<p>hello, i didnt read full thread, but please tell me how you log on to find out acceptance on Groton, or NMH to find out decision, if you are not a current student? is there some sort of website set up for this?</p>

<p>They both have online notifications. </p>

<p>NMH: On March 10th at 12:00AM, log-on to the website listed below:
[Notifications</a> Log In](<a href=“http://noa.inresonance.com/nmh/notify/index.php?action=loginform&p_idschool=845]Notifications”>http://noa.inresonance.com/nmh/notify/index.php?action=loginform&p_idschool=845)
Your username and password should have been emailed to you once your application was complete.</p>

<p>Didn’t receive the username and password… D: Maybe because I applied through Gateway to Prep Schools?</p>

<p>Call today and explain the situation.</p>

<p>The Andover one keeps getting switched to “mail” although acceptances get a FedEx package on the 10th.</p>

<p>I believe Groton has not sent out login info yet. So do not call them to disturb them in such a busy time.</p>

<p>kaflookey - Many schools send out their acceptances by FedEx. Noting this for every school on the list would take a lot of work and not really add any useful info . . . but if you want to do it, then go for it! :)</p>

<p>How do schools notify acceptance to internationals? Will the mails only arrive several days after March 10?</p>

<p>F200sa: I wasn’t talking about Groton. I was speaking specifically about NMH. If they received his/her application, they would have emailed him the log-in information. This website not only allows you to check your decision, it also allows you to view your application checklist. I received my log-in information in December. If he hasn’t received the log-in information by now, that potentially could be a problem.</p>

<p>@kaflookey - yes, I don’t know any school that doesn’t send something to acceptances. Whether it’s mailed, Fedexed, or USPS’ed doesn’t really make a difference.</p>

<p>OK. I was going by my child’s experience two years ago. Andover was the only school (out of four) that sent something tangible that arrived on March 10th, and that was ONLY for acceptances. In other words the only way to learn you were rejected by Andover on March 10th was to not have a FedEx package delivered that day. This seemed atypical to me but if you are telling me it’s the norm I guess I was mistaken.</p>

<p>Edit: Ehphant to elaborate other acceptances did NOT necessarily arrive on 3/10. One school’s email failed and we didn’t get the package and learn of the acceptance until the 12th or 13th. She of course assumed she was rejected and pretty much had already moved on in her mind.</p>

<p>aaah. i know that hotchkiss, deerfield, exeter, and nmh do as well. I also know that rejections and waitlists from deerfield come ON the 10th.
It has likely changed since you went through the process.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, sadly, no news on M10 is often bad news. (Although this isn’t always the case. Some schools just don’t get their mail out in time for the acceptance letters to arrive on M10.)</p>

<p>Wouldn’t it be nice for a change if the denials were sent out first and the kids who were accepted were the ones who had to wait and agonize and wonder if they really were accepted or if their denial letters had simply been delayed in the mail? :D</p>

<p>Ephant, last year Deerfield’s WL didn’t make it until several days after the 10th. I also know families who didn’t get acceptances until later as well.</p>

<p>It was PEA that she heard from days later by the way.</p>

<p>Hmmm I wonder about this year though since it’s a weekend. Fedex and UPS charge more to deliver on the weekend…perhaps they will save money by shipping to arrive on the 9th instead! (Hey - a girl can dream)…</p>

<p>neato, i got a rejection on the 10th. That is definitely strange…</p>

<p>As an international student halfway across the world, I got 4 waitlists and 1 rejection over email on the 10th China Eastern Time (12 hours ahead of EST) and maybe two or three days more before Milton’s waitlist came, though still over email. Took at least a month before the hard copy letters came. My mom randomly gave Exeter & Hotchkiss’ to me as scrap paper for my math homework the other day and gosh, did that bring back bad memories.</p>
