Did anyone receive this and is it truly a big honor? Or more of an extra little encouragement to get us to commit? Ha. Don’t mean to be skeptical but it comes with no monetary award, and we are almost full pay…can’t make the number work at all but love everything about WashU. Just curious if anyone knows of this:
Based upon your outstanding record of achievement, aptitudes, and stated interests, we are now delighted to offer you early acceptance into the Medicine & Society Program at Washington University.
PS…I have since researched and this IS absolutely a legitimate and awesome program. We were just wondering if our daughter was actually invited to attend without applying, or if perhaps we are misunderstanding. It’s such an honor only 20 freshman are invited but I think it’s usually based on a separate application. If anyone has been part of the program, would love to hear your feedback. 
I received the email as well! I don’t know much about it either, but I hope to talk to a current student soon and see if I can get more information about it.
@shortstack28 …do you mind if I ask your major? My D was honored but confused because she listed her major as neuroscience not anthropology or public health, and that appears to be the focus of this group. It seems like quite an honor…congrats. But yes…a little confusing?
@twinmom71 I applied as an anthropology major (global health & environment) and also biology so my interests do align very well with the program haha…
