Parent of a senior who is considering Denison – he has been on campus several times, and we all are enthralled by how lovely a campus it is, and how personable and engaged the students and faculty are whom he has met with. A little surprised by how little activity there is here on the Denison board, as I check boards for my kid’s other schools, Wooster etc., and there is more going on there! Certainly interested in hearing from families currently considering Denison. Good luck to current applicants, and those who are still deciding whether to finish that supplement.
I have the same feeling. I have applied as safety and I was interview by the Alumni.
I am a parent of a senior who is considering Denison Waiting to hear regular decision. My daughter visited yesterday for the second time and really likes it.
@Francesginger Did they tell you when you visited the date they are releasing their regular decision results? Or did they just say mid-March still?
Mid march still.
Does anyone know the date when Denison admissions results will be released? also wondering if it’s a letter in the mail, or an email notification, or if it appears on the portal. Thanks
Just heard from admission that decisions will be in the mail March 11
@firstborn wow…march 11th
3 days from now
Are the decisions only going to go out in the mail, or internationals will receive theirs through email or portal
Looking at last year’s RD thread, it looks like the admission decision is available on the portal, but the mailed package contains merit award info. So a student would know if they are admitted through the portal, but will not know about merit etc. until the big envelope arrives.
Good luck all!
does anyone recall where the student finds his ID number for the portal?
@firstborn look for a confirmation email from Denison sent to you approximately two days after you submitted your application
I am not really getting my hopes of for an acceptance considering I am an international that requires huge, and I mean huge, financial aid. But anyways, I hope for the best.
But here are my stats
RD International from Nigeria, Africa.
SAT: Test optional
Unweighted Rank 2/50 (school doesnt weigh rank)
Unweighted GPA 4.76/5(school doesnt weight) would have had higher GPA and maybe will have been valedictorian but in 9th grade i was in the middle rank of my class, but in tenth grade, first semester something clicked and i jumped right to 3rd rank and i maintained an upward trend between 2nd and first rank semester after semester but more on the first rank, and your 9th grade counts to being a valedictorian so i ended up 2nd not far behind the 1st ranked student(sorry for the babble)
Went to competitive elite private school (highest gpa in class is 4.79)
School doesnt offer AP or IB classes
EC’s: really high rank in student government, i had an assistant(2 yrs) , house captain(2yrs), hockey captain(3yrs), athletics captain(2 years), first team soccer member(2.5 years as first team, 2.5 year as super substitute), treasurer of community service group(2 yrs), a lot of athletics and soccer medals, internship at IBM(sort of), volunteered to teach a group of non English speakers English. Co president mathematics club(2 years), provost JETS/ICT club(2 years), president of LEGO group(lego group was disbanded in 11th grade tho, lol)(2 years),
Major awards: science olympiads(biology and physics), International gifted academy award, had the highest score in AMC 12A in the state in my country where i wrote it.
And lots of in school and interschool science awards and lots and lots of athletic and soccer awards and medals
Weaknesses: huge financial aid needed, didnt interview
Strengths: strong athlete(track and field), soccer player, hockey player…( i wasn’t recruited, never knew it existed, but in my application and resume it is duly stated), EC’s(i guess), Leadership( i guess)
A lot of more stats, but cant remember the rest
I need like 55k+ to attend, anyone mind chancing me
Actually, Denison Admissions on Twitter says they mailed letters today.
yes, they told me that as well. Not sure if it’s on the portal. Can’t figure out how to get the ID # bc my son said he can’t find the email…
@firstborn its not yet out on the portal. You can ask your son to use search on his email. The topic on the email is “Denison Application Received and Login Credentials” but if he is still unable to find it, this is the link to the website connect.denison.edu/status your email address is your ID and you can use forgot password if he can’t remember the password
Anyone knows if and when it will be released on the portal, I am an international it can take weeks for the mail to get to me
