I didn’t know that, that’s great!

 

[deleted1200309]

This has been the case for many years, so I imagine it is still the case this year!

WashU is famous for interviewing nearly everyone with a high MCAT score. It’s also why they have a low post-interview acceptance rate.

That would explain their yield once As go out. Students might say why midwest when NYC,CA etc w/e

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

I didn’t know that, that’s great!

Last year it was their largest wave too!

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

any other schools that have huge waves in Dec? ill check rn on the site but just in case I miss one that you know since you seem knowledgeable

Cornell tends to have some large waves in December!

Harvard had a large January wave last year!

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

do people actually get in off those waves though? maybe I'm wrong but I feel that late the person is prob interviewing for a WL spot unless they have the greatest interview of all time.

it's ok if you don't have the answer i'm just throwing my thoughts out there

Can’t speak on WashU but Harvard and Cornell are both non-rolling. Based on how Mayo works (another non-rolling school), they score your application and acceptances are made to the top x% of scorers, regardless of when you interviewed!

I don't remember the number of words but I had like 3-4 paragraphs or so. I did spend some time kind of reordering things so it made more sense though. I know whoever sees my videos is going to laugh though. Pro tip for people who haven't done the Kira yet: drink your water earlier in your "think time" and not 10 seconds before you need to record your response

lol these asynchronous MMIs are not my strong suit, but thanks for the good info!

I attended the Dean's Greeting on 10/22 for MD interviewees, the decision dates on the slideshow were 12/23, 1/20, 2/17, and 3/20.

I’m interviewing on 12/18. Does anyone know if I’ll be considered for the 12/23 acceptance round or just the later ones?

Define high MCAT for WashU lol

 

[alehernan017]

Well... that SVI was something alright

 

[hdma98]

Has anyone received the WashU Interview Experience Survey email after your interview? Does it mean they have finished reviewing your application after the interview, or is it just a routine step? Thank you.

just a routine step

 

[cbum]

So there aren’t Post-II rejections?

They send both waitlists and rejections in the final wave in March, they don't do any rejections before then. Some acceptances are also sent in the final wave in March too

 

[hdma98]

just a routine step

Thank you for letting me know!

 

[MikoMiko9]

I have received rejection email few mins ago.
Good luck everyone.

Hey guys! Any recent interviewees know the anticipated dates of acceptances? I saw different dates posted on here before mine in mid-november and was waiting to see what would be written during my session but no exact dates were given and it just said december.

12/23, 1/20 (MSTP heavy), 2/17, and 3/10 I think. Confident on the first three dates I listed, I'm pretty sure the last/final status date is going to be sometime that second week of March.

 

[cassidy_grace2325]

Will everyone hear back on these dates, even if it's a "deferred"?

[dbz_gohan]

No, I believe only accepted students will hear back on the dates before 3/10. 3/10 is when final decisions on applicants would come out including As, WLs, and Rs.

FWIW this was listed in one of their information sessions:

when was this?

 

[PotatoBean]

One of their information sessions; I didn't write down the date when I copied it but I think a month or two ago.

 

[cbum]

I interviewed in September and had 12/19, 1/16 (MSTP heavy), 2/13, 3/6 as the notification dates on the dean's information session, but apparently in later interview days they changed it to 12/23, 1/20 (MSTP heavy), ......... so they must've pushed back their notification dates slightly because I would assume the most recent informationals are the most accurate

 

[banananabread]

if not accepted in the first wave, does that mean you've been waitlisted/rejected or do you still have a chance in the next waves?

 

[Hanamichi]

They said u'll be considered at each decision date and that waitlists are only official when released in March.

thank you! good luck all!

I wonder if the admissions office will start making A calls this week like they did last year

 

[deleted1116227]

has anyone verified whether it'll be the 19th or 23rd?

 

[donaldduckfanatic]

has anyone verified whether it'll be the 19th or 23rd?

the admissions portal says 23rd, but i saw that last year it said 26th and people received calls on the 21st so i dont think its a very strict date

 

[cbum]

the admissions portal says 23rd, but i saw that last year it said 26th and people received calls on the 21st so i dont think its a very strict date

23rd may be the "official" date that we receive the email and the Deans could give us the calls a few days earlier - that would be in line with previous years

[THEGOAT1]

[PotatoBean]

Not a Season's Greeting email, my God

 

[alhazenmanawi]

+1 Happy Holidays and warm wishes for the New Year

 

[ch3cocoo]

The happy holidays email has activated the insane overanalysis center of my brain

 

[iloveharvard]

Anyone didn't receive happy holiday email?😍

 

[Chickenpotpiesoup]

Does anyone have a sense of whether November interviewees might hear back with this wave/how they do their cutoffs? How quick is their turnaround?

 

[RunnerDad]

If they really had a sense of humor, the holiday greeting would be signed by Art the Clown

 

[PistachioSkies]

someone in reddit was saying they are done with interviews invites for the rest of the year?

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

Definitely not! Direct them to the cycletrack page. Last year, their single biggest interview wave of the entire cycle was on the same day they released acceptances:

 

[TIN25]

Hi All,
Happy Holidays! Any idea when they would start calling folks for the 12/23 release date?

 

[skogkatt]

Looking at past years it looks like they started calling Thursday/Friday! Specifically around 4pm central time-ish.

I’m neurotic asf and literally been on the edge of my seat since yesterday… hopeful and best of luck to everybody!
