Early Decision 1 Official Thread

@onefiftyone my college counselor thinks it will be later this week. I am hoping it comes out tonight or tomorrow, though. Does anyone know if they send out an announcement before. I know they tweeted last year.

Yeah they’re pretty unpredictable. Last year they released ED1 decisions on the 15th, 7 days early on a monday, and announced that on Facebook and Twitter on that afternoon. Then later for RD they released decisions on a Friday, 3 days early, and had notified applicants a few days before that through email. So who knows, my guess would be Friday night this week.

I just checked the admissions website. EDI Decisions will be posted on the GHQ Friday 8:00 EST.

Will they be posted 8:00 am or pm?

Its 8 PM. http://www2.wlu.edu/x39912.xml Why does it come out so late though? Most people are finding out like tomorrow or Wednesday at like 5 or 7.

by ‘most people’, do you mean W&L applicants or people who ED’ed to other schools? If it’s the latter that’s irrelevant

Other schools. Was just hoping that I wouldnt have to wait till the end of the week to find out.

Anyone want to share stats?

I don’t know how to wait until 8:00 on Friday without going crazy…

thoughts?

I’m actually preparing for heartbreak

I just logged into my GHQ account and now there’s is a red X on my checklist that was not there before and says that they need my mid-year grades as soon as they are available. Does anyone else have this?

@wannabegeneral mine also says this but it is beneath the checklist and no red check beside it

Mine was added to my checklist but it also says it underneath. Where everything else says “Received” it says “awaiting”. My college counselor said it was a good sign. Did you apply ED @hcrump?

@wannabegeneral yeah

Yes I have that too!!! I think thats a good sign, right?!! They wouldn’t want our grades if they didn’t want us…

Does it ask everyone for mid-year grades?

I was actually worried that I got the red X awaiting mid year grades because I thought they deferred me…

What do you think it means that some are a part of the list with a red “x” and others are beneath the list with no red “x”? Mine is in the list of the received portions of my application where everything says received and it says they are “awaiting” mid year reports. I’m freaking out. Do you think this is good of bad? I applied ED

@onefiftyone YOU ARE A SHOOO IN!!! CONGRATS ON BEING U

does the red X awaiting mid year grades mean good?
