Boarding School Applicants for Entry Year: 2012

<p>exactly :slight_smile: a whole month, and two days? darn.</p>

<p>Sup guys. How’s the wait?</p>

<p>Time has be going by super fast! 4 more weeks :)</p>

<p>Honestly, time isn’t going by fast enough! I’m beyond anxious for M10. Also, I’m not even sure if I will be in for the March 10th decision at one of my schools
 This whole process is giving me a lot of unnecessary anxiety.</p>

<p>What do you mean by you won’t be in for the decision? Like you won’t be home?</p>

<p>Twenty seven days people! Twenty seven days until March 10, 12:00 a.m.!</p>

<p>Hope the schools that snail-mailed last year will consider doing email too. It must be so difficult to get some decisions right away, and have to wait days for others.</p>

<p>^2kidsnoanswers - it is unlikely that you will have to wait days past march 10 to get responses. I recieved all letters (even non-acceptances) on the 10 or 11. I know that the 11 is a sunday, so some may come on the 12 this year.</p>

<p>Helloel: I completed my application a few days after the deadline. I then got an email saying that they review applications that were submitted after Feb. 1st “on a rolling basis, until spots are filled”. Therefore, I may not get a decision on M10. I’ll probably get it a few days, if not a few weeks after M10.</p>

<p>“I recieved all letters (even non-acceptances) on the 10 or 11.”</p>

<p>Do you live on the East Coast? If I live in California, do you think I will still receive my decision on March 10 or 11th?</p>

<p>If memory serves, I seem to recall at least one family last year still waiting on March 12 to hear news, and they lived pretty close to the school. I also seem to recall, generally speaking, that bad news arrived more slowly than the good news. As far a USPS mail goes, speed of arrival may depend on how close you are to a major city vs being in a very small town. I suppose severe weather could have an effect, too. I have had the experience of a letter being sent <em>priority</em> mail from an eastern suburb arriving on the west coast in only one day.</p>

<p>For me, acceptances came on the day, as did waitlists, but Andover and Exeter rejection letters came a few days later. I think in general, acceptance letters come within 1-2 days of March 10, if not on it. On a side note, I can’t wait for March 10!!!</p>

<p>As a newbie to the world of CC, I just wanted to pop in and say ‘Hi everyone’

What do you think counts as a ‘good sign’ as this point in the game?</p>

<p>Does anyone know the dates for Andover’s revisit days?</p>

<p>Why? Are you already planning your revisit? haha. No, I don’t know.</p>

<p>anyone applying to hotchkiss?</p>

<p>I am! :slight_smile: 10char</p>

<p>Cool! What grade are you applying for?</p>

<p>I am too !</p>

<p>Me third! Hotchkiss has such a gorgeous campus
