Anybody heard anything official about decision release? I’ve been assuming this coming Friday but haven’t heard anything from the school.
The website says decisions will be released on April 1st. I don’t believe we have any reason to believe they will be released any earlier especially because one of their admissions counselors is out right now. So I wouldnt expect a decision this weekend.
Last year admission decisions came out on 3/16. Applicants were notified ahead of time that their portals would be updated on that day.
And last year they also said April 1st. I’m hoping it’s this week, but it may just be wishful thinking.
Man I hope it’s Friday, the wait for these final decisions is killing me!
I am really worried that there is a red cross in front of my official sat scores. And there isn’t anything under those “scores we have” heading. But I read on their website that they use the scores mentioned on the common app. Should j be worried?
You don’t need to worry. I have in my records that we didn’t send scores separately either. I believe they need to be sent/confirmed if you are accepted and want to go there.
I’m worried that they haven’t processed my CSS yet… I don’t know if that means they haven’t processed my application… or just haven’t processed my CSS
@bellacf931 what does it say on the F&M portal for your CSS? My DD’s has a green check mark and says received.
