waitlisted :frowning: didn’t see that coming
 congratulations to everyone who got accepted though!!

daughter accepted ACT 31, 3.97 GPA lots of APs and honors, community service, upward trend. West Coast :)) She
Kenyon is a great school

@NJFL123 not sure. son had similar stats with SAT’s above 2300,national merit commended and 2 subject tests above 750. and no hooks and was accepted.
You certainly seem like you had similar stats to get in. Maybe kenyon now has “tufts syndrome”. we did show some dem. interest when admissions interviewed in his city at a hotel . did you show any demonstrated interest?

now going through the admission process with second child and sometimes see no rhyme or reason to admission decisions. he has had 2 positive admission results but waiting on many more and expect to have many wt. list and some rejections.

For those that got into Kenyon congrats, for those waitlisted or rejected please dont think of this as not being good enough. Admissions can be downright depressing but know that there are many right fits and LOVE THE SCHOOL THAT LOVES YOU BACK!

I was waitlisted but I am wondering how that works. Since they don’t notify you until May 1st is it expected you reject your offers from all other schools then?

She couldn’t visit because we live 1500 miles away and it was her only school in that area. She did call and email several times to ask for an interview but never heard back. I myself actually called and left a message with the area rep for an interview but never heard back. They didn’t visit her high school because we are so far away I guess. She is really disappointed - loved their English department.

@leafkansas you can accept as many wt list as you want. Although May 1rst decisions are binding and you can only put in one deposit , the only exception to this binding rule is if you get off a wt list than you can get out of your binding decisions.DEFinitely don’t count on a wt list and make sure you put in one deposit to reserve a school by may 1rst. If you get off a wt ist than great, but if not you have another wonderful school to go to.

how do you see finaid package? I can’t find it anywhere in my portal.

Daughter accepted but no merit dollars. She’s very upset, though has other great offers on the table.

Anyone know if they entrain a merit review even starting from 0? I guess worth the call, at least.

Look at the bottom of the letter - there is a link to another FA letter. My son was accepted too! ACT 32, 640 CR, 730 M, 720 W, 3.7 unweighted, almost 4.0 weighted, lots of honors and AP classes. But he has a mix of music and biology interests that may have made him stand out a little more from the potential English major. This was a reach for him, but he showed a lot of interest and I think that helped. Good luck to those on the wait list!

WL, just declined place.

I had very high stats and showed interest with an interview (to be fair, probably my most lackluster interview.) Congrats to those accepted!
