Where are you currently attending? If you don’t mind me asking.

Yeah no problem, I currently go to ASU.

I applied too! Good luck

Received this from Hamilton, today:

“ Your admission decision will be available at 1:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, May 13, through your applicant portal. If you are admitted to Hamilton, you will also receive an acceptance letter in the mail.”

Goodluck, everyone!

Good luck!

Rejected. Not a time to have high need…

I got waitlisted along with Wesleyan

Stay on those waitlists, if a lot of current students take leave, transfer movement may still happen. Good luck!

That is the plan! I got into Grinnell, NYU, Holy Cross, and Whitman, so I’m not short on options, but both Wes and Hamilton are some of my top choices alongside Grinnell.

Yep, good advice. I’m about to transfer from Wesleyan to Hamilton, so a slot might open up at Wes soon.
