Hamilton applicants for the class of 2016

<p>@ halshimkoski I am so nervous. I think I have a really good chance, but I’m still extremely nervous. I need to know! It’s so perfect for me… I can’t wait until March to know from other colleges!
I feel like the ED Hamilton thread is so much quieter this year than past…</p>

<p>Less than 22 hours! Good luck, guys!</p>

<p>6 am in the morning for me!!! I wonder how will I manage to sleep!!!</p>

<p>Roughly 3 hours and 28 minutes until the decisions are released! Today was easily one of the longest days of my life.</p>

<p>I was accepted!!! ahhhh :slight_smile:
anyone else???</p>

<p>I was deferred. :confused: I expected to be rejected, so it’s extremely frustrating to know I’ll just be rejected later on.</p>

<p>here is some advice on deferral to a poster who said deferrals = rejected… all bs </p>

<p>One way that many colleges look at deferrals from the ED round is that the candidate is someone they would consider admitting, but perhaps didn’t stand out as much as some of the other ED applicants (the ones they admitted). So they defer the candidate in order to be able to see how he/she stacks up against the larger pool of applicants in the RD round. That is, they’re holding their options open.</p>

<p>Also, I’m not sure I’d interpret the statistics as the other Poster did. While a higher percentage of ED applicants is admitted when compared to the percentage of applicants admitted in the RD round, it doesn’t mean that a single individual’s chances of admission go down from the ED round to the RD round. Statistics such as percentage admission rely on a pool concept and an individual applicant is not a pool of applicants.</p>

<p>All that is to say, hang in there if you still love Hamilton, make sure there are other schools on your list you love too, and good luck to you.</p>

<p>WOOH! I was also accepted :)</p>

<p>Accepted!!!</p>

<p>Congrats everyone!!! I have to wait until April… let the wait begin.</p>

<p>Anyone else applying early decision 2??</p>

<p>I am applying ED II Hamilton. Btw, m from Nepal</p>

<p>Congrats to all those who were accepted ED1!</p>

<p>I’ll be applying RD, though Hamilton is honestly somewhat lower on my list.</p>

<p>I’m applying ed2 as well. Do you have to submit quarter grades for ed2? good luck everyone!</p>

<p>@appsarestressful i dont think we have to…and hopefully i’m accepted so won’t have to worry about A’s for second half of senior year. I love Hamilton!!!</p>

<p>I’m a January admit… any ideas on this?</p>

<p>Same here Hatshepsut. I’m pretty sure I’m going to do it. Hamilton was my 1st choice and London/something else doesn’t sound too shabby.
