<p>Sorry if I'm asking a rather obvious question, but when do you hear back from Kenyon regarding admissions (for RD)? I'm assuming April 1st, but if there's a chance of hearing back sooner let me know!</p>
<p>Also I live overseas so I was wondering if Kenyon notifies you via email or through the mail. Thanks!</p>
<p>i have the same question…</p>
<p>I just got my acceptance via FedEx even though I’m an international student. so I suppose they do it through mail? I still haven’t received an email so I suppose they are just doing letters this year :)</p>
<p>hey toujours! may i know which country are you from?</p>
<p>The coach of my son’s sport called him last week to say they were going into committee on Wednesday, March 9. Not sure how people were notified before this as this was the beginning of deliberations.</p>
<p>They hadn’t even started to make admissions decisions until last week? That doesn’t seem right. I think the committee only meets on the applicants that aren’t unanimously approved/rejected by the two readers.</p>
<p>I was able to collect my admissions packet today. I looked and it was postmarked on March 8. I’m a domestic student, and the packet came in the regular mail.</p>
<p>You received it in the mail?? Where do you live?</p>
<p>I’m at a (very) international school in the US Southwest, so it might be a special case since most people who apply from my school are international. I know of at least a couple of my classmates who received their information around the same time as me. They might have wanted to notify everyone at my school at once.</p>
<p>for those who asked, I live in Singapore.</p>
<p>mino, when my son initially spoke with them it was Friday, March 4. He was told they were still reading individual files and would be going to committee Monday. That was later updated to Wednesday, March 9. I thought all schools met in committe to deliberate admissions.</p>
<p>They don’t deliberate every single applicant–there aren’t enough hours in the day–except maybe at Haverford, where every single applicant has to be unanimously agreed upon by a six-member panel.</p>
<p>I was waitlisted. :< Received an e-mail about a week ago.</p>
<p>mino…I think most schools do send all apps to committee. That is how it was explained to us by the Columbia rep who came to my son’s school.</p>
<p>You know, mino, the more I thought about it, I am wondering how on earth schools do find the time to deliberate over so many applicants. Both Holy Cross and Tufts have blogs about how they do exactly this, though. Holy Cross states they every single application goes to committe, “over 7400” this year." The adcom basically describes the committee as being cloistered for the entire month. It must be exhausting.</p>
<p>Kenyon is my son’s first choice and I’m anxious about hearing the decision. He’s been put on two waiting lists at his 2nd and 4th choice now and been accepted to three other schools which were further down the list. Only waiting on Kenyon and one other school now. I didn’t go to college myself and this is all new to me. He’s handling the whole thing much better than I am…which is good!</p>
<p>So interesting to try to figure out to how Kenyon is rolling out its decisions as MarieM indicated 3/17 that she heard a week earlier that she was waitlisted…as far as I can tell, no one at my D’s school has heard anything from Kenyon.</p>
<p>I haven’t heard anything, absolutely freaking.</p>
<p>I believe MarieM was an EDII applicant</p>
<p>I think she might be an international student?</p>
