For those only almost but not completely broke, who's pumped for tomorrow's festivities?
Hells yeah. Packing up right now.

Did anyone receive confirmation that you had submitted your essay for the scholarships?
I got a very special phone call today, guys.
I believe they have a ranked list of the finalists and are offering scholarships starting today. I was so impressed by WashU and everyone I met this past weekend. I have been literally shaking all day, I am so excited! I hope I will be seeing you all (again!) in a few months!!!
(P.S. I really feel awkward telling people this stuff, especially a whole bunch of strangers on the not-so-anonymous internet, but you all have been so helpful with sharing information , and I know that I would have wanted to know as soon as someone had some notice.)

Congratulations! This should hopefully bring some clarity on the decision process for you.I got a very special phone call today, guys.

Congrats on the scholarship monday_best!
I'm sure we're all curious, which one did you get? How long did you get to make up your mind, even though it seems you've already decided?
ahhh... but the suites have their own bathrooms, and I'd definitely pick up a suite if I live in the dorm.

I've heard that the administration has been working on/considering capping the max debt that a grad will leave with (~$80k).
another current student here (ms3). i don't get loans but a fellow ms3 friend does. he got a letter earlier this year saying that his (and i'm assuming everyone who is currently in attendence) loans will be capped at ~80k. It apparently is retroactive, because he's definitely taken out more than that up to now. So the news looks like it's good financial aid-wise
Woah...so what does mean exactly? Does the rest get covered by grants? You think that this would be something that they would be pushing as a major plus in recruiting to currently accepted students such as myself. However, this is the first I've heard of it. I think I am going to call the financial aid office tomorrow and see how much validity there is to this and if it applies to every accepted student, or what kind of stipulations there might be. Any other info that others have on this would be very interesting to me. If I could graduate from WashU with only 80,000 in debt garaunteed, that would make up my mind (I am still choosing where I will go) and I will be in St. Louis in the fall.
The 80,000 cap is on need-based loans. Any other loans (such as those covering your EFC) are not included in that total.

Have some people still not heard anything, one way or the other, about the merit scholarships?
So I got my letter from WashU today...I was not accepted for a merit scholarship, but I am on the merit scholarship Alternate List. They will let me know by the end of May....I wonder how this works....can I still hold two spots then or do I have to just decide based on a maybe? Weird, I'm going to call them tomorrow and see what my options are.
Good luck everyone!
gopherthegold did they tell u anything about holding spots ie one school by may 15th if you are an alternate for a merit scholarship? i just got word today after getting a random letter a month ago saying i wasn't a finalist...go figure. perhaps this has something to do with the fact that i called to withdraw and they told me to wait it out and see til may 15th b/c i was an alternate...this was after i told them i had a full ride elsewhere and couldn't come to washu. what do u all make of this? i think it's complicating things wheni was just about to breathe easy.
hey everybody,
i'm still deciding b/t yale and wash u but, unfortunately, could not attend either of the second looks.
i'd love to hear people's impressions after wash u's second look and any input from current students:
i've heard that wash u has better clinical years (b/c of the quality of the hospital), but am a bit worried about its competitive reputation. the gradeless yale system sounds nice, but i'm a bit turned off by the thesis requirement.
i'm from st. louis, so i have no problem with wash u's location.
until this point i was leaning wash u, but i keep hearing wonderful things about the quality of life at yale...
any feedback would be really helpful -
thanks!
Hey all
This is probably directed towards the actual WUStL med students, but maybe one of y'all knows the answer. I'm in the process of shopping for a laptop for the fall, and was wondering if WUStL has any requirements or recommendations towards computers that would be helpful to know when deciding. Thanks...
