I haven’t seen an ED thread for this, so I decided to make one! Decisions are coming out this Friday and this wait is killing me.
I have a 14 ACT what are my chances?
How do you know they come out on Friday? I still have it as Sunday on my portal.
@Gromitismydog I got an email from admissions at the end of November saying that decisions will be released on Dec. 13th instead of the 15th
@owenbrennan Honestly I think that with a 14 ACT Carleton would be a higher reach, but if you’re confident with your GPA, recs, essays, etc. it’s definitely worth a shot. This is just what I think, Carleton is a reach for me too!
I’m sorry but a 14 ACT would be near impossible to get into anywhere, much less a school with a 23% acceptance rate like Carleton. It places you in the bottom 13th percentile of all test takers.
What happened guys?
I got accepted!
I GOT INN!
INTERNATIONAL STUDENT WITH A FULL RIDE.
SUPER EXCITED!!
Wow congrats @Shaheerjaffar!!!
Has anyone gotten the actual packet in the mail yet? I’m from Minnesota but I haven’t gotten it yet because it snowed a bit this past week
I received my acceptance packet yesterday!
I got in too!!! Just got my packet today!
Nice!! I found my packet in the mail yesterday too
what were your stats? @Holamiamigo and @Shaheerjaffar. it would be a great help if you could answer. Thank you!
@qazplm1 Some basic stats:
ACT 33
SAT 1460
UW GPA 3.8 (my school doesn’t do weighted gpas)
Best of luck to you!
@holaamigos Thankyou very much for your reply.
I have a sat of 1450 in a single sitting and a superscore of 1460( 690+770). Should I apply Ed2? I have already completed my high school and the result is quite good. Gpas in my school were also unweighted and my ongoing GPA would average to 3.9/4. What do you suggest? I am having a confusion about where I should be applying ED2. I really love Carleton college.
oh my god, I’m so sorry @holaamigos for tagging you.
The ids were similar so i got confused.

@qazplm1
if Carleton is your top choice and if comparing financial aid packages isn’t a concern, then I think you could definitely go for ED2. Have you visited the campus and experienced the environment? I think the fit is definitely important. Your stats are strong for Carleton since they’re in the 25th-75th percentile so you would also have a good chance if you decide on RD. But if Carleton is your top choice, I would definitely go ED2. Plus you get your decision a month earlier lol
I am international student. Hence financial aid matters a lot to me. I think I’ll be better off applying regular decision then. Thank you very much for your help. @Holamiamigo
