Busy day for all of us too! I asked my daughter to just keep periodically checking her email and let us know as soon as she does. Couldn’t sleep last night. Hoping for good news today!
Well, I went ahead and called about when they’d release ED results but I’m not 100% clear on answer. She first said “by the 15th” but when I said that’s tomorrow and a weekend, she seemed surprised, like, “oh, yeah, that’s tomorrow.”
Then she went on to say kids would get an email first to check their portal, then a postal delivery soon.
So I asked again if they’d “get” them tomorrow— as opposed to “by tomorrow” and she said something noncommittal like, “I’m pretty sure” … so that’s not the most clear.
The person I talked to was just whoever answered the main admissions number. She was very friendly, in case someone else wants to try. I should have offered to wait in case she wanted to check … because it may have just been a student for all I know …
Ok, so today or tomorrow. I can deal with that! It was the maybe 14th, maybe 15th, maybe 17th & total radio silence on social media that had me going nuts.
Good Luck everyone!
@shan7k I’m wearing all purple today, just in case. Not being able to sleep seems far more normal, comparatively. 
Ahhh I’m so nervous! I’ve worked towards this for a long time and I really hope it pulls through. I told my parents to promise not to open the letter if it comes when I’m not home. But, it seems like the email might be coming first! I guess I’ll be checking my phone every chance I get till it comes. I work all day tomorrow but I’m definitely going to run back to my phone as often as I can manage
Can everyone share their stats (or their son/daughters) stats? Might help keep nerves down a little. Here’s mine:
GPA: 3.95/4.00
No class rank (but I’m in the top of my class)
ACT: 31
President and founder of a club/involved in a few others
First gen female
I was told my essay was really well written, and my teacher recs were pretty good.
Local to the area. That’s a pro and con I feel like
Visited four times. Did the overnight, interview, and talked privately with some professors
I can post any other stats if anyone wants
do you guys think we might have to wait until tomorrow since there haven’t been any social media updates? Or could they still be posted tonight??
Hoping they will get posted today. Probably 5pm EST or later after offices are closed. I know a couple other schools are releasing in waves starting tonight at midnight. Mail already came today and nothing in the mail.
I have news! I direct messaged Kenyon on Twitter and got this back:
“Good afternoon! Decisions are scheduled to be released this evening. You’ll receive an email instructing you to check the online admissions portal.”

DS just said in response, ok NOW I’m nervous!!
Ahhh! I wish you all good luck (if you’re a parent, I wish your kids luck!!)
Hopefully we all will have good news to report I’m ridiculously nervous right now!
DECISIONS ARE OUT!!!
DS isn’t home! ^^%%$&$#!!!
The email has arrived. Daughter just got home; hasn’t checked portal yet.
He got in!! He got The Kenyon Promise too
I got accepted!!! Distinguished Academic Scholar & STEM Scholar. CONGRATS EVERYONE WHO GOT IN!!
Welp, my D was rejected. I’m pretty surprised. She was just above middle side of testing/gpa and had very strong ECs. She doesn’t seem overly upset since she knew the NPC showed her taking loans, and having to use significant summer earnings to meet EFC. (She might even be just a little bit relieved about that part of it as she’s been pretty stressed about being boxed in with loans and working a lot every summer, and some during school year.)
Luckily she has three rolling admits, including one our state flagship, and an EA acceptance with significant merit at College of Wooster. She also has a couple other LAC apps out RD.
Congrats to everyone who got good news!
Hugs @MidwestMomTo2
I’m sorry. 
My D got in! She is beyond excited! I don’t think got any merit though. Where did you see yours? Congrats all!
So sorry @MidwestMomTo2! I’m glad your D isn’t too upset and that she has hers eyes on some great schools!!
@ChaosParent23 was the merit award listed in the acceptance letter? I don’t think my D got anything but don’t want to miss anything!
