Official WUSTL 2013 Transfer Thread

<p>I haven't seen any thread about WUSTL so I guess I will start one.
WUSTL has rolling notification. They will notify the results after approximately 6 weeks. Has anyone heard back from WUSTL yet?
I guess there are not many applicants since they have an incredible low rate, last year it was like 5%.
Anyway, is anyone else applying?</p>

From last year’s thread, WUSTL has some kind of secret wait-list… So If you haven’t heard from them. It’s probably good news.</p>

<p>When do you complete your applications?
Mine’s complete on Mar 6th.</p>

<p>heard nothing about the secret waitlist…
they’ll release decision this or next week.</p>

<p>Rejected :confused: after 7 days completing my app. Just too quick</p>

<p>I am sure they have a secret waiting list. My friend applied last year and got accepted the end of May. I got rejected on the 7th of March.Another friend got accepted almost the same time.
Good luck to everyone who applied!</p>

<p>can someone elaborate on what this secret waiting list is?</p>

<p>Has anyone gotten a decision yet? My daughter has been complete for approx. 5 weeks, and still anxiously waiting.</p>

<p>Not yet. But i think they will come next week…</p>

<p>is WUSTL notifying applicants of their admissions decision via pathway?</p>

<p>Yes, you can view the decision on pathway.</p>

<p>Rejected. Blah, stuff happens. Oh well. They still have some of the friendliest admissions officers I’ve spoken to. Best of luck to everyone else.</p>

<p>^^ how were you notified?</p>

<p>There are many applicants who have been rejected, but are too ashamed to post their results. The fact is WUSTL denies 9 out of 10 applicants, and they do so in a very quick manner. Check your real life mail for decisions.</p>

<p>so if we haven’t heard yet that’s most likely a good thing?</p>

<p>We will get an mail if we get rejected right?
I can’t view my decision on my pathway… I applied last year and got wait listed. the officer says that since i applied last year, i can’t log in to pathway due to technological issues…
well, i think reject is on its way.</p>

<p>Sorry emerson. Do you mind posting when your application was complete?</p>

<p>Anyone accepted so far?</p>

<p>Junior Transfer.Olin admitted. Got my decision on pathway last Thursday.</p>

<p>^^ how many weeks do they give you until you have to respond to the offer?</p>
