Applying to HWS for regular decision

<p>Congrats to you macnell! What are your son’s stats? Is this his first choice? Where else did he apply? We have no news today either, cbear! Maybe they send the letters that are further away first? Keep the faith!</p>

<p>I got the big package from HWS on Monday. I live in New England…last name in first half of alphabet.</p>

<p>Congratulations allabout! Were you Reg Decision? Did you apply/receive Trustee , Arts, Faculty , etc schols? Is it your first choice?</p>

<p>Can you possibly post your sons stats? Thank you for the update!</p>

<p>Nada. No news yet here in So Cal. Any other west coasters waiting?</p>

<p>feismom17, our son scored 1450/2100 on the SAT’s, SAT II - Chem 800, Math Level II 760, Latin 750. His HS doesn’t rank or show unweighted GPA, so the only GPA he has is his 4.30 weighted. As far as first choice… he was fortunate to apply to 6 schools that he felt fit him very well and he has said he thinks he’d be happy at any of them. Almost all share similar qualities ( small liberal arts college with strong academics, healthy science dept, within walking distance to a small or moderate sized town, campus with a strong sense of community, cold weather winters with snow probability, etc). HWS is the first college to send out acceptances, so he still has to wait on the decisions of the remaining 5 and then look at each financial aid package of the colleges that admit him. He’s been very pragmatic through the entire process. The only hard part is waiting!</p>

<p>No news yet :frowning: I really hope it comes tomorrow!</p>

<p>IN!!! SoCal–Los Angeles. Beautiful folder. Scholarship and FinAid package, with explanatory brochure. Letter describing the deposit. And a certificate. One happy girl! Best of luck to everyone.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info macnell! Good luck to your son- sounds like he has a lot of good options- We didn’t receive anything in the mail again today (friday)- hoping we get something tomorrow also- otherwise I will have 48 hrs more of waiting which is just killing me! I think Hobart is my daughters first choice and we are praying for a good pile of money so she can go there- ! Crossing fingers and toes tonite again ! Anyone else out there got news from HWS yet for regular decision? Please do share !</p>

<p>Thanks for the update Momneeds! Which scholarships did your d get and was it a large envelope ? (sounds like it is?)
Congrats to your daughter !</p>

<p>Large envelope postmarked Feb 26 from zip 14456. Don’t give up just yet. D applied legacy which is supposed be a tiny bit earlier in notifications.</p>

<p>If everything was in but my CSS profile came in later (early February) could that disqualify me from scholarships?</p>

<p>deadline for CSS as stated on their website is Feb 15 so you are good-</p>

<p>Yes I was RD and received the Trustee. </p>

<p>I’m confused as to why HWS only considers those who attend their March 28 reception for the full tuition scholarship. I’m sure there are other students like myself who either have previous commitments or are not able to make the trip for financial reasons (which is why I applied for the scholarship in the first place).</p>

<p>March 28 also happens to be the universal notification date for the Ivy League schools- I think it is a strategic move for HWS trying to weed out those who are really wanting to go to Ivys and forcing their hand!</p>

<p>Dreams came true! Trustee Scholar and Arts Scholar ! Reg Decision -end of alphabet! Good Luck to all of you still waiting! Arrived today- postmarked March 1st</p>

<p>Still no news :frowning: Here’s hoping notice will come on Monday! At this point, I just want to know either way :)</p>

<p>Allabout- My d also cannot attend due to a school trip to Europe over the holiday break- I plan to call admissions anyways- worth a try ! Crossing fingers for you cbear! Keep the faith!</p>

<p>Still no news. Is this normal? I just really want to know either way :(</p>

<p>Can anyone get onto the hobart portal. Once I log in and hit “application status” I continually get an Oracle, People Soft Enterprise issue! Is this just me, or does everyone have this issue? Thanks guys!</p>
