Please chance me for Mount Holyoke College Early Decision II. The deadline is coming soon and I’d really love to enter this school so I’ll be really grateful if you could kindly give me some suggestions.

New SAT 1440 (Maths 760, Reading & Writing 680)

GPA (/4.0): 9th grade: 3.8, 10th grade: 3.84, 11th grade: 3.72, cumulative: 3.8

Lots of national academic achievements, including:

  • Top 2, top 7 and top 9 nationally, top 3 and 13 regionally in English
  • Top 5 nationally in Maths
  • A literary commentary published in a newspaper’s special issue

Extracurricular activities focus on Communications:

  • Vice President and Communication Manager of a charity club
  • Vice President & Head of Promotions Team of a studying abroad club
  • Silver Ambassador of Goodwall
  • Promotions Consultant of a Literature Camp
  • Delegate in 2 MUN conferences
  • Translator for doctors from Laos and Thailand

I have a good relationship with my teachers so my recommendations may be fine. My writing is also good so my application essays may make an impression. My personal statement will be about my bond with my hometown & homeland and my struggle to overcome the difficulties of growing up in an undeveloped area.

I’m able to afford 12K/year and I have a very strong Vietnamese personality. I’ll be really grateful if you can make some suggestions so that I can make the best decision for my future. Thanks lots!

Hi Gloria, I think the problem wouldn’t be your admissions qualifications but possibly the amount you can pay. You aren’t a US citizen, correct? In either case, MHC does give both need-based and merit aid to international students – it’s just hard to project what that would be.

3

I think you have a pretty decent shot! What did you write for your essay?

4

Hey Gloria,
Hope you are doing great! Was very.much impressed by your qualifications and wanted to find out how your application process to Mount Holyoke is going on.

5

@gloriapham are the decisions out? How did your application go?

6

Do i have a good shot with 3.75 gpa and 9-10 ECS very good essay and supp and recs? I did submit my sat but my score is way below average:/

7

My D got an early write today!

8

@Veryapparent So did mine! I’m hoping this will make her consider Mt. Holyoke more strongly!!

9

@wrenwu Congrats to yours! It was a total surprise. I didn’t think they sent out early writes!

10

My daughter got one too and was equally surprised!

11

@Veryapparent - Me neither! Where else is your daughter looking?

12

@wrenwu She applied to a lot of schools. A few ivies, a few women’s college and the rest are all small LACs. How about yours?

13

Hi. Did the early writes come in the mail, or email? If by mail, what date was on the letter? Lastly, we’re on the west coast. Are you also, or closer to MHC? Thanks!

14

@Veryapparent Mine too. She was accepted EA to University of Michigan (and the Honors College today) and she has applied to a few Ivies. Her heart is with Scripps - she really loved the campus and the vibe. My heart is with Brown (where her brother is) but it will be her choice! I think the sweet email from Mt. Holyoke really made her think though!

@Westcoaster2018 she received an email this afternoon

15

@wrenwu – my D got the early write for Mt. Holyoke today too and is very interested in Scripps as well. Also Barnard and some other places. And she’s been invited to Honors program at UNC-CH. Similar path to your daughter it seems! Congrats!!

16

@AlmostThere2018 Yes! Congrats to your daughter on Mt. Holyoke. My D applied to Barnard as well! Good luck with the process - it’s all starting to ramp up!

17

My daughter got her early write by email today! Yeah! Already has an early write from Smith. Heading to Northamptton for visits later this month!

18

anybody know when decisions are going to be released? for the past couple of years theyve released on the third friday of march, which would be next friday… im so anxious to know i feel like i’m going crazy!

19

Last 3 years it was 3rd Thursday. Which is today. Anxious for my daughter to hear.

Yeah I saw the same thing from last year, but I guess they are doing it a different day this year. It’s getting late…
