Wash U Transfers 2015

At first I emailed them and AO told me decision is made within 6 weeks of completing application (for me, by the end of this week) But after several days I received an email from WUSTL (it’s not personal, like a general format) which tells me result will be available within 8 weeks (by April 11th). So I’m not sure which one is more authentic

So I haven’t received decision yet. The “6 weeks” statement turns out to be wrong!

Has anyone paid a campus visit to Washington U? What is that like?

Rejected this afternoon. TAT

@rvyuan Very sorry to hear that… Did you apply to any other universities?
I’m planning to visit WU next week, since the website seems to imply that paying a visit may strengthen the application…

@puncherkid‌ Yes, I did. WU is first one sends out decision and notably, they didn’t email me again. I just happened to do regular checking and saw the decision. Wish u good luck on your application!

@puncherkid My top choice is Vandy. I really want to go there.

Looking good

To those who have received their decision: did any of you apply to Olin?

@transfer2015777‌ Nah, I applied to chemistry major in Art & Science

My application was complete on Mar 3. But still no decision. What about you guys? This whole waiting is killing me.

Received decision and was accepted a week ago into Olin! Anyone else hear back?

@justdoit0 Congrats! I haven’t yet received my decision- could you share your stats and tell us when you completed your application?

Anyone applying to Sam Fox?

At what time of day were your decisions posted online?

@puncherkid @transfer2015777
I completed my application early February. Make sure you constantly check your WUSTL Pathway, the email that says your decision is available is delayed and is sent a day or two after your decision is up online. My decision came out around 8pm ET

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. If you don’t mind, could you possibly share your stats? It would be nice to compare myself to an admitted candidate.
