has any international student seen such changes in dates on their portals as well?
No I didn’t
The processing date for my FAFSA didn’t change. Guess that’s a rejection then?
I thought only dates that the information were RECEIVED are shown. Or?..
the update says FAFSA (processed by Dept of Ed) along with a pretty recent date
I suggest not reading into it. I’ve had pretty bad luck with reading into these things in the past and it never worked out. Something similar happened with Brown FA a week before decisions came out (deferred). I applied to Tufts EDII and close to when decisions were released some people had the option on their portal to send in their enrollment deposit (it was fully functional and everything). I got that option, and I read into it because a lot of people didn’t get it, and guess what? Deferred. I urge you all not to get your hopes up! Don’t let your judgement be clouded because you think that these are hints that you were accepted. Just wait until 6PM. Don’t read into it, that leads to even more disappointment if you don’t end up getting in.
@biochemgirl99 Then I guess it’s for US citizens only.
@Raku is it 5pm EST or 7pm EST? I got an email last week saying 7pm but unsure if the time was updated? Just want to get it over with at this point lol
Is first-gen only a hook if you’re low income? I didn’t apply for FA (becasue we never got it with my siblings, so it was pointless) . Does anyone know if they always link the two. Just asking because i actually am first-gen, but i didn’t apply for FA, so does that hook still count? They would get to factor it in to their stats, so maybe?
Pretty sure first gen is a look no matter your financial background @Ashtash
@otrastudying Hopefully it helped…good luck for admissions! I really have hope for Bowdoin, so I’m hoping they pull through!
Once again, best of luck to you!
Is it 5pm or 7pm eastern?
@JulianMarsh It is 7PM. Their email said 7PM.
@Ashtash My D got waitlisted at Wash U and U Chicago- I think I saw you on both of those threads. She is really hopeful about Bowdoin. Seems like you applied to a lot of the same schools as my D. This process has been so anxiety provoking. Anyway, I hope you get great news tonight!
@caspiancat Congrats to your D on the waitlist offers! Although I know it’s not the desired outcome, it certainly shows she’s qualified for those schools:) I sadly got rejected from WUSTL and waitlisted at UChicago!
I really do love Bowdoin, and I am looking forward to seeing the decision. I just wasn’t thinking and didn’t interview in time though!! Ahh!
Anyway, thank you for the well wishes! Best of luck to your daughter in the rest of her college process!
A little less than 10 minutes to go! How’s everyone holding up? This process has been brutal in the anxiety department for both my D and me. Hope we get to share good news with each other.
Sending love to everyone in this thread! You are all probably crazy qualified and what a few AOs think about you doesn’t ultimately matter in the end. Virtual hug
Wow accepted
Rejected after being waitlisted from Colby …
My D got in!!!
