D still waiting to hear. 1830 SAT, 4.3 weighted GPA/3.8 UW. OOS. Not her top choice, but in the running. Manhattan tweeted about acceptance letters being the best Christmas presents a few days ago, so hopefully she gets one! Deferred from Fordham (my alma mater), accepted to UNCW and Stevenson (with Presidential Scholarship)…@lane0789, congrats on your acceptance!
Just applied as an Insider Applicant - 4.3 GPA, 30 ACT, 13/313, 8 APs, 7 Honors, lots extracurriculars and leadership, etc. I’ve received three other acceptances, but I’m not sure exactly when to except a response from MC (the rolling admissions aspect of it is odd). It isn’t my top school, but I am hoping for good financial aid, so we’ll see! It’s a front-runner so far. I’m visiting the campus in two weeks. Congratulations on your acceptance, @lane0789! Best of luck with your other applications as well!
Just got my acceptance letter today. Pretty excited, especially about the financial aid.
3.748 Weighted GPA, (Don’t know unweighted)
Top 26% of class (98th/387)
29 ACT
1970 SAT
No AP’s, but a lot of honors/college level courses
Pretty meh extracurriculars and letters of recommendation
Pretty good essay (if I do say so myself)
Applied as an “Insider Applicant” towards the end of December through the common app
Received a Presidential Scholarship for 19k a year along with my acceptance letter today. Pretty surprising considering I know someone else who applied with more impressive stats, course load, EC’s, etc., and he received the same scholarship, but for slightly less money. I guess I got lucky.
Good luck everyone!
D accepted today. 1830 SAT, 4.3 weighted GPA, decent ECs, AP/Honors courses, $19K scholarship.
