<p>I don’t think notifications are coming out later this year than other years. In 2011, the first acceptance reported on CC was on April 28th. </p>
<p>Good luck, everyone - it’s that time of year for acceptances!</p>
<p>Does anyone know the answer to @chinkadink’s question? How long is it going to take to reject everyone except the 36? And how long is it going to take after that before they finally whittle it down to 12?</p>
<p>I don’t think anyone knows 
I just emailed Dr. San Francisco to ask for an estimated time frame in which we would receive notification so I hope he’ll reply tomorrow</p>
<p>Yesterday, DS got the same e-mail as jasmineRose’s DD on post #440.</p>
<p>Got my rejection email today. Good luck to finalists!!(:</p>
<p>Sorry to hear, sardonyx. What time did the rejection come? And did you get a reply to your email yet from Dr SF saying how long it’ll take to reject everyone?</p>
<p>I got it at 2:11pm. And I did not receive a reply, but I will post here again if I do hear back!</p>
<p>Thank you! :)</p>
<p>Well, I haven’t received a rejection yet. So I guess that’s good.</p>
<p>This is really stupid how they send rejections in batches. No other program does this. It just makes the people in the end build up false hope until they finally get rejected :(</p>
<p>Anybody figured out a pattern in the rejections yet ? Few years ago they thought it was by last names but it wasn’t right.</p>
<p>My child hasn’t got news yet. Last name starts letter H.</p>
<p>My last name starts with L.</p>
<p>Could it be by region? I’m from the Northeast</p>
<p>Still waiting from a response here in Texas.
Although I haven’t officially committed to another program yet, it’s becoming more and more likely that if I get into Clark’s, I’ll simply reject the invitation.</p>
<p>Why? Did you get into somewhere better?</p>
<p>friend at my school (TX, last name Z) got her rejection today…</p>
<p>maybe its in the order in which they received the application? like a stack, LIFO?
I have yet to get my rejection (last name L) so who knows whats going on</p>
<p>are acceptances all by phone?</p>
<p>@researchin the acceptances in the past have usually been by phone. I’m not sure about this year though, but it’s probably the same.</p>
<p>@chinkadink: HSHSP. Awesome program, more people to share ideas and experiences with, and I get to get out of the South for a bit. With financial aid, HSHSP isn’t much to pay for, either.</p>
<p>@Hoctopi- Congrats on HSHSP (:</p>
<p>Got my rejection at 11:03. It’s a complete regurgitation of last year’s rejection minus the part about applying again next year since I am a senior. You’d think they could have come up with at least slightly different wording. Regardless, good luck to everyone who has not yet received word! I hope those that get in have a fantastic summer!</p>
