<p>Hi guys!</p>
<p>Wasn't the deadline for the University Scholars Program (the combined med program) today January 15, 2014? My WUSTL pathway said that the deadline has already passed and I wasn't sure if this was just an error on my account or if I had really missed the deadline. Thanks!</p>
<p>The deadline was today at 5pm CST.</p>
<p>Sigh okay thank you!</p>
<p>Just curious, where did you find the 5 p.m. indication?</p>
<p>My daughter had the exact same problem last night. She checked everywhere for some indication that the deadline was something other than January 15. She found none.</p>
<p>She was also shut out of the Danforth Application, even though the e-mails said “no later than January 15” (which typically means “no later than January 15”). She e-mailed her school counselor. He was stunned.</p>
<p>I know that these folks have a lot of balls to juggle, but they really should have informed the applicants of the 5 p.m. deadline.</p>
<p>I went back in to try to find the information for you but I am also shut out.
I do remember reading it from either the on-line form or the instruction that specifically stated 5pm. Since the time requirement was different from many other colleges, it stuck out in my mind.</p>
<p>The 5pm deadline was in WUSTL Pathway account when we tried to check if rec letters were received by WashU or not. It surpised me although my daughter already submitted all fortunately. But still not sure of rec letters since they are not in her control. Sorry about your situation missing the opportunity because of this. My daughter learned this kind of issue when she missed some other scholarship applications.</p>
<p>Hey, I ran into this same issue Wednesday night when I was trying to submit my Danforth application. It was after 5 so I emailed them and said I missed the deadline because I didn’t know about the 5:00 deadline. They said I could go ahead and submit my application as a PDF file and they might still accept it. Since I was locked out of my online application, I just put all my info into a word document (I had a paper copy of the danforth application so I just followed it) and put my essays in there too. I then sent it to them (pm me for the email address) as a PDF. I have no clue that they will even give it a look, but it made me feel better that I had tried something. I felt so terrible about missing the deadline! Maybe you could try this? I would imagine you would have to do something like this today though.</p>
<p>I too was borderline. However, when the site locked me out, I pressed the back button until I got to the scholarship application page, and it still let me submit. Thank God. I would have flipped if it hadn’t.</p>
<p>Yup, after I posted this, I actually emailed them too and I received the same message! I ended up emailing them my documents as PDFs so here’s to hoping they received both of our apps.</p>
<p>I sent in my apps the day before, but some of my recs had not shown up yet even though my recommenders had emailed me a week prior saying they had already submitted, and three other scholarships showed they received the recs (same teachers, knew they had to submit separately). I called them day after deadline twice (first time I basically got hung up on)1st time prior to getting hung up on, the lady said only three of the five scholarships (well one was the Early medical school thing) I applied for had complete applications. I told her my recs were submitted a week before and that there was no way they hadn’t processed them. She told me, “at least you got three out of six in” (apparently she can’t count) 2nd time, lady said don’t worry, they haven’t processed (even when I explained the situation and the previous person). So I don’t know if calling again will do anything because both ladies said they can’t do anything, but I’m positive everything was completed. Basically I’m being told I have to trust the system to work itself out.</p>
<p>I wish we can track the status of the scholarship applications as we can do in regular application. :(</p>
