<p>Greetings to all Early Decision Applicants :)</p>
<p>Can I request all those who have decided to apply for early decision to leave a comment over this thread, so that we can network and interact to solve our numerous questions!!</p>
<p>Thank You!!</p>
<p>Would an early decision with a SAT score around 1800 lower my chances at MOHO? Also, I am an international student and would be asking for 50% FA.
Please help!</p>
<p>or should I apply regular decision in January since I’d be taking the SAT again in december and planning to increase my score.
Thanks!</p>
<p>Bump Bump please help!</p>
<p>Isn’t Mount Holyoke an SAT optional college?</p>
<p>Yes, MHC IS SAT optional. CHeck the admissions page to be sure.</p>
<p>would an ed lessen my chances for FA?</p>
<p>Hi ! Im Tsering
Im also applying Ed 1 to Mount Holyoke.
Does anyone have any idea when the Ed1 notification date is ?
Cheers ! :)</p>
<p>MHC always promises that the ED1 decisions will be released electronically (to ISIS) by January 1. However, over the past 2 years, the decisions have come out before Christmas, and, I think, by the end of the previous week, and usually at the very end of the day, i.e, after 6PM MHC local time. So, ED1ers, beginning next week, start checking your e-mail for a message that your “Admission decision is available on ISIS”. Good luck. My D was an ED1 acceptee, and that made Christmas a relaxed time for all of us, especially D since she did not have to prepare another 10 applications by January 1!</p>
<p>Last year, the ED1 decision notification date was December 18.</p>
<p>Hi all, </p>
<p>I’m an ED applicant. I’m on holiday right now, so I’m starting to get restless waiting for the result to come out! </p>
<p>Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Thank you so much for the information 
I really hope that the decision comes early this year as well!
Good luck to you too jportman ! :)</p>
<p>Hello everyone!</p>
<p>I’m an international ED applicant from Korea, and I’m a bit worried about the amount of financial aid I asked for… it’s a little over 50%.
Will this decrease my chances of getting in?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Even I need generous financial aid. I will be grateful if anyone can put some insight to financial aid aspect! Does Mount Holyoke reject application just because of financial status of applicant’s family?
Thanks!</p>
<p>I have also applied ED1 to MHC. I can’t wait to find out if I’m accepted!</p>
<p>Deferred for Regular Decision :-(</p>
<p>I’m in! :D</p>
<p>I was also deferred. :’(
I’m trying not to be TOO devastated… But this is my dream school. And now I have to wait months longer as well as apply to others. Not knowing is the worst part. 
I don’t want to hold onto false hope that I may have a chance to get in, but it’s impossible not to hope now. </p>
<p>Do you think they are on the edge about me and just want to see semester grades before making a decision?
Or do they not reject many ED applicants -just defer us and reject us later?</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who got in - so happy for you!</p>
<p>@jportman : So happy for you Congratulations!! How much financial aid had you asked for?</p>
<p>@barefootJ : I am sure they deferred me because I needed financial aid and finally they are going to reject me. I am very much confident about myself and I believe my application must be an outstanding one. I applied to Mount Holyoke as I am a feminist and I wanted to be at a women college. I love Mount Holyoke as well but this is simply ridiculous to get rejected due to financial problem. I needed almost 95% percent aid. Anyways, all the very best to you. Hope things turn out in our favor.</p>
<p>@Pripan : Thank you so much I’m an international student and I need quite a lot of aid. I got 36.5k/year, which is what I asked for.</p>
<p>@Pripan and @barefootJ : Even though MoHo might be your first choice now, I’m sure no matter where you end up, you’d have a great time. Be prepared to apply to other schools, but don’t give up hope yet, you’ll never know how it might turn out :)</p>
<p>I got accepted!! MoHo was my first choice. I got 50% financial aid which really helped. I am so excited!!! I had a 28 on my ACT and had all AP and Honors classes with amazing letters of recommendations. @barefootj dont lose hope, you will find an amazing college if for some reason MoHo says no. Good luck (:</p>
