I received an application completion email from Andover and St. Paul’s but nothing from Exeter nor Choate. There was a computer glitch in my Andover application that I had to call the admission office about so I’m kinda worried that there might be a glitch in the other schools’ applications as well.
We did from SPS but not from PEA–cant recall others
Do the schools send application completion notifications to the student’s email or is this posted via the Gateway or SAO portals? Or is each school doing their own thing?
As of today, I have been able to receive an email confirmation that Exeter has received my application.
I cannot speak on behalf of Choate as I did not choose to apply there but I did inquire and in their email reminder to submit applications, they asked to “Please allow until February 1 for us to process and update the status of your application online,” which I assume means that they will update the status in your GoChoate online account if I am not mistaken.
Yes. They update in go Choate and they send a postcard. Or at least they did in the past.
I still haven’t received an application confirmation email from Exeter. Does Deerfield also send one as well?
I believe that Deerfield has their own portal, where they update a checklist with all of the materials you have submitted.
I submitted my application on time to Deerfield, they still haven’t updated the online portal, but Deerfield did send an email on January 15th saying that due to the high volume of applications that are being submitted, they did say to wait 5-7 days (not entirely sure if they are business days or regular days) before everything would be updated in their portals.
Also, Exeter has been known to send their decisions emails to parents’ email accounts, so if they did the same thing with the notification of a submitted application, the email could have been sent to their account instead of your own, so just ask them to check their email for anything from Exeter.
@Niezsche0521 have you received a confirmation email from Exeter yet? I sent an email to the admissions office about it and they haven’t replied.
I got an email from exeter. not sure about choate though.
I got an e-mail from Exeter too…
Just got an email from EXETER, Deerfield, Middlesex 
I haven’t gotten one from Middlesex; I did get one from Deerfield
Since Middlesex applications were due yesterday, January 31st, and I had turned it in yesterday, the chances of me getting a confirmation email today are relatively low as they need time to process them, but I’m sure that they’ll send an email shortly, if not, be sure to call them to confirm that they actually have your application. (Though Loomis Chaffee was able to send me a confirmation email the day after all applications were due, they have a great system).
Deerfield had updated their online applications system last week to show that my application had been completed and followed that with an email to confirm that my application had been completed.
