@kaneyoudigit you can call around the 3rd or 4th of April. EA letters were delayed on the West Coast so I called and they provided me the decision over the phone. They also call you if you got in. Good Luck!
@dhizzy remember you need to account for yield, so that’s not the acceptance rate per se. They have to accept more than that to have a yield of 1580.
Oh yeah…

@KDurham congrats! that’s awesome that you got in with no SAT subject tests
@justinn76 I agree, I think a lot of weight was pulled by my Recommendations (From an Alumni and One from a current student) and that my school is Jesuit affiliated. I dont question anything! I’ve gotten into some pretty competitive schools and as I whole I dont see myself as competitive as all the people I see on CC. But I am thankful and legit cried when I opened it
Has any accepted student received a call yet?
nothing in the mail for northern NJ -____-
rejected from NJ
Accepted here in Southern VA. Freaking thrilled. My parents are so happy, and so am I. I love this school so much it’s ridiculous
No letter in RI
Nothing in California today. Looks like Ivy Day might include Georgetown for me.
Oh wow. Such a low acceptance rate! Looks like there is no chance. Anyone get wait listed yet?
anyone get calls???
Do you guys think that if I were to call the admissions office on Monday, they would give me my decision over the phone or would I have to wait until April 1st? I’m in California so I’m unsure when I’ll get the mail and it would be easier to just call and get the decision immediately.
@roseoak3918 – Accepted. Literally, a last minute decision to apply. Solid stats (800 Reading/740 Math; very difficult curriculum; only EC he highlighted was Chess, etc.) We’ll attend acceptance day on April 10th.
Accepted! SFS, has anyone tried to login with their NetID and password?
Convincing myself that I got rejected because I’m Jewish because it stops the tears
@Shoshonte congrats to him! That’s awesome! My mail hasn’t come yet here in Philadelphia but I’m anxiously awaiting it and hoping gtown’s letter comes today!
Nothing in Union County, NJ today! Anyone else in NJ get their letters?
