<p>am applying early to MHC...only 10 days to go to know the outcome....</p>
<p>nyone can tell me exactly what kind a person this college is looking for?
I definitely like this place, but I sort a feel that my character doesn't match it well (maybe Im a too serious person) and they'll just reject me for it.
I also made some tiny word mistake in my essay and really feel bad about it.</p>
<p>Just heard ppl say they use current students to read applications, true?</p>
<p>i don't know how much help this response will be, because 1) i'm a hs senior and 2) i'm applying regular decision...i think. A friend of mine is applying ED, she is sweet, bubbly, enerjetic, bright, but most of all a caring soul. she never fails to make those around her happy too. i also got that overall impression from the holyoke student who gave me my tour. </p>
<p>as for your "word mistakes" in your essay- i wouldn't stress over it too much, keep in mind that each member of the admissions committee reads around 30 applications a day, each with at least 1 essay, they aren't going through your diction and syntax with a fine-toothed comb! Good luck with holyoke!</p>
<p>I applied ED too and I am very nervous. I heard somewhere that MHC have more than one person reads the applications so I wouldn't doubt if some students read them. I was at MHC for an interview late October and a senior interviewed me (who was very friendly and nice).
I love MHC so much.
Let's hope we get in. ::crossing fingers::</p>
<p>Only several days to go, hehe
Just go write essays for RDs and keep busy, then we won't feel THAT nervous</p>
<p>BTW,ppl seem to have forgotten here 'cuz only a few have come....</p>

<p>I didn't have an interview since there was no alum at my area
hope it doesn't hurt my chance =/</p>
<p>When are they sending the letters out? and have they already compiled the admission stats for ED?
i'm expecting a thin envelope soooooon.</p>
<p>One of the admission officer told me in the chatroom that the notifications will be sent on Dec. 19th (this coming Sunday!) so you will probably know sometime next week. I live fairly close (less than 20 or 30 miles) from MHC and I usually get my MHC mail in a day or two.
And mercurialgirl, why a thin envelope? Don't be pessimistic!</p>
<p>Santalove: All but one of my other RD schools' deadlines aren't till mid Jan or early Feb... so no worry about the essay. And I think I am recycling my MHC essay for all the other colleges. Recycling is always good...</p>
<p>Do you think the decision has already been made?</p>
<p>yes, probably.</p>
<p>They do work on Sundays???
I thought they only worked on weekdays</p>
<p>I read something on the dailyjolt forum a while back that they got their decisions on the 19th last year (which was a saturday, i think) My <em>guess</em> is that they're mailing the letters out on the 18th or the 20th. So, we should have the letter in our hands by the 22nd at the latest.</p>
<p>Yeah Yeah 20th PLSSSSSSS</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone!!</p>
<p>My D applied ED to Mount Holyoke and is now living by the mailbox. It is a wonderful school warm, friendly, and academically rigorous. Good luck to all those who have applied ED, the mailing should go out in the next few days.</p>
<p>Do you thinkthe decisions HAVE ALREADY BEEN MADE???
Me too, I go to MHC website everyday, check new info,watch the Oxygen vedio and take online campus tour etc...I wish I could visit the campus but I live sooo far away....</p>
<p>how short is the Why MHC short essay meant to be? Please help!</p>
<p>there isn't really a rule on it I guess....
Just tell them what you want to tell, about y you love this college and certain departmen/sport there etc</p>
<p>I wrote two paragraphs for each short answers, and went a little over the word limit for the essay. I don't think they really care THAT much about the length as long as it is well written.</p>
