Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) (2025-2026)

[mental lintel]

So my schdule was a luh easaier

[junior owl]

Very holistic frfr I have no APs and the highest math I took was precalc at my high school and they didn’t hold it against me lol

[mental lintel]

After freshman year I got scared away from ap histories

[unique creek]

ayyy thats pretty good

[mental lintel]

I took calc bc stats and highest math

[unique creek]

ohh ok! do you mind sharing your gpa?

my weak point is honestly the gpa

[mental lintel]

and duel credit for higheste ng

[mental lintel]

Im applying with 3.73 uw 4.14 w but also my last b was in sophomore year and i had straight a's ever sdince

So i may be playing a game with poor odds here

[unique creek]

hmm technically low income does give an advantage, plus theyd have lower expectations bc you have extruiniating circumstances

[junior owl]

3.89 or 3.92 UW and a 4.012 W I believe but I honestly don’t remember lol

[unique creek]

nobody would hold that against you

ohh ok

[junior owl]

I was test optional tho

[mental lintel]

Hopefully my calc bc rec letter helps me

All my rec letters are math teachers idk if its a bad thing or nto

[junior owl]

Nahhh as long as it was a bangin rec letter im sure they don’t care

[weak forge]

I’ll cry if I don’t get NYU

[unique creek]

wait can you dm me link

i dont think this counts as portal astro if it was an entire decision no?

[mellow sluice]

i doubt it’s real

[mental lintel]

Our school has like these awards for each grade for top 1 student in each subject

And the entire department decides on it

I got it and there are genuine cracked kids in that calss so i think he liked me

[junior owl]

No Portal Astro pleaseee

[mellow sluice]

oops i forgot

[junior owl]

Periodddd

[junior owl]

No you’re all good!

[mental lintel]

I dont thijk portal astro works for washu

I thought theyw ere one of the more secretive ones

[unique creek]

genq why can we not discuss portal astro here?

it can work for selective places considering it did for uc berkeley last year as every admitted student had a created account for them

[junior owl]

Leads to speculation and more worry in the long run 🙂‍↕️

[mental lintel]

most of the time its banter and contributes nothing

[unique creek]

ahhh ok

ig its like a fear mongering thing

its kinda fun tho

[mental lintel]

I feel like that doesnt fall undfer portal astro but like logisitcal slip up

[unique creek]

its fine if youre a stem major!

but like obviously this would be strange if youre a humanities major

[unique creek]

ooh ok yeah, it was patched anyways

[junior owl]

Yeah its understandable and in theory it could be fun to look for “clues” but I know for at least myself it would scare the sh out of me if there was something weird that I didn’t have which would just lead to more anxiety… which we’re trying to avoid lol

[unique creek]

ooh ok ty for explaining!

im worried since they stopped sending out promotional content after i applied, but thats prolly most colleges

[mental lintel]

i keep getting emails from cwru

not telling me to apply but jsut glazing the school

idk if its a good sign

[junior owl]

Lol that’s real

[unique creek]

case western? me too

i think they send it out to everyone but im unsure….they even went so far as to cc my parents and spam them in every single email

cwru promotes a lot

[mental lintel]

yea

[tepid onyx]

Finearts +
beyond boundaries program

[olive kite]

Economics + Beyond Boundaries

[unique creek]

ooh best of luck!

[unique creek]

since its less than a week from decisions, do you guys think they've already decided it for every applicant?

i wanted to add additional information but was worried they already made a decision and wouldnt see it 🤔 or would they get a notification?

i did it just in case but now ive sent 3 updates so far and im worried it will annoy them and hurt my chances 😭

[mental lintel]

probably

[shadow juniper]

I think it js depends as long as it’s acc good and important updates then sure but i doubt it would hurt even if it wasnt

[junior owl]

I talked to an admissions counselor today and they said they’re done with ED2 ! They were talking about how they still need to lock in on RD tho lol

[supple totem]

I hope they take me in

[tepid onyx]

oh mygod

they already read my application??

[shadow juniper]

omg i’m so nervous i can’t tel if i wanna see my decision or not

[junior owl]

Good luck everyone!

[unique creek]

ayyyy nice!!

what time did decisions release for ed1?

im hoping decisions for us are around 1-2 pst so i can open w my friends nyu ed 2

[junior owl]

Ummm not sure about what time ed1 came out around 4:30pm CST and last year ED2 came out at 4:39pm CST for me!!

Sooo I’m guessing it’s somewhere in that sphere!!

[shadow juniper]

when my sis got in they paid for her flight and hotel room to attend admitted students day in hoping in case I get in they still do that

[rapid reef]

do y'all know when signature scholars program interviews will come out?

[desert radish]

They have interviews?

[rapid reef]

yes

[unique creek]

thank you for the info!

[fading dragon]

Hello guys, when is the decision?

[shadow juniper]

probably 5:30 to 6 pm est

[tough pelican]

i want that rejection already damn

[desert radish]

Good luck to those of yall applying ED2 (i applied RD 😭)

[tepid onyx]

we got this ED2 lads

[shadow juniper]

Guys on slate it says this i’m praying it means ANYTHING 😭

gonna google wait awaiting confirmation may mean

[desert radish]

Looks like it just means a decision has been made

[shadow juniper]

Yess i’m hoping the awaiting confirmation means smth compared to js the usual decided it shows

[junior owl]

GL everyone! I’m going to be near my phone all day today if anyone has any questions and/or concerns!

[sleek tusk]

What time is it supposed to come out?

[teal ivy]

When it comes out ping Bella to run the poll and ping

[unique creek]

[shadow juniper]

U are getting in go in with that mindset!

WE ARE ALL GETTING IN

[unique creek]

AYYYY WE GOT THIS

BEAR DOWN

[cedar gust]

🤞🏻

[unique creek]

8mins….

[cedar gust]

[shadow juniper]

idk i’m too scared to open and check can yall say if it’s out?

[unique creek]

yeah i got rejected

:(

i ahd a feeling

[cedar gust]

rej...

not even a waitlist is crazy

[unique creek]

guys is there an appeal system for decisions

[shadow juniper]

IMSHAKING

[unique creek]

ayyy cgs to everyone who got in

[junior owl]

WashU ED2 out! vote in poll @everyone

Congrats everyone that got in! and for those who got rejected don't let it get you down! I know it's constantly said but rejection truly is just redirection, this is not an end all be all there are tons of oppurtunites just waiting behind the next door.

And if anyone has any questions don't be afraid to reach out! ❤️

[mental lintel]

I got in

thank you to everyone in this server

[shadow juniper]

im very surprised I have pretty low stats imposter syndrome is crazy rn

[mental lintel]

I don’t really care anymore this acceptance jusf set my life towards an upward trajectory

My family makes nothing a year

[unique creek]

im not totally sad abt the rejection but..im just confused since my stats were above theri avrg applicants

i had a 1560 + 3.9 and i felt super good abt ecs and awards

but my essays were mid. i think thats why i got rejected

i really wish they could tell you why you got rejected

to everyone else, i still think that washu is a great school and youll definitely have a fun time there! i still love washu and im hoping i can make this up by getting into their law school :,)

[shadow juniper]

sooo proud of you 🥺

[sour halo]

Yeah stats cannot drag up mid essays

I had a 1590 4 and got straight rej from pton

You’re probably going to a better school RD

[unique creek]

i appreciate it

[shadow juniper]

I think with such good stats tho u still have a good shot at other top schools anything is possible. I had a 3.5 UW and test optional and got in so it truly js depends what they are looking for to fit their quota.

[rapid reef]

Congrats everyone! I hope I get in rd lol

[unique creek]

im happy for everyone else

[unique creek]

yeahh thank you! and congratulations

[rapid reef]

I’ve felt the same way with my past 2 rejections. But dw good things are to come

[mental lintel]

congrats

[unique creek]

guys does washu have an appeal system for ppl who got rejected?

i want to appeal this 😢

[desert radish]

Same

[shadow juniper]

Not sure, but it wouldn’t hurt to just send an email over!

[unique creek]

ill try then, thank you!!

ah nvm i did my research and theres no process for it. ill js leave it be and wait for rd then

part of the reason why i loved washu was cuz i loved the christmassy colors 💔 im going to become the grinch now

[mental lintel]

i think im done with this server

it helped a lot but it also brougjt stress

thanks to everyone

[tepid onyx]

Got rejected

honestly surprised

[fading vapor]

yayyy new bears

[unique creek]

everyone pls dm me bad things abt washu if you know them and slander the uni like crazy so i feel better

dm me terrible terrible things!!!’ 😡😡😡😡😡😡

[cedar gust]

i heard the students there never shower. that's why the school is called "Wash U"

allegedly

[shadow juniper]

LMAOOOO

[cedar gust]

weird tradition btw

[knotty wave]

people who step on the seal graduate weirdly

[junior owl]

[shadow juniper]

[mossy cloud]

[rapid reef]

[mossy cloud]

were there any prior contacts (like semifinalist notifications) or is this like the first update?

[rapid reef]

this should be the 1st update

i saw ppl were getting them later last year so maybe its rolling idk

[mossy cloud]

ah ight, best of luck!! Really hope we both hear back from either Robertson or one of these 😭🤞

Might be deluded but ima sleep w/ dnd off just in case

[rapid reef]

Thank you! good luck to you as well 😭 I really hope so too

[dense prawn]

[junior owl]

Ofc ofc!

Also a few friends and I have started a discord to answer questions and such for admitted students if anyone wants to join!

[iron bay]

Did anyone else get Danforth finalist?

[zenith dune]

Any idea if international students also recieve calls if selected as finalist? or is that done through email?

[rapid reef]

everything should be through call

[rapid reef]

did u get it?

[iron bay]

Yeah

I didn’t even know calls were coming out for it I lowkey forgot I applied to it😭

[rapid reef]

thats aura

is today the only day??

[shadow juniper]

I’d love to if I could get the link!

[inland igloo]

dyk if ampersand awardees got calls?

[dense prawn]

Ahh congrats :)

[hallow mural]

had a dream last night where i got accepted and then they sent me an email saying they made a mistake and i actually got rejected

[supple totem]

What the fuck😭

[icy pelican]

Does anyone know roughly when acceptce packages for ED2 start shiping out? I'm just curious

[inland igloo]

Someone on a2c said their friend called admissions and was told all scholarships would be notified by tomorrow

So take that with however many grains of salt

Anecdotally I’m only seeing Danforth scholar finalists on a2c, r/washu, and here

[rapid reef]

i saw like 2 ppl got rodriguez and 1 for ervin on r/a2c

[rapid reef]

if we don't get an invite will they let us know?

[inland igloo]

i'd assume not

[dense prawn]

wait r they on the disc or js the subreddit

[dense prawn]

they'll send an email out

[rapid reef]

subreddit

i like scavenged through r/applyingtocollege 😭

[shadow juniper]

Ik I want mine soo bad 😞

[narrow swift]

what is acceptence package?

[narrow swift]

can i join?

[teal crown]

has anyone gotten scholarship email yet?

[rapid reef]

i think the scholarship email is just a rejection

[shadow juniper]

no clue but I got my physical letter and stickers and a mini book in the mail today ab my acceptance

I saw on TikTok a girl got hers in april so

[iron bay]

I just got mine about an hour ago

[teal crown]

call or email?

[iron bay]

I got my email today and call on Sunday

[arctic sparrow]

I guess that’s a rejection, right ?

Applied RD

[desert radish]

Bro i also got rejected from the scholarships

No more chance of a full ride ig

Unless i get ampersand (which is unlikely)

[arctic sparrow]

Did anyone get rejected from scholarships but still get financial aid ?

Like in last year or something

[desert radish]

Just rejected from scholarships, u can still get in and get need based aid rho

[iron bay]

Does anyone know how many finalists there usually are and how many people actually get the scholarships?

[rapid reef]

What do they look for ampersand?

Oh nvm I found it on their website

[inland igloo]

Ampersand is notified by end of fev

*feb

So ig we’ll see.

[rapid reef]

They said early March in the email

[lyric wind]

I got the same email. Is this a rejection for the scholarship?

[rapid reef]

yes its a rejection for the scholarship

[narrow swift]

im international. I couldn't submit Fafsa or aid. Can I still request for need-based aid?

[desert radish]

Isnt there another financial aid app for internationals?

[lyric wind]

Oh i see, okay thanks

[inland igloo]

For ampersand?

[rapid reef]

Yes

At the end of the email

[dense prawn]

dm me!

[inland igloo]

if you're okay w/ it, could you dm me the pic of the part of the email where it says it?

[olive kite]

I really wanted to go here. At least I tried

[fading vapor]

me but I’m co’28

by scholarships u mean the scholar programs right ?

[arctic sparrow]

I mean the 3 scholarships that we can apply to on the Common App and for which we write supplemental essays.

[fading vapor]

Wait yea I didn’t get in and was still able call my financial advisor and talk about my aid

[desert radish]

If an RD applicant gets ampersand, do they get their decision earlier?

[inland igloo]

email sent out after specialized scholarships suggests it'll be earlier in march, yeah

but I'm not holding my breath

[icy pelican]

Hey, to all my fellow ED2 admits, have y’all received your acceptance package yet (like the box not the letter) because they said it would ship “soon” online and I think we’re approaching a moratorium on soon

[mental mesa]

helo

last year RD when did WashU RD come out

[teal ivy]

https://applyingto.college/decision-calendar/class-of-2029

[desert radish]

Was it early?

[teal ivy]

Wdym

[desert radish]

When it came out last yr do u remember if it was earlier than the original set decision date?

[teal ivy]

Idk

[inland igloo]

guys are WE all getting ampersand scholarship

:son:

[desert radish]

WE ARE ALL GETTING AMPERSAND

WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GET AMPERSAND

[inland igloo]

looks like Ampersand is out

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1rmtcry/washu_ampersand_scholarship/

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1rmtvle/wash_u_ampersand_scholar/

[naive smelt]

When do yall think rd comes out

[autumn cradle]

march 13th

[desert radish]

Im actually a little sad i didnt get ampersand or any of the merit scholarships

[rocky jay]

oh dear...

[subtle chasm]

march 12th

[desert radish]

when will they send the email out for when they're coming out

[rotund dagger]

What time do they usually do it

[desert radish]

I think my friend who applied ED got it at like 5pm CT

I think they say in the email tho

[rotund dagger]

Hmm alright

Thanks

[inland igloo]

ik it's really dumb to be sad over ampersand b/c like 20 people get it, so there's more or less 0% chance

but idk it's a little sad

i'm not like heartbroken

[hallow mural]

i searched it up and 💀

[hallow mural]

https://www.tiktok.com/@washuadmissions/video/6807896212583337222

[fluid swift]

[grand dawn]

Should come out Tuesday

Like the email stating that it’ll come out Thursday

[young tinsel]

[desert radish]

[wise copper]

[desert radish]

Mb by april 1st but we speculate it maybe sometime this week

They'll email tho

[tranquil heath]

it came out second thursday last year right

i think we'll know when decisions come today

[grand dawn]

Yes

Hopefully

2024 it came out on the third Thursday

[grand dawn]

I don’t think it’s coming out on Thursday

[foggy snow]

But hasnt it been the second thursday for like two years

😔😔😔😔 washu please i need you

[desert radish]

please washu send decisions (our acceptances) out this thursday

(and also give us a lot of aid)

[mellow sluice]

no

• march 13, 2025 (early)
• march 20, 2024
• march 23, 2023
• march 24, 2022
• march 24, 2021
• march 12, 2020 (early)

[grand dawn]

Most likely it’s coming out next week Thursday

[mellow sluice]

i agree cuz last year they sent the email with decision day 2 days in advance

[foggy snow]

thank you for compiling the dates together!!

[mellow sluice]

ofc!

[desert radish]

ugh i hope theyre just sending the email late and its this thursday i dont want hopkins and washu to be back to back

[grand dawn]

if they don’t send out the email today then yep it’s next Thursday

[grand dawn]

Yeah i doubt they’re sending emails at 7pm

Usually during school time hours they email 🤷

[left drum]

😭 so it’s not coming out tomorrow 🥀

[grand dawn]

it’s possible.. but I highly doubt it

[desert radish]

Is it always a thursday?

[grand dawn]

Yes

[restive zenith]

have they always released an email confirming a decision date two days prior ?

if not it could very well be tomorrow

[fair kayak]

What time would it come out

[mental mesa]

no email from WashU yet

what do we expect

[warped ibex]

i think maybe it will come out next week

[desert radish]

Ppl on reddit called admissions and they said april 1st but if not they'll email b4 decisions

[faint lava]

this is hell wtf april 1st imma already commit before then to another school

[desert radish]

I think itll prob come out next wk

But thats just my thoughts

[desert radish]

why

[rapid reef]

I thought it was "by" april 1st and usually comes out a few days earlier?

[desert radish]

Usually but ig they arent revealing when yet

[snow edge]

so guys what do we think

[rapid reef]

prolly gonna come out on teh 20th

[fair kayak]

That I’m getting into washu

[iron turtle]

any chances it comes out tofay?

[rocky jay]

yeah but probably gonna be the 20th

[iron turtle]

soo many decisions on 20th 😭

[glossy gate]

[rapid reef]

[lucid crest]

[snow edge]

[mental mesa]

[untold flame]

i was thinking might be tdy

but idk

[teal wind]

ppl said 12th but

it didnt come out

[rapid reef]

I'm losing hope bc ppl on a2c reddit said they called and washu said april 1st

i hope its gonna be the 20th

[untold flame]

😭

when was it alst year

[rapid reef]

i think it was like supposed to be thurs or friday last year

[teal wind]

april 1st is just

what they have to say

policy wise

if its not this friday its prob next friday

[rapid reef]

yeah im thinking the 20th

[untold flame]

last years class got it tdy

[rapid reef]

yeah but they'll usually send an email a week in advance b4 it releases

so if we get an email today it'll be on the 20th

[untold flame]

😭

[hearty smelt]

is there a possibility of cmg out today

[rapid reef]

No

[autumn cradle]

it released on thursday last yr.

[tranquil heath]

yup

one week

[weary shell]

Isn’t it confirmed now?

[supple totem]

confirmed

@teal ivy

You got in

[weary shell]

Is your pfp what I think it is

😭

I know it is

😭

[rapid reef]

Hey at least it’s not April 1st

That’s a positive

[mossy cloud]

Same day as lac day

Im gonna have a billion decisions that day wtf

[static harness]

how cooked is it if you dont do the optional supps

[lucid crest]

I didn’t do the video 😭

[static harness]

i didnt do the optional written essay i just did the video but it was rly bad

[lucid crest]

oof

I’m the other way around

[static harness]

ur probably better off ngl😭

[lucid crest]

washu takes like 20-25 ppl from my school every year

hopefully this means I’m ok

my dad works there too

[static harness]

do u live in stl?

[lucid crest]

yeah

[static harness]

oh

wait that should have been rly obvious with ur dad working there

[lucid crest]

💀

[static harness]

i'm in az but our state admissions counselor does a college visit for us and gives a rly good presentation so i think a lot of people applied from my school

[lucid crest]

very cool

do u know how many ppl get in to washu from ur school every year

[static harness]

i'm not suree ppl arent crazy open abt college results so I usually only know someone got in somewhere if they commit😭 and we didnt have any washu commits last year

[lucid crest]

my school had 17 commits last yr 😭

[static harness]

wow😭

[lucid crest]

I js hope to get in along with the ~10 other ppl that’ll get in rd

[static harness]

best of luck!!

[lucid crest]

thank you!

[hallow mural]

does washu care about demonstrated interest

im seeing conflicting info online

[shadow juniper]

Check the common data set usually it’ll let u know

[lucid crest]

looks like it’s considered

[hallow mural]

ok but like. northwestern’s says considered when they don’t actually factor it into their decision. and for washu there’s articles saying they stopped considering it, although they’re from years ago. so im wondering if it matters for admissions or if they’re just collecting data for marketing

im also talking about stuff like visits, not supps

[restive zenith]

i think most colleges prefer you to "demonstrate interest" with a vast knowledge of their programs—which you do specifically in your essays
or writing optional ones
and in the case of WashU completing the video

[boreal plinth]

oh wait how much does the video actually matter for washu?

when the ao was visiting our school he basically said its genuinely pretty optional

[restive zenith]

i did a glimpse video

[hallow mural]

well yes but i was wondering about things like visits and stuff like that

[restive zenith]

honestly im not sure i think its just another way they can evaluate your personality

[lucid crest]

so I have a chance, even without the video?

[restive zenith]

bro no one knoews the answer to that
but logically merely visiting or virtual tours are bullshit tbh
u learn more from talking to ppl or going on program pages

[restive zenith]

idk prolly

[grand dawn]

how important is this video for washu?

I don’t even remember it being an option on the common app

[hallow mural]

some schools are notorious for valuing things like that but ig for most schools it’s just a small thing

im just asking a question is all

[restive zenith]

bro washU is top 20
most schools in the top 30 dont care if u visit

[hallow mural]

well yes i agree

[restive zenith]

its in the portal bro

[boreal plinth]

honestly idk shit im a junior but i vividly remember the ao saying a number (50+% for sure) of recent admits didnt do the vid

[restive zenith]

if u had good supps and did the video u did everything u could
now just wait for the 20th

[boreal plinth]

so i think prob doesnt make or break by any means (?)

[hallow mural]

i know people who haven’t done the vid and gotten in

i didnt do it since i didn’t rlly have anything to say

[lucid crest]

me neither

[restive zenith]

wdym

[boreal plinth]

mood

[rocky jay]

i didnt know there was a vid until it was too late 😭

its okay...

[median jasper]

i did the video it wasnt the greatest

it was cute tho imo

also omg punisher

i streamted that album 4x today

[hallow mural]

yesss

so many punisher fans in this server i feel

you’re like the 6th person to mention ts lmao

[rocky jay]

its a pretty good album!

[median jasper]

yess i fucking love phoebe omg

[hallow mural]

it is!

not sure if phoebe will top it

love her songwriting tho

[foggy snow]

washu on 20th!!

confirmed by email yipee

[median jasper]

yeppppp!

[lucid crest]

yeah i rlly hope I get in

[median jasper]

glgl same 😭

[lucid crest]

hopefully going to a washu feeder helps me 😭

[rapid reef]

Ladue

[lucid crest]

yep

[rapid reef]

Ur set lol

[desert radish]

LMAO i was gonna guess that

[lucid crest]

is ladue the only washu feeder school or smth 😭

[rocky jay]

i need washu so bad.......

[desert radish]

its one of the better public schools in stl

[lucid crest]

yeah

literally ranked no 1 in niche for Missouri public schools

[desert radish]

I think burroughs is the no 1 private here

Its also one of the best in the country i think

i dont go there th

[lucid crest]

yeah

micds is also good

[desert radish]

yeah

[rapid reef]

Is Clayton a feeder

[rapid reef]

St. Louis is cracked

[lucid crest]

[rapid reef]

[rapid reef]

I live in a big Texas city now tho

[lucid crest]

I’m in Texas rn lol

[rapid reef]

Wait W

Dallas

[rapid reef]

Damn bruh our break is over

[lucid crest]

our break just started

stressful waiting for washu

[desert radish]

real

it's literally coming out when im at a school event

[lucid crest]

it’s coming out at the end of my break

[hallow mural]

my break starts after all my decisions 😭

[rapid reef]

Did u do JHU

[rapid reef]

Lmao same I have a tennis tournament ☠️☠️

[lucid crest]

not me

[left drum]

same 😭

[lucid crest]

all I wish for is the feeder effect to bless me

[outer flower]

when is WashU dropping again

[rapid reef]

friday

[outer flower]

what time

[rapid reef]

they just said evening 😭 prolly around 5-6 pm

[lucid crest]

I think they released it at 4:30 pm last time

[rapid reef]

did a lotta ppl at ur school ed and ed2

[lucid crest]

not too much

usually around 15-20 ppl ed

and around 10 get in Ed

and an additional 10-15 get in thru rd

[rapid reef]

interesting

do most ppl like ed and rea top schools

[lucid crest]

yeah

3 ppl got into Stanford rea from my school

[desert radish]

4:30 ct right?

[lucid crest]

2 got into mit ea

[lucid crest]

I think so

2 Yale rea

[foggy snow]

danggggg

i wish I went to a competitive high school

[rapid reef]

dayum ladue is cracked

[lucid crest]

we are the no 1 public high school in Missouri

[rapid reef]

yeah lmao

[foggy snow]

lmaoooo hi

[rapid reef]

my school is like borderline top 100 on us news but its a small school

[lucid crest]

at least those ppl won’t be in my applicant pool

[rapid reef]

hi ur doing washu too lmao

same schools

[lucid crest]

hopefully making it a better chance for me

[foggy snow]

🙏 washu pls i need u aswell

[rapid reef]

i need every school

LMAO

[foggy snow]

me when i simultaneously cheat on every school with every school

[lucid crest]

I need every school

but esp washu

Cus everyone top from ladue who doesn’t go to a hypsm/ivy goes there

[rapid reef]

every school is a dream school type beat

[rapid reef]

makes sense washu is very popular in missouri

[lucid crest]

yeah

I don’t think it’s as well known outside of the state

[rapid reef]

bro did they already decide ampersand scholars?

[lucid crest]

I think they did

[rapid reef]

yeah but in texas at my school hella ppl applied

bc they wanted signautre scholars

[lucid crest]

seen ppl on reddit already getting called about it

[rapid reef]

are there any other merit opportunities automatically considered with decision?

[rapid reef]

rip im cooked

[lucid crest]

nah I think it’s just the scholarships for each individual school

[desert radish]

i think a lot of ppl know but dont want to apply bc "oh it's a good school but it's in stl ew"

[lucid crest]

I alr got rejected from danforth scholar

yeah

I guess that’s also true

[rapid reef]

i got rejected from every signautre scholar

i did all 3

[lucid crest]

I did only 1

[rapid reef]

bruhh

i think washu is very strong for premed so it attracts a lotta ppl from my school

[lucid crest]

but only 1% of the student population gets signature scholars anyway

[desert radish]

ive seen ppl on the reddit say smth like that

[rapid reef]

true true I put a lotta effort in so i was rly hoping for it

[desert radish]

also yk money

[rapid reef]

yeah washu is expensive

[desert radish]

would be hella good to get a full/partial ride to a t20

[rapid reef]

thats why i rly wanted merit

[desert radish]

id commit so much easier to washu if they gave me ampersand

[lucid crest]

I think with my financial status I alr get full tuition for washu if I get in

[rapid reef]

oh thats pretty convenient

i wont get anything so i didnt even bothe rapplying for aid

[lucid crest]

also parents who work at washu for 7 years give children free tuition

I rlly hope I get in cus my only non safety acceptance is Purdue

[rapid reef]

bro thats insane benefits

[desert radish]

it is

[inland igloo]

its funny cause it's in the bougie part of stl

[rapid reef]

i think u got a super big chance

[lucid crest]

I do think so

[inland igloo]

like the neighborhood around WashU is really nice

[desert radish]

eh

[lucid crest]

and also my parents rlly want me to go to washu bc of its locality

[desert radish]

Washu's close to the loop but eh

[rapid reef]

some streets from there is the hood lol

[desert radish]

yeah

[rapid reef]

but u just gotta stay off them

[inland igloo]

son

[lucid crest]

some of u city is hood

[inland igloo]

that's true of a lot of really nice parts of ac ity

[rapid reef]

my sister when she went to washu saw a shooting right outside her apartment

[inland igloo]

she did washu undergrad?

[rapid reef]

yeah

[rapid reef]

lmao east st louis

nothing can compare to that

[lucid crest]

even more hood

[desert radish]

nothing can compare to east stl but it's still not the greatest

[rapid reef]

i just rly like the location of stl and the restaurants r nice

[inland igloo]

but like...

if you're in clayton

you're fine

[lucid crest]

Clayton and ladue have really nice neighborhoods

[inland igloo]

lots of top schools are within walking distance of less safe areas, but that's true of more than just washU

[rapid reef]

did u get into columbia

[inland igloo]

likely

[rapid reef]

W congrats

[lucid crest]

Oooo nice

[rapid reef]

rabi scholar?

[inland igloo]

no scholarship thingy

just likely

[rapid reef]

ah thats really good lmao

my friend got one too

[inland igloo]

dubs

lowk talking to other likelies makes me feel like a chud

[rapid reef]

why lol

they clearly saw sum special in u

[lucid crest]

I didn’t apply to Columbia and i haven’t heard of anyone getting a likely

[rapid reef]

oh lmao theyre one of the few that give likelies

i didnt apply either

[inland igloo]

well obviously yeah

but like some ppl have done like super prestigious competitions and had lots of cool impact
my ECs are kind of mid compared to that

[lucid crest]

I know they give likelies

[inland igloo]

so it was just kind of surprising

[lucid crest]

I just haven’t heard of anyone ik getting it

[rapid reef]

ah I see

[inland igloo]

they're pretty rare iirc

so that makes sense

[rapid reef]

lmao ur ECs were impressive to an ivy league schools so that says sum

like I went to prestigious competition and I still dont have jack rn 😭

[lucid crest]

my ecs are kinda mid

I alr got rejected 7 times lol

[inland igloo]

people get really scared when they didn't get a likely which kinda sucks cause like... i feel like if i try to reassure them abt it it'll come off as disingenuous

[inland igloo]

it's okay king these bum ass colleges just can't see your worth

[lucid crest]

exactly

[rapid reef]

lmao cmon majority of applicants dont get likelies

[inland igloo]

that's cause these colleges are chuds

[rapid reef]

LMAO I've gotten 2 rejections, 1 deferral, and 1 acceptnace

[inland igloo]

yeah but being on here, where people lowkey spiral about decisions (and you're more likely to see people get likelies, making it seem more common than it is), I can see why people get geeked

[lucid crest]

the one that hurt the most was uiuc

I was deferred and then rejected

[inland igloo]

a bunch of my super smart friends got waitlisted or rejected UIUC

[rapid reef]

yeah and it doesnt help that ppl on linkedin post their likely letters bruh

[inland igloo]

they're really weird this year

[rapid reef]

aww its fine man

public universities r weird

[lucid crest]

yeah

[inland igloo]

larp larp larp sahur

[rapid reef]

lmao

[inland igloo]

why are you posting on linkedin as a high schooler if you're not actively running a business

[rapid reef]

i got in ut austin, deferred harvard rea, and rejected 2 bs/md programs. But i did get an interview for one bs/md program

[inland igloo]

yo ut austin is crazy

[lucid crest]

I was rejected from ut Austin

[rapid reef]

im auto admit in state

[lucid crest]

oh yeah in state benefit

[rapid reef]

so it doesnt rly count 😭

[inland igloo]

did you get preferred major?

[rapid reef]

yes

but neuroscience isnt as competitive

[lucid crest]

just an oos chud

[inland igloo]

that's pretty impressive then

even being top 5% of your class is pretty impressive, you should be proud

[lucid crest]

def

[rapid reef]

thank you 😭 I tried rly hard with my grades

i lowkey had no social life last yr

[lucid crest]

the only tx school I got into so far is utd

[rapid reef]

mit of the south!

[lucid crest]

fr!

I may consider going there bc of the full ride that ntl merit finalists get tho

that is if I don’t get into washu

[rapid reef]

but trust u will

[lucid crest]

I believe so too

[rapid reef]

I believe i will too but we never know lmao

[lucid crest]

idk I have heard stories of ppl getting rejected with legacy/parents working at washu

[left drum]

i met someone who got a columbia likely a few days ago 😭

[lucid crest]

bruh 😭

[rapid reef]

its VERY much possible but obviously more get in than rejected

and we aren't like bad applicants we should be relatively competition even without any institutional hooks

[lucid crest]

that is true

and I don’t think my application was complete garbage

and neither was urs likely

so hopefully this means we gettin in

[rapid reef]

yeah we'll be fine

[desert radish]

that happened to a classmate of mine

[lucid crest]

that happened to one of my friends who applied ed1

[desert radish]

they applied ed1 too thats crazy

[lucid crest]

idk I’m hearing that his essays were kinda rushed, and his ecs were kinda mid

[desert radish]

(not bashing my classmate i genuinely wish him the best and was hoping he got in) his ecs were good but he put like 15 recs and his essays were mid from what i heard

[lucid crest]

yeah

I wish mine and ur classmate got in

but essay quality seems to matter a lot, and 15 recs is insane

[rapid reef]

jhu waitlist washu time now

[lucid crest]

nice

[desert radish]

im joking abt the fifteen recs but still more than 2 and a few supplemental recs

[lucid crest]

i only had my counselor rec and 2 teachers

all you need

[desert radish]

Ikr

[lucid crest]

hopefully with these lower recs we get in

after 3 recs it just sounds like the same things rehashed over and over again

[rocky jay]

im so nervous....

[snow edge]

yo who applied econ to washu'

[rocky jay]

https://tenor.com/view/i-could've-sworn-there-was-a-gif-of-this-whatever-squid-game-squid-game-edit-squid-game-edit-meme-i'm-so-scared-gif-12360771953743496060

[static harness]

washu is genuinely gonna break my no rejection streak lol

but it's okay

[rapid reef]

noo u gotta trust WE finna get in

[lucid crest]

WE are getting in

the feeder school must bless me

[rapid reef]

i deadass got no confidence anymore

[lucid crest]

I’m so scared that I’m not getting in

[rapid reef]

after jhu waitlist i lost faith

[lucid crest]

I have a 7 rejection streak rn

but i am still hopeful for washu 🙏

since multiple ppl from my school actually get in easily

if I don’t get in, all hope is lost

[rapid reef]

if i dont get in im breaking my computer

[lucid crest]

fr

surely I’m getting in with my decently high stats at a feeder

[rapid reef]

yeah if we don't get in we gotta cope HELLA here lmao

[lucid crest]

yeah 😭

[desert radish]

girl i got rejected from jhu i think waitlist at JHU is a compliment ngl

hope yall get in

if i dont imma be hella sad and hopeless

[lucid crest]

I’m sorry to hear that 😭

[rapid reef]

Nah believe in urself u got this

Many HYPSM kids get rejected from JHU

I’m just hard on myself

[lucid crest]

Pls washu ur my last chance 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[desert radish]

My ecs arent that cracked and i dont have any published research or anything

My only other options if i dont get into any ivies or washu is brandeis or binghamton

[lucid crest]

me neither

otherwise I only have Purdue or utd

[rapid reef]

u guys will be fine dw

college dont define u

[lucid crest]

yeah

[outer flower]

same bro

my options are purdue and uiuc

[lucid crest]

I couldn’t even get into uiuc 😭

[outer flower]

what major

did u go for?

[lucid crest]

cs + stats

[outer flower]

oh shit

[lucid crest]

prob why I didn’t get in cus too competitive

[outer flower]

i applied aerospace engr

[lucid crest]

prob waaay easier to get into than anything cs

[outer flower]

got in purdue and uiuc as OOC but no luck elsewhere yet :(((((

[lucid crest]

and all I have is js purdue

purdue so chill with oos students

[outer flower]

yeah

but its expensive :((

47k

[lucid crest]

yeah

[outer flower]

a yr

same with UIUC

[lucid crest]

either I pay 47k a year at purdue

[outer flower]

WashU gives good aid

[lucid crest]

yeah

[outer flower]

bro like its either I get into one of them private unis or a UC

since im instate

[lucid crest]

I’d go washu over purdue simply bc the aid

[outer flower]

but no luck with ANY of the UCs so far (i only applied UCI, UCSB, UCB, UCSD, and UCLA)

[lucid crest]

I live in Missouri so the in state options aren’t exactly the greatest

[outer flower]

ah i see

[lucid crest]

They’re easy to get into at least

[outer flower]

the only advantage instate for cali really is the tuition gng

[lucid crest]

Same here

[outer flower]

yeah

[lucid crest]

since I live around stl, I am praying for washu

[outer flower]

lmao i currently live like 4 hrs away from washu

[lucid crest]

I thought cali would be further

[outer flower]

nah lmao

im in iowa

im not in cali

rn

[lucid crest]

ah ok

[lucid crest]

for break?

[desert radish]

Yall i think im just gonna stay off discord until after ivy day

[outer flower]

[lucid crest]

oops 😭

but I am getting in

[foggy snow]

no like I think you should trust bc your a well accomplished applicant and stressing is not gonna change anything!

[lucid crest]

yeah I know

[foggy snow]

exactlyyyy the decision is already made

[lucid crest]

the decision has been put in a loooooong time ago

all I can do is hope for the best

and move on if I don’t get what I want

[foggy snow]

facts facts facts

[lucid crest]

yeah

I gotta keep the mental up

no matter the result

surely I get in from a feeder school

[young tinsel]

When does this come out

[foggy snow]

someone said ~4:30 CST?

[lucid crest]

most likely

rd came out that time last year and ed2 came out that time this year

so it’s most likely gon be 4:30 pm cst

[rapid reef]

pls washu

plsssss

[lucid crest]

Same here

[rapid reef]

ill get on my hands and knees and beg

[autumn cradle]

wait this drops tmr for yall?

[lucid crest]

yeah

[autumn cradle]

gd luck. also a friday drop is crazy

[rapid reef]

its ucla as well right

[tropic sable]

we got this

[desert radish]

Nvm i dont have the discipline

No only like half accepted ppl do

Brown is the one ur thinking of

[lucid crest]

brown it matters a lot

washu just a tiny bit

truly optional

hopefully this means I got in

[zenith dune]

I just reused my brown video and cut out the end part refrencing providence 😭

I hope that the fact that i wore 3 different brown tshirts in the video doesnt imply that to the admission officers

[supple totem]

is this a troll

[zenith dune]

Nah im being fr

I recorded 3 different ones to use and i hated them all so said fuck it and used browns

[zenith dune]

I feel the need to clarify this was badly framed

Brown colored tshirts not brown uni tshirts

[hallow mural]

thats not as egregious

brown is just your favorite color fr

[zenith dune]

Yeah 😂

[lucid crest]

💀

[fading vapor]

good luck guys !!

[desert radish]

thank goodness lmao

[weary raptor]

any confirmed time?

[left drum]

Idk I heard people were saying 4:30 cst

I’m literally teaching a class 😭 I won’t be able to check until I get home

[rapid reef]

It was 430 last year and for ed2 this year

So reasonable to assume around then

[lucid crest]

yeah

[hallow mural]

thats right when i get out of school 😭

[lucid crest]

I am in my break waiting for this decision

[solemn fox]

Washu portal is down

[prisma atlas]

[frail rapids]

[frail rapids]

for what did u guys applied

[vapid sorrel]

i did economics

wait doesn't eveeryone enter undeclared or sum

[lucid crest]

i applied under cs

yeah they enter undeclared

so they don't admit by major

[vapid sorrel]

oh wow

ngl i feel like id not admitting by major

[lucid crest]

esp helpful for me

[vapid sorrel]

like vro my ecs are not targetted like that

[lucid crest]

cus cs major gets overfilled easily

[frail rapids]

i think so. Just curious!

[vapid sorrel]

yesssss

[lucid crest]

so it actually helps me

hopefully i get into mckelvey

[vapid sorrel]

you got this twin

[frail rapids]

[vapid sorrel]

washU has always been one of my dreams

[lucid crest]

as someone who's school takes in 20-25 kids for washu every year

[vapid sorrel]

Ngl a girl who graduated from my school with the same first and last name as me 10 years ago went to washU and she's always been my inspiration

[vapid sorrel]

[median jasper]

[lucid crest]

nah

[median jasper]

shooot ok

[lucid crest]

i think this happens for everyone applying

[frail rapids]

bro your school sends ~25 kids to washu and aint no way these 25 kids have parents there

chill out

[lucid crest]

yeah it should be fine

[frail rapids]

you're in good shape either way

[lucid crest]
