I’m sticking by next Thursday/Friday for when ED1 decisions are announced. Next week is dead week and nothing going on expect for students studying for finals.
ED1 applicant(likely reject) here. So anxious.
Me too—It’s very stressful. I hope it comes out sooner than Friday.
I agree with @Hamurtle
My DD found out on a Thursday in December 2015. My bet is in Thursday or Friday next week.
Good luck to all. If you choose to attend WashU, you will be going to an amazing school.
Good luck to everyone applying ED1. Try not to stress at this point and if you are accepted, congratulations and as @ChicagoSportsFn says, WashU is an amazing school and St. Louis is underrated as a city.
What is the likelihood that it comes out tomorrow?
Not likely that it comes out Monday.
I’m wishing the best for all you ED applicants! I was thinking of making a discord for the class of 23 once decisions came out, if anyone is interested in that idea.
Just an update for you guys - My counselor told me today that my admissions rep for my region called and wanted to hear more about every washU ED applicant from my school. Clearly they haven’t made their decisions yet.
Apparently Cornell just announced their ED results. So if the tea leaves are reading correctly, expect WashU ED1 results to be announced this week. Thursday or Friday look to be the days.
Ok, thank you for keeping us updated:)!
Do we get an email notifying us when we will be notified of a decision?
If I recall, my DD got an email telling her to check her admission status. The results came out on a Thursday at either 3 or 5pm central in December 2015.
@ChicagoSportsFn is correct. You will get an email notifying you that there is an update to your admissions status.
The son got his update 12/9/16 around 3:00 California time. The parents were more nervous than the son. Mom called him and he was pretty nonchalant with his good news.
Wishing everyone the best! My D is an ED applicant and we are going through the college process for the first time. Sending out good vibes to us all!
I was in your shoes in 2015-2016. It is such an anxiety-filled time.
It’ll be over soon enough, and hoping for good news for your family.
Any chance it comes out tonight or tomorrow?
@bitsandbobs Absolutely there’s a chance it comes out tonight or tomorrow. No one knows (other than admissions) the exact time and date, so there’s a chance it can come out sometime between tonight and Friday.
If I was obsessed over this - and I’m not since my DD is already a student there, but I feel for all of you still waiting- then I’d check my email every day this week at about 3pm central.
In 2015, I told my D16 before Ieft for a business trip to expect something on Friday. Sure enough, the decisions came out that Thursday. She was pleasantly surprised it came out sooner.
So, anything is possible for this week.
Wouldn’t be brutal if it didn’t come out this week though? That means another agonizing weekend.
They said decisions would be released by the 15th, is it still possible they don’t come out this week?
Yes. The going in position for everyone is results come out this week.
But there’s nothing that says a hiccup can’t happen and results come out later than “promised.” No one is going to take WashU to court for not coming through on a 15 Dec. No one is going to pull their ED app if results don’t come out this week.
Michigan just sent an email to alumni with kids applying EA. The email basically said even though their kid applied EA, it might not be until April they find out their fate (read: potentially lots of deferrals for Michigan EA). The betting line for Michigan EA notification is 19 Dec.
Back to WashU, go with the 15 Dec notification date and be pleasantly surprised if it comes sooner. I doubt it’ll be 15 Dec though because that’s a Saturday.
