CMC ED 2 thread

Since we hear back in less than a month, and I have already over-stalked the other threads I figured it was time for an ED2 thread.

I agree, I am so nervous to find out!!

I know that my chances of getting in are really low, but I keep getting myself all excited about the possibility of going to cmc

Next Friday guys! I don’t know about all of you, but I compulsively check the website every day to see if they slip up and notify me early

I haven’t done that yet but I get so excited whenever I get an email from them. Also I think I’d rather hear back from them on later in the week than hear back on Friday the thirteenth like bad omen or what

Did any of you do the video response?

I didn’t, I live in southern California so I was able to interview.

does anyone know what the ED2 acceptance rate is traditionally?

@swimcrazed6‌ it depends based on how many ED1 people were accepted. This year, not a lot were so you’re probably looking at around 20%

I think vballgurl is about right. Personally, I don’t think the “unhooked” ED acceptance rate is all that different than it is for RD. Keep in mind that virtually all the committed athletes are ED accepts. That skews the acceptance rate greatly. Take those out, and who knows how low the rate is. Legacy hooks matter too, especially for ED, but not nearly to the degree of athletics. CMS takes their sports seriously. I’m not trying to burst anyone’s bubble here, but just trying to add realism and perspective. CMC is the most selective LAC in the country. Just look at all the rejects in ED1; there were many who didn’t get in who had amazing resumes.

my hope is that since there were so many people who were rejected last round, that there will be more spots open for ed2 applicants and I’m pretty sure that the “hooked” applicants mostly applied ed1. But good luck tomorrow anyways!

My son is waiting on his decision. It seems like there is no way to predict who will get in to CMC. It’s so unique in my mind. This is a surprisingly quiet thread right now. I think he is expecting a rejection but still hoping! How’s everyone holding up who’s waiting on the decision?

Pretty anxious but ready to find out!

time is passing so slowly right now. Ahhhhh

It is so slow- we are in Florida so its almost 8:00 p.m. here and there is still more than an hour to wait. Where is everyone else from and what are you hoping to study?

My son is planning on going in to Computer Science primarily, but also likes Classical Studies (especially Latin)

will they send us an email?

i didn’t get in. I expected it because I had a low (for cmc) gpa, but I was hoping that the rigor of my classes (all honors and ap except for 1 regular class my freshman year) and all of my ecs (president of 2 clubs vp of 1 member of many more, captain of track and cross country teams, and 2 jobs all of which I have been doing since my freshman year along with commuting about an hour an a half to get to and from school when I stay at my moms house which is most school nights) but congrats to those who fared better and good luck to those who have yet to check

I was under the impression it would be on the admissions site but I am not sure whether they will email first. Anybody else know?
