Oh wow! Good luck everyone!!! Sending tons of good vibes your way, fingers crossed we all make it!
@ADP2322 is the admissions office closed during break?
It’s highly unlikely that the admissions office is closed during break. Remember, that people still do college visits to WashU even while all the students are out for spring break (just check their visit website), and all visits to campus are done through the office of undergrad admissions. They don’t close down, especially when ppl are doing college visits during spring break.
so no shipping notification on USPS or UPS = denied?
Do waitlist people get UPS as well? Or is it just accepted people?
@sonia1216 its just people who are accepted; waitlist + rejections only get the online letter.
@Borgotealo have people been able to see if they have a package?
Please see the updated release dates attached. If Wash U releases tomorrow as they did the same last year, it shows packets weren’t mailed until April 1st. There is no way to determine acceptance except to be patient. It doesn’t appear checking UPS and USPS sites will give the answer you are looking for and will only cause anxiety. Wishing all of you the very best, as I know how hard this final waiting period is.
Is there an alternative to the UPS / USPS thing for internationals? We guys can’t sign up for MyUPS nor can we track incoming packages
@rockyc last year they mailed packages the morning of the day decisions were released, so no one will see the package until decision day arrives.
@Golfmom17 that isn’t true because last year people were posting about receiving packages in March, the day after they got their decision online.
So it might come out today?
It might
Has Wash U ever announced RD results while the college is on spring break, which posters say starts this Monday? Or, is it normal for WUSL to announce RD results before their spring break i.e. today?
By the way, the Wash U admissions office IS open during spring recess so there is no guarantee decisions will be out today. They may very well come Monday or even later.
@HogMaw27 in recent history it has never cam out later than the 10th, but that doesn’t mean the trend won’t be bucked this year.
Here are previous RD decision release dates from @ADP2322:
2012 Decisions: Friday, 9th March
2013 Decisions: Friday, 8th March
2014 Decisions: Monday, 10th March
2015 Decisions: Monday, 9th March
2016 Decisions: Thursday, 10th March
2017 Decisions: ?
And here are the start dates of the WUSTL spring breaks as from their website:
2012 Spring Break: not listed
2013 Spring Break: not listed
2014 Spring Break: not listed
2015 Spring Break: Sunday, March 8th
2016 Spring Break: Sunday, March 13th
2017 Spring Break: Sunday, March 12th
This seems to disprove the theory that they won’t release over spring break considering 2015. I’m just as nervous as all of you, but in reality none of us know jack and we should all STOP CHECKING COLLEGE CONFIDENTIAL!
Omg it could be today
If according to previous years that WUSTL never release the decision later than Mar.10, today may still be possible. But I don’t know whether the counselor’s words about releasing on Monday is true or not. Just wait patiently!
Some counselors also told people on here that they’d be released yesterday, on Wednesday, etc. I don’t think anyone actually knows.
