Just got a call for more merit money that freed up after PTE deadline

Wait just to clarify does this mean you already had like a partial merit offer and they called to give you more or what was the situation?

I had not received any merit aid, I was offered 75% tuition

 

[sphingolipid1]

I submitted a letter of interest (multiple throughout the cycle with updates embedded) but not a letter of intent. My portal updated after they called me.

Thank you! Most recent update/interest letter was April 12th. I had also sent updates in December and February

only 1 WL A reported?? do we know if they decide all WL acceptances on the same day or in increments?

 

[milkywayglass]

Someone who’s accepted and still in the Facebook / GroupMe chats, what’s the current number? Have any people left or joined in the past week?

Like 170-ish. A lot of movement, obviously, around May 1st and much less since then

Hard to judge how many people also just don't bother with GroupMe one way or the other

Yeah I think a lot of people forgot about it. The numbers are not reliable indicators because of this

I received a merit scholarship in early May. Probably funds freed up by a student PTEing elsewhere.

 

[TIN25]

+1 Waitlist Status email… I’m assuming this means nothing?

 

[Cuaker22]

+1 Waitlist Status email… I’m assuming this means nothing?

What did it say?

 

[TIN25]

What did it say?

To verify my waitlist status ( basically do I want to stay on the waitlist), and if WashU is my first choice to write a letter of interest or intent.

Thanks! Just got it as well.

 

[curlydoctor]

also got the email and I'm taking it to mean that they are planning to pull more from the WL soon. fingers crossed!

 

[BrainStorm12]

just as an FYI - a chunk of students were recently added to the groupme. unclear if these are all newly admitted/waitlisted or perhaps leftovers that were not added to the groupme before april 30th. i would assume waitlisted though

yeah looks like ~13 ppl just got added, likely from the waitlist

 

[deleted1158059]

Has there been any groupme movement?

 

[dennasdc]

Any reported As since they sent out the waitlist status email?

 

[YellowSalamander]

I don't believe anyone has been added recently, but some have left the groupme. Hang in there!

 

[sphingolipid1]

I got a call yesterday about a merit scholarship, so it looks like some things are still shuffling around

 

[curlydoctor]

I officially withdrew from the WL here. good luck yall!

Are you on the waitlist to receive this call?

 

[sphingolipid1]

Damn how much

~1/2 tuition!

 

[sphingolipid1]

I was accepted off the waitlist. My understanding is that everyone who is accepted is considered for merit and need based aid.

Looks like WL movement is pretty much over. Wanted to reach out to the school for app feedback though I'm still technically on the WL. Thoughts?

What makes you think it is over? I would think there could be another small wave sometime over the next couple of weeks.

 

[briankim163]

Based on last year's WL movement, and the report someone here posted that the adcoms said they would probably not need the WL much this year

 

[donaldduckfanatic]

Any movement recently??

 

[Crotchetlittlebuckets]

For those that have been accepted, how are you dealing with the atrocious $25k a year for living expenses? I don't think it's realistic at all and really need advice on what others are doing to live comfortably

Not accepted but, as long as you aren’t trying to live above your means ($1500+ luxury apartments), STL is a VERY affordable city. I lived very comfortably on $34k when I lived there. They’re giving you “living” expenses, not “living your best life” expenses. Mealprep at home, take the Metro when you can, classic budgeting stuff

 

[deleted1158059]

Is the class full?

 

[bananasundae3]

Received a full tuition merit scholarship last Friday!
