<p>Please use this thread for discussion on this years admissions decisions.</p>
<p>7 words: All the best to all of us! :D</p>
<p>When do decisions come out?</p>
<p>^ March 30th at 5 pm (that pertains for all the Ivies).</p>
<p>The anticipation is killing me. I keep on waking up like every hour. All I want is for one college to accept me.</p>
<p>^^ I didn’t apply to Brown, but I have several friends who did, and apparently their decisions are coming out at 7 PM EST. (Fun fact.)
Good luck everybody!</p>
<p>^Not exactly. Brown emailed all applicants a few days ago with the time they should check their decisions. I got 5 PM EST, some got 6, and others 7. There is some debate as to whether there are regional factors or whether it is completely random. It is definitely an attempt to prevent servers from crashing. Either way, I am thankful I got 5 PM!</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone!! Hopefully we all get it in!!</p>
<p>Princeton seems impossible now because I did screw up my interview. >.<
All the best for the rest of you!!!</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it too much BluWand, I’ve heard time and time again that an interview has very little bearing on the actual decision – and interviews always go better than you think they did, anyway. :)</p>
<p>Good luck, everyone!!</p>
<p>Good Luck to all! 
can’t wait until next week…</p>
<p>Well, D was wait-listed at Univ of Chicago and Northwestern (even though she interviewed for HPME there). With those schools’ acceptance rates being around 25% we are feeling pretty glum on the possibility on getting into Princeton, Harvard, or Yale now since their rates are around 6%. Ever hear of applicants being wait-listed or rejected at U of Chicago or NU then getting into the Ivies? Thoughts?</p>
<p>Someone on the Yale thread was rejected by UChicago (possibly waitlisted, though I’m fairly sure it was rejection) but got into Yale RD, so there’s that. It also bears mentioning that admissions are often unpredictable - everything depends on a) how a college conducts its admissions process (score-driven v holistic) and b) what they are looking for that year. Also, just because your daughter was waitlisted doesn’t mean she’s not qualified or in a good place to be accepted to these places. Again, I stress that admissions is subject to so many factors, some that may have nothing to do with your daughter personally (how the admissions counselor feels that day, possible bias, and overall “connect” with certain applicants). Plus, colleges only waitlist candidates they think are qualified to attend their school if they have room–while they may not have been selected first round, they are “good enough” to be looked at again and possibly to attend.</p>
<p>I was waitlisted at Vanderbilt (tough year–15% acceptance rate), but I’m going to try not to let that determine my attitude. Some schools (and Vandy has definitely admitted to doing this) under-admit their class (why they do this, I’m not sure). Don’t give up hope yet!</p>
<p>Here’s a link to the thread where the rejection was discussed: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/yale-university/1095279-official-yale-2015-rd-countdown-thread-10.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/yale-university/1095279-official-yale-2015-rd-countdown-thread-10.html</a></p>
<p>Justamom42, it means nothing. It really is so random. I’ve seen kids get rejected or waitlisted at schools like George Washington and then get accepted by Harvard. Good luck!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Fear not! It does happen. I was waitlisted by U Chicago, accepted at Northwestern, and received a likely from Brown. UC saw a huge applicant increase this year, so don’t worry too much because of a waitlist there.</p>
<p>Justamom42 - over on the WashU forum there were plenty of stories about kids who got waitlisted/rejected last year, but were admitted to many HYPSM’s. Good luck to your D!</p>
<p>Yeah, I have some people at my school who got accepted to Wash U but Rejected to all of the top UCs (LA, B, and SD), WTH.</p>
<p>UChicago decisions shouldn’t be absolute indicators of other top colleges’ decisions because of their crazy essays. 2300+ 4.0 kids were waitlisted this year possibly because they wrote essays that didn’t fit into the UChicago norm.</p>
<p>anyone heard of someone waitlisted at UVA, get in to princeton? I found it odd cause I was accepted to Georgetown EA and Uchicago EA which are both harder.</p>
<p>Strange, I was accepted at UVA and waitlisted at Georgetown. Decisions make no sense…</p>
