12 is way larger than their usual, no? They must be expecting a lot of rejections from that pile

isn't there a mod for these kind of scenarios? no one needs to be reading this, at a certain negative reputation you shouldn't be allowed to post anymore

the portal hasn't budged an inch since my payment was received, just awful to go through

Is WashU notifying via email? I haven't even been rejected and it's stressing me out, just reject me already!!!

WashU is killing me

AdComs never read with an eye for a lot of detail, they have to check >5 docs per applicant, with >100 applicants, many more in some cases. They check for markers of good writing, independent critical thinking and quant-focused work, not the details of such documents. Your MA/MSc thesis is good IF it checks those boxes

At least two programs (WUSTL & Pitt) haven´t sent out rejections, I'm assuming soft rejection because it seems that all acceptances are already out

Does anyone have insight into the rationale behind the recent cohort reductions? I’m curious if these are blanket cuts across the board, or if specific subfields are being prioritized and left untouched while others are being scaled back?
