Can someone clarify the supplements required for me? DD applying ED2 if she doesn’t get in to ED1 school.
Is it 1 supplement asking why major? I know there’s an optional video of 90 seconds that they say is TRULY optional.

Hey I’m WashU class of 27. We got an email on December 7 saying decisions would be released on the 13th. Good luck!!
REQUIRED:
Please tell us what you are interested in studying at college and why.
Undecided about your academic interest(s)? Don’t worry—tell us what excites you about the academic division you selected. Remember that all of our first-year students enter officially “undeclared” and work closely with their team of academic advisors to discover their academic passions. You can explore all of our majors and programs on our website
OPTIONAL:
This optional question (250 words max) allows you to add another dimension to your application – something that the admissions committee might not learn by reading your transcript or your personal statement.
A. Discuss a fresh perspective or opinion you brought to a collaborative setting or project.
or
B. Describe a community you are a part of and your place within it.
or
C. Tell us how your identity has impacted the way you view or interact with your community.
OPTIONAL:
All applicants have the option to upload a 90-second video to help the Admissions Office get to know you better. This video is not intended to be a professional-quality production or rehearsed audition. Simply capture a quick video of yourself (cell phone is fine) telling us about something important to you.
Do you have a hobby you want to show us?
What you have learned about yourself?
When do you feel like your most authentic self?
Where do you spend your free time?
Why do you want to attend WashU?
Anything else would you like us to know about YOU!
The video allows you to add another dimension to your application – something that we might not learn by reading your transcript or your personal statement.
Thank you I did see all of that on their website. But when I go on the common app it only looks like they ask the why this major…I don’t see anywhere for these other essays. What am I missing?
There will be additional questions that come up to then drop in the optional essay. Have you filled out the application yet? You have to go through the motions to get to the additional field to drop that extra supplemental in.
I believe you can also add the optional one into the washu pathway portal after you apply.
any speculations on when ED1 is releasing? the wait is killing me
Just got an email. ED decisions come out next Friday. I’m guessing after 5 or 6p CT
Good luck everyone
I’m considering ED2. Just got rejected from Duke expectedly, my two dream schools were Duke and Hopkins but I think I have no chance at Hopkins ED2 or RD. I would prefer to stay in the south, and my intended career field is global health policy or environmental health research. Any insight as to whether WashU ED2 might be easier than Hopkins ED2? My parents are able and willing to support ED.
Idk the ED2 pool everywhere are top applicants who didn’t receive virtual confetti from an ED1 so the competition is fierce.
WashU advises to apply in the round where you will stand out.
If your high school has scoir or naviance scattergram data from past applicants to WashU i suggest you look at how students from your HS fared.
Sounds like you like Hopkins. Have read favorable stats from their ED2 rounds. Maybe apply there and save WashU for RD?
what are your stats, ecs, talents, abilities, awards?
what state are you in?
what type of HS do you attend?
My most updated chanceme: Chance me + Match me for ED2 - Hopkins, Emory, WashU, and others - #4 by observer33
I genuinely believe my chances of getting into Hopkins are zero, so I am desperate for something, anything…
I hear ya - in same boat if it’s a no from WashU
No idea what to do from there
I responded in the chance me thread…
Hi, does anyone know precisely what time decisions usually come out? I’ve been asking classmates but have got conflicting answers and am frankly too amped up from waiting. I just want to get it over with.
Not getting into Duke, or WashU or JH should not have you feeling desperate. There are literally dozens of schools that will likely give you just as good of a lifetime career outcome and that would love to have you.
It looks like you already have some FL schools. Why do you need an ED 2?
If you feel you must, some other options in the South that have ED 2:
William and Mary
Washington and Lee
Davidson
University of Richmond
Otherwise, I would wait and see what happens in RD and choose whichever feels the best.
decisions are posted in the pathway
just got mine!! thanks
Did you get in?
I was deferred >.< which is actually quite a relief, not sure why but I’m feeling very normal atm
Glad you can apply to other schools. -What were your stats? My niece is thinking of applying next year.
Rejected
