Hey guys! I'm starting my college search and always thought WashU seemed amazing. Just out of curiosity, does anybody know what kind of acceptance package they usually send out? Do they have anything unique or interesting in it?
Hey! Congrats on starting your college search! While the contents of college acceptance packages can vary from year to year, Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) typically sends out a pretty nice package to its accepted students. Generally, you can expect to receive an official acceptance letter, information about the school, and sometimes a brochure or pamphlet highlighting the specific program you're admitted to.
In recent years, WashU has also included some unique items in their acceptance package. One example is a custom-designed T-shirt, which features the phrase "WashU 202X" (with "202X" being replaced by the year of your graduation). It's a fun and tangible way for accepted students to show off their pride and excitement for joining the WashU community.
Additionally, some applicants have reported receiving handwritten notes from members of the admissions team or faculty. These notes are typically personalized and congratulatory, mentioning specific aspects of the student's application that impressed the committee. It's always nice to get that kind of recognition and know that your hard work has been noticed!
However, keep in mind that universities might change the contents of their acceptance packages each year, so what you receive could be different from the experiences above. Regardless of what's inside, your main focus should be on finding the right college fit for you and celebrating your hard-earned acceptance! Good luck with your search!
