<p>^They do alumni interviews all over…not just on campus.</p>

<p>@jeckert I did an on-campus interview when I visited, and my interviewer was very warm, friendly, and enjoyable to talk to. You’d definitely have more of a personal touch if you had an interview.</p>

<p>To the students concerned about the “mandatory” 500 word limit on the Common App essay:</p>

<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-essays/1156079-common-application-essay-length-500-words-not-strict-cut-off.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-essays/1156079-common-application-essay-length-500-words-not-strict-cut-off.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>So it appears that this is NOT an actual limit, but more of a recommendation, probably due to complaints of 1,000+ word essays received by universities. I hope that everyone else on here is as relieved as I was when I found out!</p>

<p>I’m also applying ED and will keep everyone updated with my status!</p>

<p>So I just got the invite to Discovery Weekend. It’s sounding pretty awesome so far.</p>

25

<p>Have you guys already made the decision whether to ED or RD?</p>

26

<p>anybody finished their scholarships yet?</p>

27

<p>WashU doesn’t have a supplementary essay right?</p>

28

<p>^ correct.</p>
