My S applied EA on November 30, and I’m wondering how the typical wait time between application and decision. The Ithaca website says it could take until Feb 1, but it seems like other posters have already heard. For example, one poster said he applied EA on October 30 and heard on November 28.
@BikeGuy - My S heard back in about 3 weeks, but with the Holidays it might take them longer.
@Karme1121 – Thanks. Hopefully, we’ll hear soon.
has anyone heard since Christmas day? I am wondering if they are sending out notifications this week or if they will wait until the following week to send out the next batch of notifications. I was surprised that S received notifications in the mail yesterday from other schools. But waiting on Ithaca which is among the top choices.
My S heard from Ithaca on the 19th, application in on November 29th. Portal updated on the 20th. FA letter arrived a few days after that. Currently his most expensive option so likely off the list.
@elise303 Ithaca Admissions website says they were closed through yesterday. I expect that they should resume sending out notifications this week.
Called today and yes, they said they would send a batch out this week. The admissions person, who was extremely pleasant on the phone, did mention that my son’s credentials have not been looked at yet. Okay, I cannot get mad when they clearly said February 1 for EA. I am just not that patient when it comes to waiting. This is my issue, I know. Doesn’t make it any easier. #focusonotherthings
My S got an update on his MyIthaca portal today informing him that he has been accepted into the Journalism program. Great news, but we’ve received nothing in the mail confirming admission or on merit scholarships.
