I wouldn’t read too much into anything. I interpreted War Eagle Day as a marketing ploy to make kids feel wanted. Your son will have great opportunities

Agreed. S24 is a national merit semi-finalist with a 1540 SAT and 4.0 unweighted GPA. We did not get invited. We are also OS so not sure if that makes any difference - we are in the NE and therefore may be less likely to attend.

Anyone know anyone who has gotten into Auburn that’s not a super genius ?? Like I don’t know, maybe 3.65 Gpa with a bit of a rigorous schedule ?

A little over 10% were admitted and enrolled with a GPA in that range for the 2022 admission cycle.

Hello
OOS
S24 invited to WED

4 on all AP exams

The kid was so excited getting the WED invitation. He said his heart hurt and he had to sit down. Auburn is his number one choice and I want him to be accepted. He has a big heart and is friends with everyone. I am hoping Auburn reciprocates the love and accepts him.

We are going to War Eagle Day on Oct 27. Flying in Oct 26.
We really have to do a deep dive into AU.
Other acceptances came in last week. A BIG future decision coming up.

Any ideas when we will start to see decisions roll out? Does anyone know when they came out last year?

I heard last year was on 10/14 around 5 pm ET. It feels like a loooooong wait
My daughter applied a week or so ago and she did not realize there was pre-PT vs Pre-Med major at time of submission. She just updated her major in the applicant system. Do you think this will cause an issue? Based on what I’m seeing, I think Auburn is a long shot for her since she applied TO, so may be a non-issue.
TOP Performers regardless of In State or OOS by Sat Oct 14th. I was told by our Auburn Recruiter. However, she did say it could be as early as “TODAY” forward.

If she applied a week ago then she will be in the next EA round (the first round deadline was 9/15).

Historically, the first round of early action notifications come out mid October (it was Oct 14 last year…at the very end of day!). I have never heard any “top candidates” hearing before everyone else, so I would suspect one big round of emails will go out middle to late next week.
Good luck to everyone…and War Eagle!

I could be completely wrong, but I dont think TO makes it a long shot. From reading last years acceptance stats many got in TO. My daughter is also TO so I will be interested to see as well. But my daughter is also a 4.0 uw / 4.2 w

Unfortunately, Auburn isn’t truly TO, and I do think applicants are at a slight disadvantage applying without test scores. Since they had such a large increase in applicants over the past few years, they have started to only consider test scores and GPA for admissions, so without test scores, I think it makes it even harder to evaluate.
Not entirely sure how to interpret this information, but Auburn says last year the acceptance rate for early action periods was 44% for a total of 20,000 acceptances, with less than 9% admitted under the university’s test-optional pathway.
Not sure if that means 9% of TO applicants were accepted, or if 9% of the 44% accepted were TO, but either way, it’s not ideal. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s a long shot for anyone, but something to consider when deciding on submitting scores or not.
My daughter has friends who got in with some pretty “average” ACT scores…

Correct @Hlauburn Our AU recruiter told us straight up “SUBMIT TEST SCORES”. She went on to say TO is a “touchy-feely” attitude and is designed to be more inclusive. Additionally, she told us AU will NOT be TO come next year for Fall 2025 applicants,
