Carleton Class of 2021 RD Discussion Thread

Okay, so I don’t know if anyone has noticed this. But I just checked my portal, and there used to be all this extra text below the paragraph about them being old-fashioned and such, but now its gone. Does anyone have any idea what this would mean?

@chicagoo112 Me too! It’s probably for everyone as they start uploading decisions for Wednesday

@ricka8 ok awesome! Does anyone know if the letters will precede our online decision, or if we will find out online before we actually receive the letter in the mail?

Unless you live really close to Carleton you’ll definitely get the online decision first!

Do you mean this one?

“Call us old fashioned, but we still send out our admissions decisions by postal mail. Of course, we’ll also post your decision here within a few days of our official notification date, so feel free to check back here if you think your postal service is a bit slow. Still have questions about your application? Feel free to contact our office directly.”

Mine is still there below the pic.

Wait so our status portal will not be updated this Wednesday?!

@serwar473 It will! March 22 8PM!

Can someone please chance me?
SAT 1: 1380 (640 R + 740 M) (I know, it’s not impressive)
SAT 2: Chemsitry: 800 Physics: 780 Math L2: 720
GPA: 3.9 UW
TOEFL: 116/120
Rank: 3
ECs: -Leadership Training Program in Greece

  • Students Government president for 3 consecutive years (I sent Carleton a detailed resume on what I accomplished during these 3 years).
  • Worked with Mercy Corps and taught refugees.
  • Organised community service projects.
    Essays: Talk about the why I wanted to study abroad and my ambitions…

I come from Iraq (an underepresented country) and I believe I am the only applicant from Iraq. This is why my ECs aren’t that impressive; we do not have anything to do here.

Please be as honest as you can be, it won’t hurt me if you say anything negative about my chances.

@serwar473 our decisions will have no effects on your admissions tomorrow.

Let us all wait patiently. Goodluck! @serwar473

Yup! waiting, waiting patiently.

Am I the only one who feels they learned a lot about themselves and in a way matured throughout the college application process?

Me, too. Contemplating essay questions definitely makes me rediscover myself. Hope Colleges and Universities love the “True Me”.

Today is the day… fingers crossed…

Good luck everyone!

we’re gonna need it @drakefan

As the mom of a former Carl, good luck!

Well I’ll be sleeping and I’ll wake up around decision time, see you on the other side of the world hahaha

fingers crossed.
good luck for everyone

Hey everyone! Wishing you all the best of luck today. :slight_smile:
