Has anyone gotten an ED decision yet?

<p>I realize it's only been 2 weeks since ED apps were due but I'm dying to know. So I was just wondering if anyone has gotten their decision yet or at least if they've been notified that a decision has been made. I noticed on go.carleton.edu that after I turned everythin in it says something along the lines of "We will notify you when a decision has been made on your application."</p>

<p>If no one has been notified yet, when do you think they'll start notifying students that a decision has been made.</p>

<p>I realize I sound anxious and it's only because I am.</p>

<p>Don’t be anxious. Try to distract yourself (hopefully with something more fun than finals :)).</p>

<p>The dates are pretty straightforward. ED is due November 15th. Decisions mailed December 15th (usually they’re mailed a few days before, so you end up getting them ON the 15th). It’s right on the website: [Carleton</a> College: Admissions: Admissions Calendar and Deadlines](<a href=“http://apps.carleton.edu/admissions/apply/calendar_deadlines/]Carleton”>http://apps.carleton.edu/admissions/apply/calendar_deadlines/)</p>

<p>I know, i know, but i figured maybe someone applied a little earlier and they got their decision already. Who knows, right?</p>

<p>I’m guessing that in your desire to know soon, the fact that Carleton does NOT make decisions on a rolling basis is just not sinking in. </p>

<p>So, why not pretend letters will be mailed by Jan 1st? That way, you’ll be happy when it comes early.</p>

<p>They were mailed Wednesday night - I called the admissions office to ask something, and the counselor told me they mailed them.</p>

<p>My son received a large envelope in the mail today. I didn’t dare open it although I am tempted. It must be an acceptance, right?</p>

<p>You live in California and you got your decision letter? Ugh. I live in Nevada and I still haven’t gotten anything. :(</p>

<p>Any international student got decision mail?</p>

<p>From the San Francisco Bay area…son received acceptance decision today. For those interested, it was posted in a fat white 9"x12" envelope. Financial aid information was also included and the direct cost/comprehensive fee for 2010-2011 is $52,005.00. Holy smokes! I knew it would be a whopper, but WOW!</p>

<p>Congratulations!</p>

11

<p>Ugh. I KNOW mine won’t come in the mail tomorrow, because I’m just that lucky. </p>

<p>Fingers will remain crossed until the mail comes tomorrow and until I open the envelope</p>

<p>Good luck everyone</p>

<p>The mail came today (Saturday) but no letter for my son. </p>

<p>I guess that’s the double-edged sword of the Internet - learning on-line that people living farther away from Northfield, MN than you do, received their snail mail letters (at least) three days before your son will. </p>

<p>Has anyone from the Tri-state area (NY,NJ, CT) heard yet?</p>

14

<p>^^^ack. I feel you, brother. I only caught three hours of sleep last night because i was so nervous.</p>

<p>But I did it. i got accepted into Carleton. I’m so relieved. Now I know what I’ll be doing next year AND i don’t have to worry about those silly application essays and fees.</p>

15

<p>Congrats!!!</p>

16

<p>Congrats to everyone! I would really appreciate it if you guys can post your stats so we RDers could learn something from them.</p>

17

<p>I did on Saturday - I got accepted!</p>

18

<p>Congrats to all those accepted!</p>

<p>My son received a rejection letter today. Unfortunately, there was a very large white envelope that also came in the mail today, so I’m sure his heart skipped a few beats seeing that. </p>

<p>Oh well. </p>

<p>Carleton is a class act. My son enjoyed all the folks he met during their summer writing program and the local alums could not have been nicer. I would recommend their program to anyone that wanted a top-flight liberal arts college and a friendly place to spend four years. </p>

<p>Best of luck to those still waiting on news.</p>

<p>Sounds like you and your son are class acts too. Wishing him the best as he moves forward.</p>
