Any other information, @ARIVERA1 ? Do you guys think it could be today if people were in fact called this weekend?
@CassiniButterfly WashU routinely releases their results between 4 and 5 PM Central Time— probably to limit the number of angry phone calls they get during working hours that day in response to the decisions.
@2KansasKids If you’re a scholarship finalist, you can bet you’re accepted! WashU wouldn’t spend the money flying students out who might not even be accepted.
WashU is strange in that they release scholarships before they release RD; it feels a bit backwards, but it is what it is. As @HoosierDaddy1995 pointed out, RD results usually come out a couple weeks after scholarships are released and a couple weeks before the published date. I think it just depends on how efficient they are that year at reading the apps.
Since WashU is competing with Ivies/NW/Vandy for students and yield rate, they release the scholarship results before RD to attract students.
Hey guys,
Good luck for the next month or so. I am a current freshman at WashU and also part of one of the scholarship programs. I received my call about finalist weekend during this week last year. If you have any questions pm me and I’ll do my best to answer.
Hi all! I just wanted to let you know that the scholarship notification has begun! My daughter just received a call congratulating her on being a Danforth finalist! She was told that she would receive notification in the portal within the next 24 hours! Good luck, everyone!
@artmom6 That’s so exciting! Thanks for letting us know. Hoping for some good news for me and others tonight
im waiting for someone else to be called as a finalist before i beat myself up over not getting a call lol
@tiimmyturner A close friend of mine just got called about Danforth. Calls seem to be coming in slowly but surely so don’t lose any hope yet!
@tiredIBstudent ahh congrats to ur friend!! and thanks! i applied to moog and didnt see any finalists in last year’s thread so im a bit scared
I applied to Ervin and Rodriguez. Has anyone heard back about those scholarships yet?
My D applied Olin business school scholar Distinguished Scholars Program, has anyone heard back about it yet?
@emlrs125 i haven’t yet i applied to Danforth, Rodriguez, Ervin, & Lien and i’m still hoping to hear back
Has anyone else gotten a call? I can’t figure out if I should be disappointed for not getting it or hopeful that I still may have a chance.
@collegeamirite so far only danforth heard back, apparently. i’d keep your hopes up for tomorrow? some scholarship programs don’t even call; u just find out in the portal the next day - which hopefully is tomorrow.
If you applied for Danforth and have not received a call yet like me . . . I think its safe to say it is extremely unlikely we become finalists
@Sallaw hahaha woohoo rip me
My DS just got an email about being finalist for Compton Scholar. He didn’t get a call as far as I know.
Has anyone received a phone call today for Danforth?
What are the actual chances of receiving the scholarships though? 5%?
I applied to Rodriguez and Lien and haven’t had any calls. Do they call international applicants though?
