<p>has any ED2 applicant heard anything from the school?
it's stated on the website that the notification should be sent by mid-Feb. so i'm kinda wondering when it will be out.</p>
<p>well, i guess I set this up to be the official thread for ED2 applicants. Please kindly update us if you have received any signal from the school:) </p>
<p>and good luck everyone!!! :)</p>
<p>No admissions mail yet in Massachusetts. The 15th is a holiday, so hoping ConnColl posts letters to arrive on Saturday. How many of us ED2s are out there?</p>
<p>i am an international student. i live in asia
here even worse because we celebrate chinese new year so the post office is off for more than a week.
i wonder if they will email instead.</p>
<p>any ED applicants out there?</p>
<p>International here. Took really long for me ED I decision to arrive, so I’m not hoping for anything before the 20th. (Unless ConnColl sends emails, which is awesome!)</p>
<p>Decision: Rejected</p>
<p>Stats:[ul]
[<em>] SAT Subject Test: 800 MII 800 Phy

**General Comments:**ConnColl was a favorite. Thought I had a good shot because my relatively poor (2050) SAT I and that was being ignored. I guess the aid part plays a huge role.</p>
<p>Best of luck to everyone, especially internationals!</p>

<p>Best of luck to everyone, especially internationals!</p>
<p>Sorry to hear all the bad news. Sounds like financial aid must have played a big part. Had heard that the full-pays might have an advantage. No news here in US. Did you get emails or letter? Good luck and hope you find a great place to go next fall.</p>
<p>Sorry guys. I am really surprised you got rejected.
I’m an ED deferred international. I play soccer and do the IB Programme (38/42 predicted) but didn’t send any SATs. I applied for FA. I don’t know whats the reason to get rejected but I know that on ED 1 they accepted only 4 students (6% ints got in).</p>
<p>Yes. I’m a disappointed. I thought ConnColl was a match, but I doubt such a term even exists for internationals. Now I’m beginning to doubt my chances anywhere, but that’s how I am - always hope a lot, expect a little so that I’m never miserable.</p>
<p>I’m not going abroad to attend a safety. The LAC system was the only thing that was attractive enough to make me think about asking my parents to pay so much more (yes, even 10k is a lot for us) that I would have to here. Even if I end up with 11 rejection letters in April, I’m not going to regret not applying to safeties.</p>
<p>cma0707: I got an email. I guess they know how slow international mail is, unlike some other colleges… Thank you. :)</p>
<p>luluzg: I guess a deferral is better than a reject, and all the best for April. :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>exactly how I am feeling right now. i’m afraid the same outcome will happen.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>you’re in the same situation as I am. My schools list doesn’t include any safety for the reason that my safeties (LACs rank 50 and below) are not generous enough to give me almost a full ride. in fact, I got rejected by Kalamazoo for Early Action.</p>
<p>I only apply to LACs rank from 20 to 50, which I believe I have a shot at and at the same time I can get a big amount of money from them.</p>
<p>so after all these rejections for me, I conclude that I’ve sooooo underestimated the financial crisis. this crisis has cut down so much financial resources that schools now only give full/almost full rides to some true geniuses, whom I am definitely not. :)</p>
<p>that’s why I think I may get the same outcome from other schools in april. </p>
<p>ok, I see no point in hanging around here anymore 
goodluck to those who haven’t received or get deferred 
I wish you all the best :)</p>
<p>Good luck with other applications guys! Wish you all the best. I also didnt apply to safties coz I can get a great education back at home and univs are almost free (1000 maximum, depends on ur ranking). I applied ED 2 to Mount Holyoke and got in with insufficient FA so I declined it. From 7 remaining colleges, Conn is my first choice although it almost has the worst ranking. I find it to be match but I guess my chances are minimum (there is a guy from my country who is Class of 2013) and other girl from my country is deferred. I come from a country which has 4.5 million people so if they accept me I guess we’d be overrepresented :S But as you said, hipe for the best, expect the worse.
Good luck and dont lose the hope!</p>

<p>So the poster I’m replying to said he won’t be here anymore but I think this is worth saying (and this is a reply to some other posters):
The vast majority of schools cannot promise to meet the full need of US citizens and permanent residents. Only a little over 50 do. Only seven schools are need blind for international applicants, and only two of which are LACs (Amherst and Williams). All of the schools that are need-blind for international applicants are very tough to get acceptance.</p>
<p>I can’t evaluate Conn’s admissions procedures, but generally the international pool is very competitive for all colleges and the admissions process is more of a crapshoot.</p>
<p>Also, luluzg, I don’t think Croatia and Eastern Europe is particularly overrepresented. I’ve read that a large amount of internationals in Conn are from Asia, so perhaps the Asian field may be the most overrepresented.</p>
<p>i know there is one croat and a few students from other european countries. i know we r underrepresented but in comparison to china but we have a few million citizen while they have over billion. it seems logical to consider that when talking about under/over represented nations</p>
