WUSTL c/o 2018 Applicants Forum

i'm not sure if things have changed (maybe the adcomm is interviewing everyone now) but being invited to interview is usually a good sign. But that doesn't mean it's a bad sign if u don't get one, i have friends who were admitted without being interviewed.

Seems like they're moving super fast this year giving out some requests within 24 hours. I heard they're aiming for like a 2 or 3 week turnaround time for applications this cycle.

Would that be for sure thing acceptances and denials only? I applied with a terrible gpa and was thinking I wouldn't hear anything for awhile unless its bad news.

What's your LSAT

... 164. I choked big time on RC when it came time for the real test

Honestly if you have a terrible GPA with a 164, I don't think your chances are too great.
WUSTL ended up asking a lot of people to defer from my cycle, and these were all people below both medians, so I think you either won't hear for a while or you'd be WL at best.

Hmm are you planning a retake? Is your GPA higher than 3.0?

No my gpa is in the dumpster from my first few years. Way up after joining the military, but couldn't dig out of the original hole. I thought about retaking but I don't have the time to study with work. I figured WL would be best case scenario, but application was free so I threw one in anyway.

Military may help, we'll see how it goes. GL.

Will GI bill be covering LS? Because I love washu, but washu at sticker is madness. If at all possible, you should consider retaking.

[DoveBodyWash]

Eh my GPA sucked too so I feel you. Even if u don't have time to study in earnest just try to take a practice test here and there and take it again if the registration fee isn't a barrier, they take your highest score anyway so worst case scenario you just keep your 164.

I dont think you'll be dinged outright, probably waitlist. 164 score isn't a bad score per se or anything, you'll have options even if wustl doesn't work out

Yeah Washu and SLU are both a pat of the yellow ribbon progam so they would be covered

[chuckbass]

FYI first acceptance just spotted on LSN.

Have you gotten an email!?!

would I have to withdraw my app and resubmit one with the new score if I did that? The registration fee isn't an issue, it is just time... and the fact I took 20 PTs and then still somehow blew the test.

Nope, no need to reapply. They'll get update with your new score.

Hopefully I get a decision soon lol

[navykev]

Well my status checker says they've made a decision and will email it out shortly. Fingers crossed!

Good to see another Navy person on here by the way!!!

Well my status checker says they've made a decision and will email it out shortly. Based on posts on here and LSN -- I am assuming denied or waitlisted since I haven't rec'd the email yet. Id take the waitlist as a victory considering my lsat is at the 25% level. Fingers crossed!

Good to see another Navy person on here by the way!!!

Mine has it as under review. *fingers crossed*

Phone interview Monday. A friend is going here and doing very well for job offers in the corporate world.
