<p>reichan - maybe you don’t have the latest software.</p>
<p>I’m on a mac and chose to open the pdf with Preview. But, I could have opened it with Adobe. If one program is not working for you, can you try to open it with another?</p>
<p>D got accepted with nice scholarship! Congrats to those who got in and best of luck to those defered or did not get in. There are so many greats schools out there and I’m sure you will find the perfect fit. For those who asked for stats of accepted students:</p>

good recommendations</p>
<p>reichan, It actually sounds like a web browser issue. We could not open it from AOL and had to log in using Internet Explorer. Also, if you have an old version of Internet explorer, it may not work either. I would first see if you can use a different computer and if that does not work, try downloading the latest version of internet explorer on your computer</p>
<p>got in with john dickinson scholarship!!! so excited :D</p>
<p>D is accepted with John Montgomery Scholarship. She is over the moon!
GPA 3.7/4.04
ACT: 30
5 honors and 1 AP soph/junior year, 3 APs this year
Very involved in theatre and a retreat leader for 4 years. I’m assuming she got great recs. And she said her interview went really well.</p>
<p>She was expecting a deferral, because of the huge increase in applicants. Those of you who were deferred, keep showing your interest, and hopefully you’ll make it in the next round.</p>
<p>Deferred… completely expected though. Congratulations to those who got accepted! 
By the way, did any international students get accepted?</p>
<p>S was accepted and is thrilled. Congratulations to everyone who was admitted and the best of luck to everyone still waiting for information, updated deferrals or RD.</p>
<p>Congratulations to all who were accepted and commiserations to those deferred or not accepted - oftentimes the knocks in life ultimately have a good outcome, so hang in there.</p>
<p>My D was accepted with a Benjamin Rush scholarship and is ecstatic. Her stats:
Cumulative unweighted GPA: 3.7, weighted past semester 4.11 (at a tough private school that doesn’t rank).
ACT 32 (E:33, M:32; R: 31, Sc: 33)
SAT-II US History: 710, Biology 690
AP US History: 5, Biology 4, taking 4 APs this year (plus regular class)
Great teacher recommendation (we’re told)
