Washington University in St. Louis 2024 ED1

As Early Decision 1 deadline approaches, it might be nice to start this discussion thread.
Deadline: Nov 1st
WashU is amazing. Good luck to u all!

As a WashU parent, I can guess which day ED1 results will be out this year.

May December 6 be a lucky day for everybody.

Isn’t that a little early? They said decisions by December 15th.

WashU always releases their ED results on a Friday. And I don’t think that Friday the 13th would be a good date for ED1. Coincidentally the second Friday in December this year is the 13th and I don’t think the admissions office would want to announce decisions that day/

Generally, the ED/ED1 date is the first Friday in December. Which was when my kid got his acceptance for the Class of 2021.

Ok thank you!

Wow!

Nice to meet you guys! I’m sooo nervous about this application. It feels so weird to stress about an application I haven’t even submitted yet lol. Also, how many ECs are you guys planning to list out of the 10 activities on your common app? I am a bit confused as to whether we need to fill up all 10.

I filled all 10 but that is just because I felt like I had 10 strong things to list.

Last year ED1 came out on Thursday, December 13th at about 4:30 pm CST. This was two days before the listed decision date of December 15th. December 6th seems optimistic, and I would expect Thursday, December 12th instead.

My son applied ED and you can cut the tension with a knife is our house. Decision less than 2 weeks away. How is everyone feeling?

I applied ED and am super anxious as well! I’m glad the decision date is getting close!

Thanksgiving with the grandparents made the pressure more prevalent. Now we wait! Best of luck to everyone!

I have been patiently waiting but as the deadline approaches it gets harder and harder to stay calm. Any more information on date and time of decision release out there?

Does anyone know if WashU will email us before sending out admission decisions?

^the email that will be sent is that admission decisions have been made and that you should check the portal.

Looks like Questbridge applicants have received their match. Congratulations!
Waiting for the ED1 decisions here…less than two weeks…

The expected decision date is the 12th or 13th, right?

I’m betting the 12th

Likely the 12th at this point, as next week is the reading period/start of finals at WashU. And Friday the 13th for announcing results is a bad look.

I wish it was coming the 6th! But the 12th seems more reasonable. Good luck!
