2018 Notification Guide

@Summer1974, only 18 days!

@buuzn03 - Thanks for responding - that was my actual question, we are beyond midFeb for emails - we haven’t received emails from schools regarding times. Is this info from previous years? Emails applicants have received this year? the websites I checked do not have the times. Any insight much appreciated - thanks!

^it is a bit of both. I have modified it as applicants have gotten new information, but the original list was from last year. Have you checked the “portal” of the schools you applied to? I just looked through our emails from last year (yes, I am a documentation hoarder). We received most of our emails about notification date/times/methods after March 1 (PA, MX, Groton, Westminster, LC, Lawrenceville, Deerfield). Hotchkiss was the only early one and Milton sent theirs 2/24. So, don’t panic yet if you’ve not received them. Also, some schools tuck the notice in the “application is complete” email. I hope this helps.

My twins are in on the count down until blast off…March 10th too.

Learned that DS is making the acceptance video for his school! Wish I had applied, so I can see it! Oh wait…they’d have to have accepted me, too…oh well.

Does anyone know about Pennington decision? how it comes out, email or postal mail?

Yes, @buuzn03 - thank you!

15 days and counting…

Two weeks from tomorrow!

Tick tock goes the count down! Our kids will make it to BS.

I’m so excited! I think I’ll need to be hospitalized if I’m not accepted into any schools! Who knows if a year from now I’ll be waiting for my second M10 or attending a BS (yay!)

Heck, I’ve even had dreams of M10. Curse you M10!! Nobody knows if it’s a nightmare or a dream come true!

@brassarrow funny you should mention that! DSs acceptance video last year was “a dream” and at the end of it, the Admissions Director said “wake up! This time it is NOT a dream! You’ve been accepted!!”

Hopefully! With the timezone difference, M10 will be a school day for me. I’ll have to resist not checking the decisions on my school’s computers. Whether I’m accepted or rejected, I’ll probably be a mess.

Speaking of dreams, I’ve dreamt of being accepted to Taft. I’m not even applying to Taft!

*The sleep kind of dreams, not ambitions!

Can anyone give me a link for Blair and Portsmouth Abbey’s admission portal? Also, I haven’t got a “your application is completed” email but the admission office answered me back saying that my applications were complete. Does this affect my chances?

We didn’t get those link emails from most schools until the first week of March last year

Thanks!

Does Kent send out “your application is complete” emails?

Yeah, I got one on January 15.

Two weeks! Just this week, and then another! I can’t tell if I’m excited or terrified. If I don’t get into any schools, I’ll probably be struck with long-term depression and a daily bout of tears for the following year. Ahh, M10, the Satan of BS.
