Eary Decision?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Carleton College
1

<p>The time for acceptance/rejection letters is approaching. I thought it might be nice to have a place to post when the people near MN get their letters, so the rest of us know that it is coming. </p>

<p>okay. now i need to go have a panic attack somewhere.</p>

<p>Good thought KathleenMC. </p>

<p>It’s frustrating that the busiest regular mail day of the year (Dec. 13 this year) coincides with EDI decisions.</p>

3

<p>I live in MN, so I think I should get my decision around the tenth or so…</p>

4

<p>Good luck, y’all. Ds is a freshman and is loving it.</p>

5

<p>Good luck everyone!!</p>

<p>Whoops. Guess Carleton College is out of the question if I can’t even spell “early” correctly…awesome </p>

<p>Do you really think they will send them out as early as the 10th? I was thinking the earliest I could possibly hope for would be the 12th…</p>

<p>Update, decisions are sent out tomorrow for all. I just spoke with the admissions there, and he said decisions would be mailed out on the ninth. Good luck to all, and hopefully us minnesota kids will have our letters tomorrow afternoon/night.</p>

<p>best of luck.</p>

<p>Congrats, sstewart! I remember posting on a Carleton thread saying I was going to apply ED (I was DEAD SET on Carleton until last month, so I didn’t apply ED) and we said we hoped one another would get in. That’s so exciting for you! :)</p>

<p>Anyone with decisions yet care to drop some stats?</p>
