Yea they're going through things as quickly as possible I'm sure, but if this cycle is anything like the last there will be an increase in apps at the school, so they have quite a lot to get through. Good luck!

Thanks
She told me she'd get my file to the committee "ASAP" and I didn't hear back for nearly four weeks (admitted). I wouldn't worry too much. They're busy.

This is great news because I was very nervous about this and it's only been a few days. Glad I'm not the only one and it's not a sign of bad things.

Great news? Haha. I have other schools offering to interview me and asking me to rearrange my schedule and possibly fly down from Canada to visit campus and to meet with alumni. I can't plan any of that with this decision taking so long. They shouldn't overpromise.

Well not great that I have a wait in front of me but great in the sense that the silence on their end is not a result of a poor interview or anything I did.

Agreed. If they told you two weeks it should be two weeks. I wasn't told a specific timeline other than "ASAP" and that they generally make decisions on Wednesday and Friday. So hey, maybe today is your day.

I mean in this case you can email admissions and check in. Also I'm confused how an acceptance here would change your plans though, are you ED?

You all were told a few weeks? I had my interview on Tuesday and I was told that I should be hearing back in a few days, and the few days part was emphasized again in the follow up email.

A few days has been a hard wait so I can't imagine a few weeks. Ugh.

Very lucky. I just reread the follow-up email and I had nothing specified.

I'd imagine it's good. Relax and look over the first page of this thread for interview questions. Pretty relaxing interview. Congrats so far!

Then the interview should be even easier for you since it's basically Why WashU and STL.

I'm sure you will hear something really soon! I'm an undergraduate in MO (not at WashU of course), and I have a lot of Missouri related experience (legislature, etc), so that probably explains a little bit for me.

Just disappointed to not get scholarship info yet, as I was under the impression that some people had. That's going to be my real decision maker.

everyone's hearing stuff and I've been stuck at complete since 11/12 lol

chuckbass · Post by **chuckbass** » Fri Dec 05, 2014 7:23 pm

Don't worry, people haven't been getting money with the acceptances. Congrats doe!

cuboxing25 · Post by **cuboxing25** » Fri Dec 05, 2014 7:23 pm
