2018 Notification Guide

^sorry @AllSmiles2 that “link” verbiage was just what was on the list from the original creator of the list. SAS states on their website that decisions (and FA decisions) are mailed M10. So, it appears they will mail out via snail mail. If anyone who applied there gets information otherwise directly from the school, let me know and I will edit the list.

@buuzn03 seems like I’ll be waiting in front of the mailbox all day…thanks for the info!

when does Pennington come out with there decision and is it on the portal?

@bsmom2004 , It’s been quite a few years now, but George decisions went up on the portal at midnight.

Andover: Available on Gateway 9:00 am ET…FedEx acceptances mailed M10 → snail mail deny/waitlisted…check email: decision at 9am, March 10 on Andover web portal

Deerfield: M10 email between 6:30 and 8 AM EST → Followed by a letter

Choate: M10 3:00 PM EST on GoChoate ->Followed by a letter

Exeter: Email on M10 @ 6:00am ET/Exact time frame from email-> Letter/package to follow

Groton - M10 @ at 8 a.m in Portal

Middlesex: M10 @ 9:30 AM

@applier1 what is different about the info in the list posted and yours? I don’t see one but I may be missing something?

@buuzn03 I think it may be a list of the notifications for the schools @applier1 applied to.

Do any schools send packages/brochures/decision letters via snail mail internationally? I live in the Middle East, and I’m not sure what to expect.

@brassarrow I live in Asia, and Andover and Deerfield were the only schools that mailed me actual packages; the rest just emailed/had online viewbooks.

I would think any initial decisions would be made available electronically for most schools as noted in the above list. Acceptances would follow, however, with contracts, etc via mail. Anyone else know otherwise?

@altablue This year?

Lake Forest Academy is March 1.

@altablue do people living in the US get actual
packages from every single school? i’m from asia too. how did you receive all the forms that you’re supposed to fill out to enroll?

Typically you get a package if you’ve been accepted. A waitlist or rejection is just a letter, but sometimes just an email.

@revellodream everything is online, i believe. i used the gateway/sao for all my applications

Do packages for acceptances arrive on M10 or after? I know Andover’s arrive on M10 but what about others?

Most schools last year did notifications, good or bad, electronically on M10. Acceptance packages were received a few days after…

M10 seems so far away. i can’t stand it.

When do the schools send the emails with links and times - for example, Loomis, Exeter, etc?

@BamaMomandDad Look at the list above- Most have times on them. Also, the schools will normally be sending an email to applicants (around this time) which will tell you when the portals will open/emails sent.
