college of charleston early action

@sav42many Did your kiddo ever hear an EA decision?

@labegg Yes, he received an acceptance about a week ago. Regular mail. He has not heard about honors. One of his friends from Northern Virginia was deferred. Her mom mentioned that she changed 1st choice to Clemson. They contacted her about a partial scholarship around Christmas. Daughter joked that she isn’t disappointed anymore because Clemson was close enough to visit Charleston if my son attends. It was good to hear her make light of things.

Have any of the deferred ED applicants heard any news? I realize it’s early since the letter said by April 1st. CofC is still hands down 1st preference so curious if anyone has an update.

Is anyone else having trouble getting into ebill? DD can log into MyCharleston but it asks for a log in for ebill and nothing we’ve tried is working. It wants a pin and tried her bday but not working. She’s contacted the help desk but they don’t seem to know what’s wrong yet.

Thanks for any advice!

@drewsmom17
Did you have your DD authorize you as an e-bill user? You will receive a separate e-mail with password/login instructions.

Just updating on our issues in case anyone else has this happen. You are not supposed to need a pin to get in ebill. The help desk was great and very responsive! We updated java, cleared cache, etc and nothing helped. After that, it was referred to an acct tech. It was fixed early this morning and we’re all set. Probably just some weird glitch, I’m not sure.

@RuthieRoush Yes, D applied ED, was deferred and then accepted about 2 wks ago. We still haven’t heard about Honors yet. Best of luck to you!

Oops, @RuthieRoush I meant D applied EA, not ED. Don’t know if that helps you at all, sorry!

My S applied regular decision and no response yet. I know the notification date is officially April 1, but most colleges announce earlier. Any ideas on when exactly?

My daughter got the email today! She’s very excited & so is Mom :slight_smile:

Congrats to those getting notified! We made it official on DD’s bday, deposits are paid and orientation scheduled. I’m so excited for her-and jealous that she gets to live in Charleston.

S got accepted as well, but no word on financial aid yet. We are OOS, so whether he can even consider attending will depend heavily on that.

@mamatojjandkk Thank you! D received her acceptance a few days after I posted. Waitlisted for the honors program. She still has to attend Admitted Students Day @ UMD before making her final decision.
