Class of 2014 - RD

<p>Hi guys!</p>

<p>I just got a notification that they'll send out decisions on March 22 at 11pm. Anyone applied there? What are your expectations?</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I believe the notification will happen on March 23 for international students only. Regular decision domestic notification have not been announced yet.</p>

<p>Just got an email saying decision will be released Thursday the 25th after 6pm. The last decision out of 10 applications. Long wait!!</p>

<p>lol i’ve been rejected. ah c’est la vie, it wasn’t among my top choices anyways. i guess the prestige and the ranking doesn’t mean anything when accepting students.</p>

<p>good luck everyone! :)</p>

<p>Well luluzg, I see from other threads you’ve been offered a scholarship at Union and you’re also waiting for Conn…congratulations. If by prestige and ranking you are referring to U.S. News et al I am not sure whether these things are cast in stone. Experience tells me one ought to take rankings with a grain of salt. For others who do have Wheaton as one of their top choices I believe the College has a very good reputation in New England. Certainly in my part of the world in the Far East I come across a great many people who know Wheaton well. Good luck to all those who want to go to Wheaton.</p>

<p>REJECTED (international). Wow, the letter didn’t start out as a rejection. They said that I was a very qualified candidate and that I fit in well, blah blah… Suddenly I got to the part saying “Unfortunately we can not offer you admission unless you up your financial contribution”. I have nothing against Wheaton but I’d rather go to another school than increase my contribution. Congrats to those who got in. For the rest, hang in there</p>

<p>@tchy</p>

<p>yes I was referring to U.S. News. So far I am admitted to Union (and Mount Holyoke but declined it coz of the finances) and waiting for decisions from Bard, Bates, Bowdoin, Connecticut and Hamilton. I am not bitter but I applied to Wheaton as my safety but I guess there are no safeties for int’s looking for FA. </p>

<p>@mossesgetch
Sorry to hear that. Hope some college will meet your need.</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone who is admitted, if you choose Wheaton I’m sure it’s gonna be a right decision. :)</p>

<p>Accepted!!! But no merit aid, so doubtful I’ll go because I did get money at several other schools. Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Regular decision as a Balfour Scholar (17,500/yr)</p>

<p>Accepted! Idk if I will go there, though.</p>

<p>Accepted! hahaha i forgot that i even applied here :P</p>

<p>Accepted as Int’l applicant…with FA, but the total cost is still HIGH…Geez Idk it I could afford the remainning still</p>

<p>If it isn’t affordable, guess it isn’t worth considering! Once these schools go up to about 52K/year & don’t respond with more grant money, how is it possibly worth it? If there is a gap and they don’t meet your need, then consider going someplace else! And how will they meet their yields? Usually about 30% from those who they offered admission! They need to fill those classrooms with those warm bodies, but if the money isn’t forthcoming, then obviously accepted applicants will go elsewhere!</p>
