypoogly]

Emailed admissions and they said next wave of scholarships should be mid to late March, hang in there gangy

 

[niacinaketone]

Does everyone get a waitlist or have people still not heard from WashU?

 

[deer123414]

WashU waitlists everybody post interview it seems from previous threads that's just how they do it

 

[Dre Barlow]

Are you guys (accepted students) going to the second look weekend?

 

[Terminator1134]

I can’t go otherwise I would.

I'm planning on going. I'm local but would like to meet potential incoming classmates!
