Carleton College Class of 2019 RD

Good luck to every one who applied!

I just got the mail that I got accepted!!! Good luck to everyone! (btw, I am an international applicant)

@orangepark Congratulations!

@orangepark Congratulations! from which country are you? Canada?

So I guess this means that decisions have already been mailed out.

S just got his acceptance via snail mail! Woot! Woot!

@dec51995 where do you live?

@orangepark Congratulations!!

@dec51995 Congratulations to your son, Yes, where do you live.

Also, what’s his major?

Minneapolis–interest in computer science–but not sure he told them that.

Oh, btw, he didn’t get any postcard saying anyone liked his essays but he got a great fin aid package, so no worries to others who have been stressing because they didn’t get a postcard.

Ack! Mail just arrived here in suburban Chicago, nothing from Carleton. Does anyone know if they send rejections snail-mail at the same time as they send acceptances?

@hs2015mom I don’t know the answer to your question, but I wouldn’t worry about not getting a letter today. Last year some people got acceptance mail as early as the 19th, and others didn’t even their big blue folders until after decisions had been released online (May 25th last year).

@alleycat2‌ Thanks, good to know. Kinda crazy-making, though.

I’ll receive mine next week, I guess. Asian here.

@hs3015mom Crazy making is right. Our older S graduated from Carleton in 2011. Now D15 has applied. Didn’t think I’d be this nervous for her–but they’ve been mailed, yikes.

@limner‌ D15…15th kid?

Was it a small letter or a package? Brother got something in the mail but I obviously don’t want to open it for him…

The acceptance packets are the big blue folders, I think, so would be 9x12.

@minastirith - Fellow Asian here. I feel your pain. If they’re using regular snail mail, I think I’ll have to wait till the 28th to see the decision online.

@NUmed2017 what state are you in?
