Visited recently and enjoyed it greatly. Anyone tried to get an extension on the April 1st deadline yet? Kind of throws a wrench in things seeing as some schools don't even negotiate till April 1st.

+1. I've been wondering if this is possible.

[vibius]

Yeah, was wondering about that. I have read that it is okay if you submitted deposits to more than one school. They aren't binding - although after a certain point schools may tell you to get off the fence. It should buy some time.

What's the typical acceptance-to-scholarship turnaround time?

+1, would be nice to not have to deposit quite yet.

Those of y'all attending the March ASW, are y'all doing anything else in STL while you're there? I was thinking about maybe going to the Blues v Canucks game on Friday, but I'm still not completely sure what the schedule is going to look like.

Went to a Blues game when I visited in the fall, would highly recommend. The fans are really uncreative with their chants (seriously, nothing other than "Let's go Blues"?), but it's a nice arena and the team is fun to watch. There are a couple good breweries near Scottrade, too, if you need some pregame activities.

I'll be at the ASW this week as well. Has there been any discussion about a possible TLS meetup type thing? Hockey seems chill.

CITY. MUSEUM.

Seriously. Do it. Don't think twice. City Museum is by far and away the best thing in St. Louis.

As a Blues fan, I approve of the game attendance idea.

Also, Scottrade is fun. The Blues are good. Tarasenko is a boss. And STL hockey fans are cool people. STL is definitely a baseball town, but there's definitely a niche for the Blues. The former Rams, not so much.

Withdrew yesterday.

If anyone is really unhappy/desperate with their scholarship, note that even after one "reconsideration," their admissions office responded to my withdrawal email by asking if they could reconsider me further for additional scholarship. I declined, but hopefully that's helpful.

Does anyone know the attire for the dinner reception? I'm just trying to decide whether I should pack a dress or jeans for it.

Didn't they say that everything is casual? I'm just bringing comfortable, slightly warm clothing.

As soon as they send out the schedule and we can see if we're free for the night or not, I'm buying tickets in the nosebleeds. Anyone who's interested in a TLS/WUSTL hockey outing send me a pm.

Also, OP, can we get a new poll?

"What is the proper spoken abbreviation of Washington University in St Louis?"
a. Wash U
b. WUSTL, pronounced like the word hustle, but with a W
c. WUSTL, pronounced "WOO-sle"

I don't think (b) exists, or I've certainly never heard it, but we can try it.

a. Wash U
b. WUSTL, (pronounced like the word hustle, but with a W)
c. WUSTL (like "Woo-stul")
d. WUSTL (like "wuss-tul")

This is the most I've received as far as scheduling:

Thursday, March 24
5:00pm-6:30 - Welcome Reception in the Janite Lee Reading Room

Friday, March 25
7:30am-8:00am - Early Morning 5K with the Fitness Club (optional)

9:00am-4:00pm - Admitted Students Events

4:00pm-6:00pm - Student Bar Association Happy Hour

Saturday, March 26
9:30am-11:00am - Diversity & Inclusion Event

*All events take place on Washington University’s Danforth Campus

Maybe we could grab a bite and/or hang around town or campus before thursday's reception. Also would love to bar hop or something friday night (mb after Blues' game?).

I think B is what I was thinking of when you put D.

Orrrrr grab a bite after the reception / post-up at a bar for some march madness?

Bummed I'm not going this weekend. Would've definitely been down to cross another NHL rink off the list.
