Hi! I just wanted to make a thread before decisions start to roll out (just 2 weeks!!). I’m from NJ and might major in international relations. I attended the diversity overnight this fall and loved it! Good luck everyone!
I attended as well and thought it was awesome! Mia Rogers was actually so awesome!
Yeah she was great! Which one did you go on? I went in September
Did anyone else get an email confirming your mailing address? Do they mail rejections or was this just sent to everyone?
I didn’t gulp
I didn’t get it as well. Maybe because I got deferred from ED I? Because they already know that they have the correct email ID? Anyway, it’s very scary.
Were you deferred too? @cashme
No. Didn’t apply ED
I also didn’t get an email about mailing addresses:/
did you guys do the interview? did most people do it?
I did! But it was a part of the diversity overnight programming. I have no idea how many people do an interview.
Did you guys write the essay? I did but it bewilders me how such a selective school makes their essay optional. Do people usually get in without the essay? Hm maybe athletes
im sure some do
it has been over a month and my counselor hasn’t submitted my retired teacher’s reccommendation and she’s the only one who has it, should I be worried?
last month, I emailed her about it and she said she would send in the rec to hamilton along with my senior year grades, but she didn’t. I emailed her again 2 weeks later and she said that she lost the recommendation and has to email my teacher to get it. My teacher is really slow at responding to emails…
Re #10, Hamilton’s short essay does not appear to be optional:
Through the common app, they make it clear that the essay is optional (albeit highly recommended). There’s an option along the lines of “I understand what I’m doing and I choose not to submit Hamilton’s short essay with my application”
I didn’t get the email and I applied RD. I also attended the Diversity Overnight and had an interview!
@DreamforIvy I see you everywhere on CC, didn’t you get an early write from Amherst College? I’m sure your acceptance to Hamilton is a given as well. I envy you lol
@SupaSailor I’m literally on like every thread haha I applied to 20 colleges, so I’m trying to keep up with each one xD And yes, I did receive an early write from Amherst! Did you apply as well? Decisions are coming soon and it will be your time to shine! DON’T WORRY!
@DreamforIvy I’ve applied to quite a few as well, I think a lot of our choices match… UChicago to name another (my first choice… I’m so hyped for the 17th!) And yes, I did apply to Amherst. Being an international it’s quite a reach for me tho (small school, need blind etc). Fingers crossed I get in somewhere, doesn’t help that I’ve asked for aid. What’s your first choice?
