Hey everyone! I’m applying ED2 to American and thought that I might as well make an applicants thread for all of us!
We can use this thread to discuss release dates, app queries, and other such questions.
Now we just play the waiting game till Feb. 15!
Good luck to all of you!!!
I applied ED 2 as well! I know they say we’ll be noticed by February 15 but does anyone know if they come earlier than that from previous years. I’m curious because ED 1 received their letters this week when they were said to be received by Dec 31.
I applied ED 2 also! Does anyone know if the acceptance rate is higher than RD for ed 2?
Yes so I called and asked, and the ed2 dates are early as well. Instead of mailing them out on the 15th, they are mailing them out on Febuary 11th, so it’s a few days early!
Does anyone know if there are significantly more or less people who apply ed2 compared to ed1?
Don’t know about significantly, but pretty sure most would agree there is generally less applicants ed 2, although the splits aren’t drastically different.
also an ED 2 applicant, does AU consider your major when making admission decision? on the common app it said to pick whatever major you want because they dont consider your choice in admission, but that doesn’t seem right
when i visited the school and sat through their info session, they stressed that it was easy for students to switch majors bc AU admits students who would be successful in all areas/schools within AU. So yeah having a major is an option, but in the end they primarily look at you as an overall student.
omg, thats great news!
Does anybody else feel really confident in receiving an acceptance letter, but still extremely nervous?
On common app I think it says that your major choice won’t be the “basis” of your decision, so I think although not a defining/major factor, something like poli sci or international relations is more competitive
Has anyone tried to login through the portal
I went back and read Twitter AU thread from when they announced they were mailing the ED1 notifications. There was some question and answering happening there that made it very clear how this would roll out. What they said in that thread from December 18… First - admission decisions would NOT be on the Portal, they would only come in the mail. Second, they said that being able to create an account, or not create one, was NOT indicative of being accepted or not. So based on that, I am really hopeful they get mailed today. We’re in California, so will take 4-5 days for USPS anyway. Good luck all!
Anyone know if letters have been sent yet?
i think they sent them today. depending on where you live you’ll get them throughout this week. I’m expecting mine Wednesday
They did not mail them today. They will do so by the end of the week and you should check Twitter. They will announce in Twitter once they are mailed.
Has anyone been able to log into portal, regardless of what they say regarding it??
Just got an email from AU at 5pm saying ED 2 decisions will be released on Valentines Day at 4:30pm EST. I’m so nervous. Good luck everyone!
They are posting on the portal on Thursday at 430 pm—- official from AU admissions
They just announced on Twitter that they are releasing them electronically on the Future Eagle Portals this Thursday at 4:30 EST!!
