Last year I don't believe there was an EA application at WUSTL. Good luck to all of you.lsltyf wrote:Does anyone know when EA decisions are communicated?

It's done by email. I got a rejection email from them literally 3 hours after I submitted my application, which was kind of ridiculous (I was #2 at a t3 and there were for sure no mistakes/bad answers re: character and fitness questions). People who got actually got in or at least serious consideration got their emails a bit later (I think somewhere around mid-april if I recall correctly). I applied there 2 years ago (the last time they had EA apps).lsltyf wrote:Does anyone know when EA decisions are communicated? I looked at the website at it said the first week of April.

Thanks for the info. Did you apply late? Did they ding you before the last day to submit?XxSpyKEx wrote:It's done by email.

Mine is complete since the beginning of March.luckyduck wrote:has anyone gone complete? I received an e-mail from admissions requesting my LORs. I sent when I got them (some weeks ago). Since then my status checker hasn't changed.

No prob. I applied at like 5AM the morning the application opened up. They dinged me about 3-4 hours later (around 8 or 9AM on the day applications opened up).lsltyf wrote:Thanks for the info.

WUSTL rejected you, but you got NYU? That just confirms transfer apps are ultra-strange.XxSpyKEx wrote:No prob. I applied at like 5AM the morning the application opened up. They dinged me about 3-4 hours later (around 8 or 9AM on the day applications opened up).
Good luck.

My status check email said, "Please be patient with our review process as we do not have rolling admissions" so I'm honestly not expecting my decision until early April.

Not sure where this NYU thing came in from. I didn’t transfer to NYU. I actually didn’t even apply there because I don’t want NYC. I don’t really want to say where I go to school, but I got into the best school I applied to. If I could go back and do it again, I would have applied to HYS because a kid at my t3 got into HLS (he was #1, but I think I would have had a fighting chance against him being at #2)... I'm just saying this to tell everyone that's applying from lower ranked schools to not sell themselves short and to apply to schools that they otherwise think is just not possible (assuming you have exceptional grades and think you can’t get into X school because of the USnews ranking of your current school)lsltyf wrote:No prob.

I wonder if you got dinged possibly from a system glitch since you applied at 5AM and the app opened up at 8AM that day. Seems a little odd you were rejected from WUSTL and were accepted at NYU. I feel like this was system glitch. Did you ever ask anyone at WUSTL about it?
It's all good.keg411 wrote:I don't know why I thought you went to NYU for some strange reason. That's my fault. Sorry!
Yup. Transferred to a school around the middle of the t13keg411 wrote:But you did transfer to a T14 and a school better-ranked than WUSTL, right?
