I think things are slowing down now, I'd give it at least 2 weeks.

That's not true:

Summers: 90- 100+
Fall: 80-90 degrees
Winter: 70. cold.
Spring: 75-85

All you non-Canadians don't even know what Winter is. Except for maybe you, Minnesotan, you're pretty much the Canada of the US.

Do we need to accept the offer first and then place the deposit? When I check WashU admitted portal, it seems we do need to first say whether we accept the offer and then place the deposit~any suggestions?

It says on the accepted students site in the deposit area that you will get a refund up to May 1st, and if I recall correctly it said you have to decline in physical writing by that date for the refund. Check the site though.

This is relevant to my interests.

Also the first deposit is only $300 so if you pay it and then end up needing a refund, hopefully most of you will be ok without the $300 until you can get it back. Way better than places like GW with $1000+ deposits.

You pay the seat deposit through the admitted students portal, then you have through June or something to accept your scholly package.

Yes but he/she means that before you pay the deposit, you accept the offer of admission, which differs than the offer of monies.

I get in at STL at around 6am if anyone needs a lift anywhere. Preferably to a delicious breakfast spot.

People will withdraw. There's gonna be people that won't pay the first deposit, people that won't pay the second deposit, and people who will bail because they will get off the waitlist of some other school they'd rather attend. It ain't over til it's over.

Well it looks like I've got a solid start on a career as a WUSTL adcomm

thevuch · Post by **thevuch** » Tue Mar 25, 2014 11:55 pm

i swear in the admitted students portal where you go to pay the deposit it says its not refundable

amohiuddin · Post by **amohiuddin** » Tue Mar 25, 2014 11:56 pm

But it's getting awfully close, I got accepted at another school and the deposit is due in a couple of weeks. But I'm still waiting on WF, W&L and WUSTL. Any word on how I can standout? Thanks
