I didn’t interview but I visited and met with the Choral Director who had me sing for her and wrote me a recommendation.
@tonroxmysox I just emailed my admissions counselor with the essay. And if you sign up for a campus visit, you can check a box requesting an interview. For local, I just got emailed for an opportunity for an interview
whoops, @waffles1234, sorry tonroxsox
@Epicorangeninja Who did you email and how did you find the alumni list?
@waffles1234 for interview or essay?
@Epicorangeninja Interview
So are decisions forsure coming out tommorrow?
@waffles1234 I think its a little to late now, but for the interview, I never actually sent an email requesting one. I just got a random email from WashU and it said that there was an opportunity to have an interview. I clicked the link for that and signed up and did my interview.
@tonroxmysox Are you Blair? That’s brilliant you sang at an informational interview - what a great idea. Always better live than in a tape. Stanford offers live auditions for their arts supp, and that was a fantastic experience for the kids.
@waffles1234 S submitted app mid Nov., received a generic form e-mail mid Dec from APAP (alumni interview program) about a date in jan where they were conducting local interviews. there was a sign up. interviewed in Jan. Interestingly, though, my S had friends who never received that e-mail. Additionally, even after he received a confirmation e-mail from WUSTL that his app was complete, he also received e-mails reminding him to submit his Common App before the deadline. It is almost like he has 2 profiles. there. Now that I read through all the posts about demonstrated interest, i believe we should have addressed that head on – maybe his demonstrated interest is in one profile, and his app in another. Who knows.
@Epicorangeninja Oh lol, I never got the link to interview. I think people in my area didn’t get it either.
I was never asked for an interview either.
@momtwo2 what is Blair?
@waffles1234 well, at least you have an excuse for that. Maybe there weren’t many alumni in your area? Did you visit campus?
@Epicorangeninja No, since my parents said that the plane tickets are too expensive. I went to every info session and talk to the admission counselor who came to my school during college fair though. I made sure I put my name down every time.
@waffles1234 Okay, well that’s good. WashU should, hopefully, take each individual’s situation into account as well when determining demonstrated interest.
@tonroxmysox oh so sorry. wrong school…. music school at Vandy. sorry. I think it is absolutely AWESOME that the choral director would have you sing. what an excellent opportunity.
@momtwo2 hopefully it really helps. I need it to compensate for my 2120 SAT, although my GPA is very good.
@tonroxmysox here’s hoping arts and good grades prevail over standardized testing! Let me know if you get in! Good luck 
DD’s only hope of getting in is her standardized test score @MomTwo2 lol
@gettingaclue okay… so now I’ve gone and done it. ;-( sorry…. My S has scores, grades, arts and EC…… but no demonstrated interest. hmmm… I guess I can only say: I hope you end up at the best college for you - which is the best fit…. ?? I tried
