They aren't doing it this year. The Kira Talent email was an automated email they sent by accident. I've already emailed them, and they confirmed it is not being used for the 2025-2026 cycle.

Thank you! Kinda glad we don't have to do that lol

I just realized that WashU requires Calculus for their prerequistes. I only took several biostatistics courses. Has anyone every had luck getting this requirement waived?

Same here! Do you see any September dates on your end? I’m only seeing dates in October.

I have no available dates at all, I reached out to their email

Go to the October page and keep refreshing. You will see dates after a couple of refreshes. It will take a while (trust the process). Not sure if it's true for September as well.

Don't underestimate your chances. I have a few classmates who had MCAT scores in the 517-519 range, and was accepted in the first wave on full-tuition scholarships. If you were invited to interview this early, they are intrigued by you as an applicant.

I second this because I am one of said classmates.

Good luck everyone!

This has to be rage-bait lmao. No such thing as an “auto-interview” for a school like WUSTL lmao

wait is this true?? I was about to do my Kira survey tomorrow?

 

[hommefatale]

Has anyone else confirmed that Kira is not required? I trust that one poster, but just want to be sure before I mess anything up!

Good luck everyone!

Just hammering this home for everyone, also in this MCAT range with a below average gpa that was accepted in first wave with a yummy scholarship. If you get an interview, just go in and do your best! Something about you caught their eye

 

[pablopicarsehole]

Did anyone else get a email notification that a shipment from WashU had been shipped to you? From Brynka? I looked on the previous year’s thread from around this time and didn’t see anything about it.

Yes, I did get an interview invite.

 

[treasurehound44]

[mattpk]

What is WashU Wednesday?

 

[FuturePediatricNeurosurge]

What is WashU Wednesday?

Info session. To be invited is a great honor.

 

[medicinemajor]

Called the admissions office, the first WashU Wednesday is for everyone, subsequent ones are for those who are on the interview list.

 

[hommefatale]

FYI - first admission date is mid-December, they just mentioned on Zoom, with the final decision date being 3/16/2026

No issue! Didn’t mean anything by it. Thanks for the info and hope to see you at WashU Wednesday

 

[mattpk]

For anyone curious about the package, it is a bunch of informational brochures and a couple info letters!

 

[YellowSalamander]

Has anyone interviewed yet? If so, how did you feel it was? Was there a good vibe?

The faculty at WashU are some of the friendliest and kindest people I've come across. I can't think of a single faculty member I've interacted with who has not been welcoming, personable and supportive. Just be yourself and you will do great.

 

[xxcrafter]

Can anyone else not login to the portal?

does it say login not successful?`

[red_fox]

I also cannot

 

[dustycrusader]

The wording for these promo emails is diabolical: Reminder: Invitation for "Why WashU Wednesday"--Wed 9/24. My brain sees invitation in my email notif and gets excited 🙁

 

[pulsatilepony]

I also cannot

Had this happen on a few portals now. Had to "reset" my password (using quotes because I just entered my same password and the system took it as new)

Is anyone having an issue getting into the page for their video interviews? I'm interviewing this week, and I just noticed that when I click on the video interview tab, the page on which I signed for the terms and conditions has bugged out and won't let me move past it

The new data on the first year class just dropped. I know there were conversations about scholarships a while back, so hopefully this provides some better insight
