2018 Notification Guide

My mistake, very sorry. You’re right. No email from Taft. But yes form the others except Exeter

Phew…

@latinrules Thank you - glad to know we are not the only ones who have heard nothing!

There were two schools last year that we didn’t hear from about notifications until M8…FYI

I applied to Andover and haven’t received an email yet… should I be worried? @latinrules

I have only heard from only one out of seven schools I applied to.

@sophig Andover Only sent the confirmation email for us last year…and it said notifications were on portal in that email. We never got a separate one. FYI.

I’m old enough to remember Exeter’s epic notification glitch a few years back… The chaos surrounding that fiasco was a little insane. UGH. I really felt for families that day… there was so much confusion. And I vaguely remember something happening with Loomis notifications ( What was that? Was that about their notifications or WL ? ) and the Loomis DOA had to log in on CC and issue a clarification. I actually thought that was very nice. :slight_smile: Well done, Loomis!

Just know- if something goes haywire with a school email/portal generated notification on M10… just try to remain calm. It usually gets resolved pretty quickly. … somehow. Usually one brave CC parent will call the school directly and relay the information back here, and if that doesn’t happen there will be a thread up in less than three seconds alerting everyone that there’s a problem with a certain school… so stay tuned. :wink: And fingers crossed!

I received a confirmation mail mid february and it said we would be receiving more information on the portal and the exact time of the decision early march… @buuzn03

hmmmm

^^I’m not sure what the whole 9am/5pm thing is for Andover, but I can confirm the 9AM is definitely correct, they sent an email saying it would come out on Gateway. Can’t clarify the 5PM.

Does anyone know if Andover sends out the Fedex packages OUT on March 10 to ARRIVE on march 10?

Good luck everyone!! The last few days are so nerve-wracking!
