On the WashU '12 group on facebook, there has been someone who has been called too. And he's going for the next 4 years.

The calling process is done in rounds. WashU makes a first round of offers - depending on how many people accept their offer, subsequent rounds may or may not follow. They continue the process till they fill the freshman class.

hayan89, I think they would leave a message if you're not home.

Yes, they will leave a message. trackie10x - just because you did not get a call today does not mean you will not get one. Just remember there may be several rounds of calls, with some time between the rounds to give people enough time to make a decision as to if they accept or not. Good luck.

Did the people who got in do anything to increase their chances? (Letters of interest, additional recommendations, awards, etc.)

Also, did any of the people who have been called apply for financial aid?

Sorry...one more question: How long do they give people to decide once they've gotten the call?

bittersweet news...good to know that they are taking people from the waitlist...frustrating to know that you have not received a call...
