Class of 2014 Official RD Decisions Thread

charlieharper · March 8, 2010, 6:03pm

Rumor has it that WUSTL will be releasing RD decisions this coming Wednesday at 5:00 PM EST!

Good luck guys! I don't know how decisions will work out for me, but I'm sure I will get what I deserve, and I hope for the very best for you!

Here is the format for when decisions do come out. The trick is to take the spaces out of the brackets before you post. If you don't then the formatting won't work.

Please...honestly...follow directions. Too many times people just copy and paste this template instead of removing the spaces. Remember, we're here to help out the Class of 2015! So let's not embarrass ourselves, all right?

where did you hear that rumor? has anyone actually confirmed it? that would be too exciting!

Jamiecago · March 8, 2010, 9:06pm

Nobody has confirmed yet, but someone on CC who called the admission office was told that the “decisions are already made” and that “hopefully all decisions will be released this week.” Besides, according to past records, decisions have been released around 7~11th of march. If you have more questions, use the Waiting Room thread :)
