I need help, I haven't heard back from schools!

Prep School Admissions
1

Hey all,
I am yet to hear back from Phillips Exeter Academy. I did not get an acceptance, nor a rejection. No email, my mother didn’t get an email. Nothing. Do I just take this as a rejection? Or is there someone to reach out to?

Also, when I log in to Choate Rosemary Hall’s application portal, there is just no decision there either. It says my application was completed on time and all. It even says “click here to view your admission decision” but then it just redirects me to the same page.

Please help!

I haven’t heard back from Phillips Exeter either.

Have you gotten any other emails from them that would go to a mailing list? (I have)
And what grade are you applying for? Where are you from? I am applying for the 10th grade from New York.
Best case scenario: They are still considering us for admission!!!
Worst case scenario: We got rejected so hard that they forgot to tell us haha. (Okay probably not but yeah we may just be rejected, I really hope not though!)

I’m applying to 11th grade from FL. I don’t think that this for sure means we were rejected cause many other people that were rejected already got their decision. I also did get a few emails from mailing lists but they were in November for informational events.

We’re still waiting too, don’t give up hope yet!

This is just very odd. Have you considered trying to call?

In another thread, OP states that it was a rejection.

it may be alphabetical. What do your last name start with? Mine starts with B and i got it around 8:30 EST (waitlist)

@Publisher Im new, what does OP mean exactly?
@MAandMEmom I believe that the office is closed and so nobody would pick up if I did call.

My best guess is that it is a rejection, or they are still considering applications. I have to assume that they triple check to make sure that everyone who is accepted GETS accepted today, and if they miss a few rejections boo hoo.

These are e-mails/electronic; they go out at the same time, instantaneously. If you haven’t gotten an e-mail, it went some place other than where you are looking. Check spam and your parent’s account if there is one. If not there, call the school. All electronic M10 decisions are out unless the school specified a later time today.

@ChoatieMom That’s what I thought… this has to be an error, right? And I have gotten other emails from them in the past and it never got caught in my spam folder. Nevertheless, I’ll check right now!
Update: It was not there. I also checked my mom’s – nothing.

“OP” means “original poster”.

13

Is that like a specific person? Or just the original poster of that thread? And does that confirm that it is 100% a rejection?

14

If not email, I believe you will get a rejection letter in the mail.

15

@Center Or acceptance I hope?

16

acceptances come via email with video: within a few days you would then receive a formal letter. If you didnt receive a video I suspect you are rejected but its possible there is a glitch or error?

17

@center I am PRAYING it is a glitch… because I think I would have gotten a rejection letter if I was rejected. However, I have a hunch that it is much more likely for them to accidentally miss a rejection than an acceptance.

Did you hear back yet. We didn’t hear a thing and it’s 3/14. Thank You
