2024-2025 Washington University in St. Louis

[dbz_gohan]

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.

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

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?

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

 

[secret-try]

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

 

[GM500]

The decision dates are posted under the 'Welcome' tab on the portal.

 

[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?

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]

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

 

[secret-try]

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

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

I think November interviewees will be considered for the 12/23 wave. According to last year’s SDN forum, an early December interviewee got the A during the December wave.

 

[PistachioSkies]

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

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!

Apologies if someone already covered it; are the calls more or less up to the discretion of the interviewers, and then formal emails come out on Monday?

Or, to the best of our current knowledge anyway

It sounds like the admissions deans are the ones calling rather than interviewers. So this would be a phone call to say “yay you got in!!!” and then your portal would update/official email comes out on Monday.

Sounds like they also do try to call everybody but the text on their website (“Most applicants receive a personal phone call…”) just covers their bases in case they can’t for whatever reason (or forget lol).

That being said, idk I don’t work there I just read a lot of forums bc I have nothing better to do w my time apparently 🤷‍

i was specifically told at my interview date that they would release their first wave on dec 19, but apparently others have been told dec 23rd?

I was told that as well, though the consensus seems to be that they changed it at some point.

I had a screencap of one of their presentations quoting the 19th, though the portal now shows the 23rd. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Mcatbro123]

Haha yeah my screenshot says the 17th so I think it changed multiple times

 

[legoss]

cycletrack reported an A? gg ig

 

[soccergirl1043]

Has anyone here heard today?

 

[PotatoBean]

It is what we're all waiting on

 

[legoss]

Someone joking around?

hopefully? i know i had to suppress my urges to screw w people a few times.

 

[secret-try]

tmrw it is

 

[skogkatt]

Tomorrow makes sense (it’s 5pm there now) but it would be a little funny if they decided not to call anybody at all this year

 

[soccergirl1043]

Do schools make evening acceptance calls or would they be during business hours?

 

[Gurububus]

I GOT ABCCLQLALALALLLLL!!

No idea, just got a call from my interviewer

 

[viking_lama]

OOS A! So excited!

 

[zarastars]

OOS A!!!!!!!!! cried on the call lmao. interviewed in september. no LOI or update letters. interviewer said i was an easy sell to the committee and idk if that's true or not but i’m soooo grateful

 

[zarastars]

I believe they are usually made during the work day

n=2, it's always been evening for me because it's been nonadministrative interviewers that have called me. so i think it depends on the school!
