Acceptance Thread for 2008 Applicants

<p>My sat scores were bad, 1900 and sat 2 770, 670, but I think they're waiting for my IB result, it was predicted about 39~40/42. I wonder what my limit is for the IB exam.</p>

<p>^hahah. Those are really good predicted grades - you're from switzerland, right? Are you applying to schools in the UK? You'll get offers with those predicted scores.</p>

<p>I just called and they said they reached a decision without my semester grades... So either really good or really bad, and the decision will be released SOON. I have a 3.8 GPA at a very competitive boarding school, with a 2100... I'm scared!! I only got a 630 on my verbal SAT, which may have not been enough :(</p>

<p>thanks, I'm a Korean living in Switzerland. I did apply to UK and got three offers, a rejection and still waiting for one more...</p>

<p>Isn't 2100 good?? and your gpa is good too. My verbal score was 600, sats are so annoying...
anyway, good luck!</p>

<p>WOOT

I'm so glad, it took them a day from receiving my transcripts (ready for review) to this so i guess they're pretty quick. good luck everyone else!
Hey Bigtwix, One more student admitted from NorCal :)</p>

<p>Whoa thank you so much for putting ready for review bc I was freaking out</p>

<p>oh ya it went from items outstanding to ready for review yesterday since it was the first time i sent in any transcripts. it took 3 weeks for my transcript to be updated as received</p>

<p>Heartless tin,
"I think it's an offer...it says "Admitted Pending Final Results" I'm accepted, right??"</p>

<p>Yeah, that means you are accepted. I am not sure what pending final results means, but I am assuming it means that you must graduate, send APs, and that is it really (someone correct me if I am wrong).
Are you going to go to McGill you think?</p>

<p>I am almost positive I will be going.</p>

<p>Syzonin, congrats. Wait, did you say you are from Davis high?</p>

<p>Ahhhcollege, you should get in.</p>

<p>Collegeseeker221, it means they have looked at ur app and havent made a decision yet. You have the right stuff in, but you might be too borderline for them to make an acceptance yet. Good luck though.</p>

<p>I'm not sure whether I'll be going to McGill. I'm waiting for nine other universities, so I'll have to decide in April.</p>

<p>Oak Ridge High ~ I'm almost positive of going too, the money incentive is too great for my parents to reject :P</p>

<p>i can't wait to get them my midterm grades!</p>

<p>my ACT was 34 and SAT 2230, top 10% of my class- so based on this thread if they don't accept me i may be a little bit disappointed!</p>

<p>thanks Bigtwix, how did you find that out?</p>

<p>I emailed admissions two days ago asking what it meant and about how it takes for decision to be made and no one has responded.</p>

<p>^call them. they really weren't too much help, they were just like you'll get a decision soon, which makes me think that i didn't make the cut off for verbal.</p>

<p>If you haven't sent in your midterm grades will they not make a decision? I sent mine in two days ago so they won't get there for a few days.</p>

<p>^if your status is further review required, they care and will make a decision as soon as they recieve them. if it's decision pending, they made a decision without your grades and from what i gathered really couldn't care less.</p>

<p>Hey Bigtwix! Congratulations on your admission! Is McGill your #1?</p>

<p>yes it is:) Im so excited!</p>

<p>the lower gpa def gives me hope...bigtwix im pretty similar to your stats</p>

<p>freshman-sophomore years: 3.1
junior to senior: 3.7
act-30</p>

<p>sooo yeah a HUGE upward trend which i hope theyll notice, also my english grades are an A average for 10th, 11th and 12th, thats the major im applying to.</p>

<p>i even contacted the field hockey coach, they said they were really impressed by my stats and even though they already had 2 goalies they looked forward to talking with me closer to the summer and meeting me at tryouts. i doubt this will impact my acceptance/rejection, but it makes me feel like i tried and put in the effort. i told them it was my first choice too and i would definitely enroll if accepted.</p>

<p>i should probably try minerva again, it wouldnt let me log in evern though i did get the notification of application submission letter</p>

<p>fyi my total gpa isnt 3.7 now, thats just what it is for senior and junior years seperate from freshman and sophomore. i should have like a 3.3-3.4 after this semester.</p>

<p>Someone should make a facebook group. Hopefully I'll be able to join it soon :)</p>

<p>For those who faxed their mid-year grades, did you also send a cover sheet with signatures?</p>
