Washington University in St. Louis Class of 2021 RD Discussion Thread

@DoctorMD When it happens.

wash u is unaffordable without these scholarships, looks like that will make my college decision a little easier

Do RD decisions get mailed? Or posted to the pathway?

so we are expecting the decision this friday?

@viewsfromthe415 portal

@Maggie1224 that’s the speculation

@Sky1000 it said we would need a tracking number to find out if there is a package. Has anyone been able to check UPS?

@rockyc Once you sign into the account you created, click on the “Customize My UPS” link near the top left hand corner of the screen. Then under tracking make sure the UPS MyChoice box is checked.

@Sky1000 oh yes I see it now!

@rockyc do you see a package yet?

@viewsfromthe415 last year the first wave of decisions were posted on the pathway on the second Friday of March at five pm eastern standard time. That morning the packages detailing acceptance were sent via UPS to accepted applicants. The packages arrived the following Monday. Rejection are only available on the pathway. They were not sent via snail mail.

@Jamillion does being a finalist mean you got accepted? If so congratulations!

So how many of you guys showed interest in the school? I heard demonstrated interest (visiting, mailing list, and applying for scholarships) was a pretty big factor in admission.

@Sky1000 I showed a TON of demonstrated interest. I visited, interviewed, called, emailed, applied for scholarships, visited local info sessions, personally contacted my rep to tell her WashU is my first choice, etc.

It looks like they may be using USPS this year for packages. Just got an email from myUSPS about a delivery and this was the first line:

The pathway is down for me, which is what happened right before scholarship decisions came out. I wonder if they might come out sooner?

@cook10 It’s down for me too. Do you think they’ll send decisions today?

@Dolemite when is it said to arrive?

Anyone else have a package coming? Dolomite-is yours related to being a scholarship finalist?

@nervous17yearold @mom121 Package supposedly arrived today. My D is a scholarship finalist.

@Dolemite congrats to your daughter! the package most likely pertains to her scholarship award then.
