Class of 2022 RD Discussion Thread

Do they use any other color, like traffic light, Red (stopped / denied), Yellow (move with caution / waitlisted), Green (good to go / accepted)?

Ya I definetly don’t think they are coming out today, it seems far too early to me any ways

@HoosierDaddy1995 posted this several pages back, and while he is no soothsayer, I saw the logic in him saying that decisions could be coming this week. No one ever said they were definitely coming, but I was hoping. If they sent emails in the morning in past years, then I agree that we are probably not hearing today. Last year was the only year they were really delayed. And it still makes sense to me that they’d release today being that tomorrow is Spring Break. Oh well, we’ll find out soon enough.

FYI - The RD date for the past few years is as follows:
2017 - 3/15 (Wed, around 5:00 EDT)
2016 - 3/10 (Thurs, around 5:30 EST)
2015 - 3/9
2014 - 3/10

@Winky1 From dates posted above, 2015 and 2014 released dates were Monday, don’t know the time nor the relation w.r.t spring break those years.

If you are talking about RD results, I can say for sure that in 2014, the results came out pretty late in March, may be 28/29. My son is going to graduate from Wash U in 2018 and I quite vividly remember it was late in March. Good luck to all.

@Winky1 I was hoping they would be this week too, but I guess not. Anyone know when Spring break ends? I doubt they’ll send them out in the middle of the holidays.

Their staff may work during Spring Break, unless they elect to take vacations this could be a good time for them to get a lot of work done.

I am sure nobody in admissions is allowed a vacation until April!

On the decision day, is the decision gonna be mailed via UPS in the morning, then released via the portal in the late afternoon?

I am a scholarship finalist and my portal updated with that red message when my status update was posted notifying me of my finalist status

I have the red update as well.

So since it’s past 12:30 and we haven’t been notified that means it’s not coming out today?

@laurenewton I would assume it is next friday

OTOH, there’s a new Dean of Admission this year. Changes are possible.

Dig out Spring break for previous 2 years and they are

2017 - 3/15 (Wed, around 5:00 EDT) - Spring Break Mar 12-18
2016 - 3/10 (Thurs, around 5:30 EST) - Spring Break Mar 13-19

So RD decision can be in Spring Break (like last year) next week.

@laurenewton Probably,

Not sure why people think seeing them this early would be crazy. Here are the links to the CC threads the dates RD was released.

2013 - 3/8

Last year was a week later, but scholarships were also a week later. Scholarships came out this year like 2013-2016, I believe. I don’t believe RD has ever been March 28 or 29 for WashU. Anyway, it appears I was wrong about decisions coming out today. Hopefully Monday. Have a great weekend.

@HoosierDaddy1995 I hope it’s Monday too!

Adding to my previous post:

It seems spring break begins 2nd Sunday of March

2017 - 3/15 (Wed, around 5:00 EDT) - Spring Break Mar 12-18
2016 - 3/10 (Thurs, around 5:30 EST) - Spring Break Mar 13-19
2015 - 3/9 (Mon) Spring Break Mar 8-14 (assumption)
2014 - 3/10 (Mon) Spring Break Mar 9-15 (assumption).

So
2018 - 3/?? Spring Break Mar 11-17.

Let us keep fingers crossed for coming Monday just like 2014, 2015.

Has anyone checked their USPS Informed Delivery? I believe someone on the 2021 RD thread said they received a notification through there.
