<p>I get in. I’m thrilled.</p>
<p>So, does HMC do priority mail for the accepted and regular mail for the rejected?</p>
<p>For ED, HMC used regular mail for accepted, so I imagine that same for RD.
Best of luck to you all! The ‘good envelope’ is big but not very thick.</p>
<p>Still waiting for the decision in GA.</p>
<p>Got acceptance today in TX! FYI, acceptance is NOT priority mail.</p>
<p>My child, who got in ED, got a big envelope today which probably has info on revisit weekend and such. I would guess that it went out with the RD envelopes. We live on the ‘other coast’, so I suspect everybody (or nearly so) will have something today.
Best of luck!</p>
<p>Son rejected.</p>
<p>SAT 2085
GPA 3.85 unweighted, 4.something weighted.
Lots of AP classes.
Black belt in karate.
Hispanic.
16yo
Essay good. High school (affluent, high performing) used his essay as an example for others.</p>
<p>IQ 176 and “profoundly gifted”. He never liked school much because he has Aspergers and got bullied a lot. Harvey Mudd would have been a good fit, but that’s how it goes.</p>
<p>They send out facebook invitations to admitted students. So people who aren’t home can know the result by checking that in your common app e-mail:) Good Luck!</p>

<p>Can your son try again in a year since he’s young?</p>
<p>I’d like to echo sbjdorlo. There was a 16 year old (or maybe even younger?) in my entering class, but he spent too much time playing video games and dropped out after his first semester. Though Mudd definitely admits some young kids, I think they’re still somewhat wary because of cases like this (especially when it increases their minority dropout rate, which this one did…we have enough trouble recruiting minority students as it is, so that’s a statistic that doesn’t need to be inflated by young students who aren’t ready for the responsibility and social scene of college).</p>
<p>Meanwhile, I think your son would have a great shot in a year or two. If he uses the unexpected gap year well, the admissions office will have a hard time choosing to reject him again.</p>
