<p>@Jim, I’ve read that it was about an hour before they posted the decisions. I really wouldnt mind the waiting if they would just tell us definitively WHEN we would get the decisions</p>
<p>no facebook and no decisions… talk about a horrible day</p>
<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/washington-university-st-louis/1218238-washu-early-decision-class-2016-a-20.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/washington-university-st-louis/1218238-washu-early-decision-class-2016-a-20.html</a></p>
<p>Apparently the site crashed 2 days before decision last year >.<</p>
<p>Is Facebook down? I can’t get on it.</p>
<p>wow…awesome…I’m just gonna go cry now</p>
<p>they need a new backend…</p>
<p>As much as possible the best thing we can all do is stop worrying about when decisions will be released! Otherwise we’ll fall into this trap:
Today: System error! Decisions coming soon!
Tuesday: Since it wasn’t yesterday, it must be today! 
Wednesday: That was weird, maybe there was a problem. Today’s the day.
Thursday: Haven’t eaten all day. Stayed home pressing the refresh button every 10 seconds.
Friday: Absolutely nothing gets accomplished until decision time.</p>
<p>@baseball pretty much sums it up. Not like it’ll stop us from freaking out every day at 5 PM though…</p>
<p>This is my face everyday at five pm… -_____-</p>
<p>Sorry, like -_____-</p>
<p>I can’t even write my other essays properly right now. Hope it’s tomorrow…</p>
<p>have you guys though about the fact that some of us are going to be classmates? the realness of all of this hasn’t hit me yet</p>
<p>The lucky ones of us are going to be classmates. Best not get our hopes up yet. <em>realist for life</em></p>
<p>@205straylor exactly how I’m thinking :P</p>
<p>anyone know the ed acceptance rate?</p>
<p>I’ve read between 25-30%, but don’t take my word.</p>
<p>@ogallop there’s no official #s, but I think most people believe its probably within 2-3% points of the RD acceptance rate.</p>
<p>I’ve heard that it’s anywhere from 10%-40% (from various sources). It depends on the year. So yes, technically applying ED can a hurt your chances if a lotttt of people applied this year. They don’t want to make up more than around 30% of their freshman class from the ED pool, because then the RD acceptance rate would really plummet.</p>
<p>According to this

it’s 30%</p>
<p>not sure who made that spreadsheet…but washu doesn’t release that information</p>
