Class of 2021 Scholarship Discussion/Results

Ervin Finalist!!

RIP. Hahah, at least applying to these shows a ton of demonstrated interest so that helps… Congrats everyone who got a scholarship/is recognized as a finalist, you all deserve it! It’s been great talking with you guys about these scholarships. The wait for RD begins 8-|

Has Nemerov come out?!?

@JemmaSimmons Congratulations on receiving the Langsdorf scholarship! Would you mind sharing your stats?

Didn’t get anything and I really can’t afford washu without the scholarship

will i get an email saying i didn’t get a scholarship or will i just have to sit and wonder???

@mominfl decisions came out on the applicant portal.

Well this is just bullshit I applied to five spent two months on essays and I got nothing. If WashU thinks that of me then it’s their loss. Ridiculous.

Did everyone get an email aside from an update on their portal?

I just got a call and the ID said it was from Washington DC. I’m assuming that it was the same person who called @JemmaSimmons However, when I picked up, no one answered…

I found out I am a finalist for the Rodriguez scholarship, but I did not recive a call. Is not receiving a call bad?

Applied to Langsdorf, Rodriguez, Entrepreneurial, Ervin, and McKelvy. Nothing. None. Someone please tell me why I spent days and weeks on those essays. I honestly want to die. There’s no purpose anymore. All I wanted was to go to WashU and now I can’t go there and I get to spend 35K per year for my own in state school, which I need to take out loans for all of it. Disgusting how people on here are still debating attending WashU even though they’re a finalist. Congrats

Anyone out there who knows what’s up? @TheShark re: my previous comment… do u know if the call I got from D.C. was likely from a WashU rep like Jemma’s was? No one answered when I picked up…

@kc9191 Your determination and commitment will always stand you in good stead in all of your future endeavors. I didn’t get one either. I feel your pain. We will make good things happen for ourselves elsewhere. No one can deny us that except ourselves.

@NJJetsFan Sure. 36 ACT, UWGPA 4.0/W 4.793. Class Rank 1/401. Applying to biomedical engineering.

thank you @mominfl

Congratulations guys! Looking forward to seeing you guys in August! Unfortunately I am not one of the finalists but getting in ED was already awesome for me :). Those who have not received the good news yet, wish you all luck with RD!

@kc9191 People have different standards for themselves. If it’s HYPSM vs WashU, I would reconsider my attendance to WashU. Students who come from low-income backgrounds typically receive very generous financial aid packages to many great schools, so a merit scholarship wouldn’t even be a deal breaker.

We all worked hard, and a scholarship, or even an acceptance letter, is not guaranteed to even the brightest students sometimes.

Just out of curiosity, did anyone else get a Langsdorf and/or McKelvey scholarship?

@kc9191 I believe that bright students like yourself will do well and can be successful at any number of schools.
Don’t be discouraged! The right one is out there for you.
