does anyone know when to hear back for ea or rd

Denison only had ED1 and ED2, not EA. ED decisions are released on a rolling basis (we were told, by Admissions). If you follow Denison Admissions on Twitter, they tweet when a batch of ED decisions go out. RD is late March, I believe, though you can check earlier year’s posts to see when RD seemed to come out. Merit awards are in your written acceptance materials, not your online portal.

Is RD really in late March? When did RD decisions come out last year?

If you look at last year’s thread, it looks like RD portal was updated in mid-March, starting after March 10 or so.

My daughter Applied for ED I and was
Accepted Dec 2nd (via Portal). To answer a few of your questions, she had a 3.85 GPA (when applied) higher after this semester but irrelevant now, 5 AP classes, 32 ACT (36 English, 35 Reading)
Extracurricular Activities: too much stuff to list but very involved. Lots of leadership, helping others… 600+ volunteer hrs. w/local food pantry, State Scholar, National Honors Society, French National Honors Society, 13 yrs. Classical piano etc… She fell in love with Denison and is thrilled to be part of the class of 2021. Go Big Red!!

Still waiting on tenterhooks to hear back. Anybody know when we’ll be notified? I’ve been checking the portal just about every day…

They have a tweet pinned on their Twitter page from Feb 17 saying decisions would be out in “about a month”–I interpret that to mean that decisions will be coming out this Friday.

Will the decisions be posted on the portal or will they sent through the mail?

Portal, according to the 2019 thread. @zbday11 . I can’t find a 2020 thread if anybody can please link it. And I saw the same tweet @klinska I’m really hoping they mean that letters will be in our mailboxes Friday, so the portal should be updated sooner ( prehaps even Wednesday?)

They just tweeted that decisions will be uploaded to the portal on Friday!

Woot woot !!

Excited for the new members of the Class of 2021. My D was accepted EDII on January 10th and is looking forward to meeting her new classmates

Denison is a match for me so I hope I will be accepted but I’m so nervous right now

What are your stats? @XiaoAh

@realperson2990 2160 SAT and 9.5/10 GPA but I’m an Intl so I guess my SAT is a bit low :frowning:

I’m assuming they will release decisions in the evening, perhaps around 5PM or 6PM. I’ll mention them on Twitter the day of asking for a specific amount of time. Hopefully we get good news very soon!

@realperson2990 2160 SAT and 9.5/10 GPA but now that I think about it, 2160 is way below average for an intl :frowning:

Nah, I’d say you’ve got a good shot! I was talking to an international on campus a few months ago who had something similar.
@XiaoAh

It looks like last year, decisions went out in the morning. Maybe around 10 tmw we will know?
