did you guys send your ED commitment form through an email or through mail?
my counselor sent it by naviance online and my parents signed it online through the common app. however u can also print out the paper and mail it in through 5 pm on the 16th. @plscolleges
HELP! how long does it take to get your portal login to washu. i just sent in my common app but haven’t gotten an email yet. a bit worried.
@hellokitty679 I sent in my common app a month ago and they emailed me the portal login in a few hours.
Just submitted mine! Fingers crossed
PLEASE WASHU…LOL
Good luck everybody!! 
oh shit @1358531 i still haven’t received it yet
do u guys think they’ll notify us well before Dec 15th or exactly on Dec 15th?
@hellokitty679 Last year it was on the 10th, so it’ll be the week before the 15th
Did we have to mail our official transcripts to them or did our counselor do that on the CommonApp? I thought my counselor just had to upload that onto CommonApp.
I’m worried because on my WUSTL pathway it says that they haven’t received my ED forms, SAT, or official transcripts, but I sent all of those already.
Never mind, it updated. Now I have everything listed as received.
@anonemuss should we be looking in the mail or online through our portal? will they send us an email? or are we expected to check ourselves?
@hellokitty679 Idk, i’m also applying this year but i noticed based on the thread from last year
@anonemuss oh lol. well I wish u good luck! we’re in this same boat together

@kobe24mamba
Awesome extracurriculars and SAT! Good GPA. I’m pretty sure you’ll get in if you applied ED.
Does anyone know when decisions will be posted?
I’m applying ED as well. Good luck to everyone!
@scout1298 on their website they say December 15th, but in recent years it was:
2014: Dec 10th (Wednesday)
2013: Dec 9th (Monday)
2012: Dec 11th (Tuesday)
2011: Dec 9th (Friday)
2010: Dec 10th (Friday)
So, I think it could be more like Dec 9th/10th/11th this year as well.
@hellokitty679 @anonemuss you will see both a notification email telling you to check your portal, and it will be on the portal itself. You will get a decision sent in the mail a couple days later
How does WashU know if you visited? I visited over the summer (and applied ED) but on my WashU pathway it asks about scheduling a campus visit. Do they know that I visited?
