<p>Does WashU send out likely letters and, if they do, when?</p>
<p>I don't really think they need to. </p>
<p>Ivies and other top schools do it because they have a set date to release decisions (like March 31). Since they want to snag strong applicants early, they send likely letters.</p>
<p>WashU, on the other hand, has no set date. They do quasi-rolling admissions (in "waves," or w/e) so, instead of sending likelies, it makes more sense to me that they would just send flat-out acceptance letters!</p>
<p>In waves???</p>
<p>Yeah, what do you mean, "in waves"? Are you saying that WU sends letters out considerably earlier than the April 1st "notification" date? Ah, blah, so nervous! haha, I am just hoping to be a finalist for one or all of the scholarships that I applied to, getting nervous!</p>
<p>In the past, WUSTL has sent out acceptances in mid-March. Some on CC are predicting that they may be released as early as March 13 this year.</p>
<p>tumbletiger - you are pretty spot on concerning the timing - I don't know nor have I ever seen them go out in "waves". There could be a few days difference in the receipt of letters, but that is a variable of the US postal service not mailing time.</p>
