What has the turn around on acceptance decisions been like this year so far? Looks like last year decisions were always sent on Fridays, has that been true this year as well?
Most Colorado residents haven’t even applied yet. There is a free application day (for all Colorado schools, for all Colorado residents) sometime next week. A lot of the schools have pushed their acceptance days back
I’m aware of the free days. In the last three years I have heard of students who have received notice of acceptances in late September–Mines offers rolling admission.
Son applied on Sep 20th; got admitted today 10/13. Out of state, also got president’s scholarship 12,000/year, renewable for four years.

Wow, that’s incredible! I didn’t submit my application until October 15th. Do you think that’s too late? A moot point now, I guess, but I’m hoping to still get a scholarship.
Most Colorado students didn’t submit their applications until Oct 15 because that’s when they are free (and when the guidance counselors get the paperwork done).
