2018 Notification Guide

Hey, if anyone here has been through the process before: does Andover and Exeter send out email instructions about how to access admission results? Or are the results just sent by email? I previously thought it was going to be like St. Paul’s, where they send you an email with a username and password where you can log into their personal portal to check out results, but now I’m not too sure.

Andover will send out an email…it came just a few days before M10 last year

Thanks!

Why do some schools notify on March 9th? Does anyone know?

@Golfgr8 I am no authority on the subject, but one of the schools sending admission decisions on March 9, stated that they were doing so because March 10 falls on a Saturday this year. I am assuming this school prefers conducting business only on business days.

M10 is only a “rule” for the Ten Schools Admission Organization (TSAO) members:

Choate Rosemary Hall
Deerfield Academy
The Hill School
The Hotchkiss School
The Lawrenceville School
The Loomis Chaffee School
Phillips Academy
Phillips Exeter Academy
St. Paul’s School
The Taft School

All other schools can do as they wish. Some have adopted M10 as a convention to align with the TSAO schools, but are not bound to that date.

I was just wondering, what do the online results look like? Do they just tell you whether you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected or do they explain the reason why they accepted/waitlisted/rejected you?

They just inform you the decision. It’s not personalized (sadly) @Totorocinnamon03

@Totorocinnamon03, sometimes the letters/packages that the schools send out are personalized.

@buuzn03 I’ve added The Gunnery and fixed Tabor.

This is SO helpful…thank you!

What schools use FedEx?

Has anyone received an email from Exeter yet on how to access decision this year - or will they just send a A/D/W email on M10? Applications got moved to Gateway this year, so is there even an online portal?

Hey can someone who already went through the process tell me how the decision for PA will look like? I also didn’t really understand why two different times (5PM and 9 AM) were mentioned? I’m already very anxious and try not to think about it as much, I don’t know what to do with myself hahah. Good luck to everyone!

Exeter is also the only school that I have applied to that hasn’t sent an email yet with instructions for march 10. Also applied to Andover, Choate, Hotchkiss, Groton and Taft. Received emails from all of them. I guess Exeter does their own thing that morning. The waiting is awful!

@latinrules I also applied to Taft and haven’t received any emails…
