Find Out Before December 13?

<p>For a lot of schools it is possible to call the school's admission office and ask for the decision that was made on your application, before the official notification date. Is this possible to do for Midd?</p>

<p>same q...
anticipating...</p>

<p>me too. that would be sooooo wonderful. i guess it wouldn't hurt to try?</p>

<p>I think it would hurt to try. Let's say they hadn't yet made decisions? Whose to say this wouldn't put a little black mark next to your file? Also.. even if they had made decisions, what makes you any more important or worthy of knowing than the other thousands of applicants? While you are undoubtedly anxious, it seems to me you'd come off as pretty self-centered or worse to inquire if you could know earlier or in some different manner than anyone else. Add to this the fact that you are not exactly respecting the admission officers time or the procedures of the office as a whole... Well, hopefully you get my point.</p>

<p>Modadunn is right. I don't think it will make any positive difference.</p>

<p>I think the time to contact the Admissions Office (other than anonymously) is if it's a wait list situation. And then the applicant and others on the applicant's behalf should do a constant full-court press.</p>

<p>The full court press.</p>

<p>That's why I think ED decisions will come out on Monday the 15th. The happiest times in an admissions office is when their work is done, the envelopes have left their office but applicants haven't yet received them. In an online world, admissions could artificially give themselves this time by not releasing decisions until after they've had a nice quiet weekend.</p>

<p>Just a theory with nothing other than a little bit of logic to back it up.</p>

<p>Midd makes their actual final decisions this week. (So it's relatively impossible to get your decision earlier anyway as the likelihood of it being finalized is minimal)</p>
