Great news. I hope you get to visit now that she has her acceptance!
One of my favorite threads is “Colleges your child crossed off the list after visiting, schools that moved up on the list. Why?” Obviously not many new posts on that thread since Covid. We were lucky and toured before Covid - I feel for students who are trying to make decisions without the chance to visit.
Congrats! My daughter was offered the Townes today! Do you know how many Townes Scholarships they offer? Do you know if they give needs based aide on top of this scholarship?

Congratulations! Was the portal updated yesterday? Or did you get something in the mail?
Has anyone who applied EA test optional gotten their decision yet?
Hi! She received a box with lots of swag and a letter buried at the bottom! I’m so proud of her.
Lol. Buried. But when was her portal updated? Was it updated last week and you didn’t check and only know she was admitted because she got the package?
D applied test optional EA on 11/14 and we have no update yet.
I don’t have access to her portal but I keep asking her to look. I will write back once she checks. I’m curious if more needs based aid will be listed there now or if ever.
Kind of ironic that “test” autocorrected to “tear”.
Same. I applied 10/29 test optional. Wonder if they’re doing people with scores first or if they’re going based on when we applied.
Our daughter was notified of acceptance and Hollingsworth on Thanksgiving day. She received an email that an update was available in her portal. Both parents were cc:'d on the email notification. Nice swag box arrived via Fedex the next day.
thanks. I’m just curious how long the portal was updated. It seems like Furman is updating portals with decisions but not sending emails out to let students know there’s an update. It’s only when someone checks the portal on their own or gets a box in the mail that they see their decision. Interesting that it seems to be rolling admission for EA and that’s not what I expected (and not what happened last year).
I also wonder if anyone will get a portal update during this two week break at the admissions office or if the next batch won’t come until they are back in the office. I guess we just wait and see!
I know someone who applied 10/20 with a score and found out about six weeks after that. Did your transcript get loaded a second time on 12/15? On our D’s portal, we can see it was downloaded when she sent it on 11/14 and then again on 12/15 and I guess that’s why I thought she would have an answer by now but we’re ok waiting too. Just curious!
oops fixed it!
Yep mine was also downloaded again on 12/15. I also thought I would know soon because other people said there’s were too. Interesting
I’m also in state with pretty high stats
but was your D ED or EA?
She applied EA.
Her portal is updated now, but I don’t know when that happened. Looks like her box was shipped on December 17 and arrived Dec 26. I wonder if they updated the portal back on December 17. She never had the chance to take the SAT (canceled multiple times). I have my fingers crossed for you guys!
