S2 has applied for EA1 at WPI. He wants to major in Biology. WPI is his strong first choice, so we are keeping our fingers crossed. He attended Frontiers this summer and loved it! He met some really great kids.
Good luck to everyone!
My DD applied EA1 Undecided Engineering - WPI is one of her top choices.
My son applied EA1. He plans to double major in Electrical and Robotics Engineering. WPI is one of his top choices. I wanted him to go to Frontiers, but it didn’t work out. He did visit twice, and he feels that it is a great fit for him. Anxiously awaiting decision.
Good luck to everyone!
If this helps anyone, last year my DS received his EA1 decision on Tuesday, December 16.
Did he find out about merit aid then too? Does he like WPI?
He ended up going to RPI. I am not sure when the merit aid was given, but I think it was the same time as the acceptance.
Good luck!
Merit is awarded a week or so after receiving the letter of admission.
@dadinator @VMT Thank you so much for sharing your experiences! It’s nice to know what to expect.
The waiting is very hard…
I received and email from WPI Admission below:
Decision will be posted for December 20th in the student’s portal. Good Luck!

@markab2 Did you send an email to ask for the decision date？
Yes, I did. I also asked if the Dec 20 date is correct as it is a Sunday. I got the response that this is so far the date. I believe, in the past they sent it earlier than the posted date. so this year I hope it comes out on Friday Dec 18 or earlier. I believe the Dec 20 date is a “no later than” date because the schools close for the holiday season and they are have to get this done before the holiday week.
@markab2 Thanks for your messages！They are very helpful！
We received an email titled: Admissions and Financial Aid Parent Newsletter a few days ago. As to decisions, it said:
When will my son or daughter receive an admission decision letter?
If your son or daughter applied Early Action (round one), and their admissions file is complete, he or she will receive a decision by logging into his or her WPI account on or before December 19, 2015. If admitted, a formal decision letter will follow in the mail.
@krnBoston Do you know how you were subscribed for this Parent newsletter? We did not receive it. My son’s email is listed on his Common App, and he said that he did not receive an email. We did get a postal mail letter flagged as a “general information letter” for financial aid and the process/documents required.
No idea how we got on the list - we didn’t do anything special. I believe our emails were on the common app. And we did say we would be applying for financial aide, but that’s it. This was geared to parents, so I’m not sure if my son received the same email, but both my husband and I did.
Judging from last year’s process, last year they had the same notice of December 20 release of the EA decisions. Dec 20 2014 was a Saturday and actual decisions came out on the 16th, a Tuesday. So if this year goes the same way, the decision will come out Wednesday or Thursday next week (16th or 17th). Good Luck to everyone!
