<p>If you don’t start until Jan what do you do until Jan?</p>
<p>my older child’s friends did interesting things: one went to india for 6 months, another went to student teach for a Teach for America type thing, and this month university of miami told my son’s friend to go to a school in washington dc for fall term and theey would take their credits.<br>
they call them ‘middies’</p>
<p>waitlisted…kinda surprised but it is what i guess with a school as great as WashU how can you ever really expect anything other than waitlist/rejection</p>
<p>Who pays for this?</p>
<p>accepted into the architecture program for washu!!! :)))))) good luck to everyone else</p>
<p>@hksales the january program basically means you’ll start your time at washu in january. UNLIKE MIDDLEBURY, you finish on time in may 2016 with the rest of the class (middlebury febbies who graduate in winter 2017 have 4 years despite the late start whereas you’ll have 3.5 if that makes sense). i have some friends who are jprogs and while it is annoying to start late, they all seemed to have great fall activities lined up - one did semester at sea, another took classes in florence, someone else did a local internship, etc. it’s a group of about 40-50 students and it’s only for students in a&s and the art school. you also live in the village once you come to campus frosh year instead of the 40 like all the other freshmen. to make sure they have some credits when they do start, a lot of jprogs do FSAP and some do the fall program (if you do both that gets you about 9 credits which combined with an internship/other classes gets you up to speed with 12-15)</p>
<p>Never mind. Ignore this post. :)</p>
<p>I feel like a large majority of the people getting accepted had very high income…</p>
<p>I am curious why you think the majority are high income. I thought acceptance was need blind. We received a wait list in our house also.</p>
<p>Got accepted! I wish they would go ahead and send fin. aid. because without a lot of that I’m not going. But it still feels good!</p>
<p>@miruth </p>
<p>WashU is known to be need aware.

<p>Accepted! I must say that was the most understated admissions notification I could imagine receiving. The email didn’t even say anything, and it was on some side page. Oh well. Glad to be in.</p>
<p>I’ve been scrolling on the page of people who got waitlisted/accepted/rejected…and I havent found a single individual who got accepted with a “lower” income. Every single one that got in is “privileged” . A mere coincidence maybe.</p>
<p>So a friend of mine who applied didn’t get any email notification. Does anyone know of that happening or what the reason may be?</p>
<p>sharonbower, where in PA are you from? My son was just accepted, we live outside Philadelphia.</p>
<p>just curious, did those accepted get a video or anything along with their decisions?</p>
<p>Just to point out and halt the speculation, I didn’t apply for financial aid, clearly indicating I could pay full tuition without aid, and I was rejected. Don’t think admissions are so shallow. We really don’t know why they chose certain students.</p>
<p>^yeah, Mango15: same with me :(</p>
<p>@thentheresme, I did not get any video. Just a letter.</p>
<p>D’s been waitlisted. Congratulations to those who’ve been accepted!</p>
