<p>When you call the Wash U admissions office after hours, you get a recording that says that they are still accepting applications past the Jan. 15 deadline. What is going on? It’s now 9 days past the deadline!</p>
<p>Maybe they’re trying to allay the fears of the people that sent their apps in by the 15th and because of the confusion with the holiday realized that their apps didn’t get there in time?</p>
<p>It doesn’t sound that way, eleph. The message says “if you are calling about the Jan 15 deadline, it is still possible to send in your application. We encourage you to postmark and send in your application as soon as possible…”</p>
<p>oh…hmmmm…that is interesting…</p>
<p>Yeah, that is weird. Aren’t they trying to underadmit this year?</p>
