<p>I’m a domestic student. I have a 29 ACT score and I have a 3.8 unweighted in an extremely competitive magnet high school. I showed a lot of demonstrated interest to my admissions counselor, had an interview, and visited the campus twice in a two week period. With a 33% acceptance rate this year, it’s quite obvious F&M cared deeply about fit and demonstrated interest.</p>
<p>I am going to guess that early notifications are sent to those who do not need a lot of aid. Anyone with information on that?</p>
<p>if you look at the FB admissions page - there are pictures of the decisions going to the post office today - envelopes both big and small!!!</p>
<p>I mean I applied for financial aid so i think this voids any sort of presumption on aid status having a bearing on when one hears back from the College.</p>
<p>myrtoz- I saw that!</p>
<p>Decisions aren’t posted online yet, I wonder if they will be before we get our letters. Hopefully they will arrive sooner rather than later!</p>
<p>Just got my decision. Wait listed! Got it through the mail</p>
<p>Where do you live?</p>
<p>Waitlisted from CT.</p>
<p>I’m from nj!</p>
<p>Accepted from PA!</p>
<p>D got a wait-list letter today. Not too disappointed, as she has been accepted at some peer schools. F&M is a wonderful school, and good luck to all those still waiting to hear.</p>
<p>Wait-list… NYC</p>
<p>D accepted in VA - very very happy!</p>

<p>my personal opinion is that F&M looks for “unique” kids. My dd was accepted last year, homeschooled, 2130 SAT, 3.95 GPA (uw), puppy raiser for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, , 4H dog club (participating and placing in regional events), lots of animal related ECS. She also submitted, as an extra, a powerpoint that included photos of her artwork (she paints sneakers, and makes jewelry from recycled items) short essays on some of her activities with photos and a short video of herself showing in the ring.</p>
<p>Her roommate is a dancer & photographer, who wants to be an archaeologist and has written articles about a class trip to Machu Picchu. Most of the kids she’s met seem to have some kind of specialty.</p>
<p>Did anyone get off wait list?</p>
<p>What day did you all hear?</p>
<p>It appears to be in the March 20-something range.</p>
