Kenyon College: Regular Decision Class of 2021

Hi everyone! I figured we could get a thread started for regular decision applicants. I was deferred ED, but I’m looking forward to possibly being a part of the class of 2021! Super anxious, but very excited :slight_smile:

I was deferred ED too.
What’s ur stats؟

Hello I was thinking of applying to Kenyon too but i’m not sure about the chances, I think its somewhat a reach :frowning:

@ambitious07 There’s no fee and no essay. All you need is a resume and the Common App to apply.

has anyone gotten in RD yet??

I don’t think RD comes out until mid-March, unfortunately

We should hear back by April 1st. Last year it was within the first couple of weeks of March, I believe. I’m terrified.

Does anyone have any info on the decision date?

Last year, they released decisions around the 10th-11th, so perhaps we’ll hear back this week. I think it honestly depends as to how far along they have gotten reviewing all the applications. There’s been an increase in the number of applications every year, so I would not be surprised if the decision date will be later on in March if it’s still on an upward trend. Also, if you follow Kenyon Admissions on Twitter, they’ll probably send a tweet out letting us know when they’re planning on sending decisions out. Giving a call to the admissions office couldn’t hurt, either–they let me know when the ED decision date was when I called back in early December. I’m hoping it’s this week, though… the wait is killing me :frowning: How’s everyone feeling about it? Is Kenyon anyone else’s dream school? I’m crossing my fingers for us all.

Thanks so much. I will try to give them a call.

Please let us know if you hear anything! :slight_smile:

Guys, any news on when the decisions are coming out?

No news here.

anyone hear anything?

Last year it was around the 18th. Tired of waiting though!

Kenyon Admissions sent a tweet 5 hours ago saying, “We plan to release decisions next Friday at 6 pm.” So that’s March 17–St. Patrick’s Day!! I’ll be waiting anxiously until then! Good luck everyone!!

@shambled Good luck to you, too!

Super nervous… just a few days away now.

@shambled Are you sure about that tweet regarding decisions on 3/17? I was just checking my D’s portal and they have KenyonAdmissions twitter feed in the sidebar and I didn’t see any tweets mentioning a decision date.

Kenyon said it in a reply to another person’s tweet, so it wouldn’t show up on the home page.
