Accepted! 32 ACT and 4.4gpa. Congrats everyone!
Waitlisted unfortunely :(. Congratulations to all those that have been accepted!
To all my fellow applicants on the wait list. Do not lose hope! This is better than a rejection and hopefully those who are truly interested in attending Kenyon (myself included) will get the opportunity to do so after they let us know our status in May.
To those who got rejected. I apologize as this is likely not the news you wanted to hear, but at least the stress of waiting for the decision is over and either way I hope every single one of you are able to attend a college that you truly enjoy as much as, if not more than Kenyon.
Here!
International student , waitlisted ugh 1480 SAT1 , 770+ on both subject tests, High gpa.
Seriously so bummed.
Advice to international students out there: don’t waste your time on US colleges, trust me I did 19 and I know I’m not getting into a single one. Just look to Asia, HK , Singapore, Canada and UK and Australia if you can pay. Worth the money, takes 1/3 of the effort and so many rank SO much more higher than colleges that will waitlist and reject you in the US.
Take my word for it.
Hi guys, I’m an international student, I didn’t get any email or any notification about decision release and my portal is still the same.
Hey I think the stupid decisions take a while going out so yeah probably gonna get it today so dw

Reflection
Strengths: My essay was probably the strongest part. They really showed who I am and I am proud of them. Also my SAT/GPA is okay sooo idk idk
Weaknesses: I don’t have any AP/IB courses, so they might have thought that I’m not challenging myself. The Russian education system is confusing AF, trust me. Also, my extracurricular activities could have been better. Should have cured cancer or smth ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@alexmake I’m going to make a results thread
Did anyone receive any news about the Kenyon Writing Award?
Waitlisted. International student. 1480 SAT, 108 TOEFL, Rank 4/68, G.P.A 3.8/4 (converted). Applying for lots of aid. How many students does kenyon admit off the waitlist? I was rejected by Swarthmore and Trinity yesterday, now im waitlisted. I feel like all my efforts have been disposed off in the bin.
Waitlisted here and Skidmore. A bit surprised and quite disappointed. If I read the common data set from last year correctly, only 4 people were accepted off the waitlist. Not holding my breath.
D got in ?
California
1520SAT
4.51 GPA
I think pretty good ECs
$20k merit per year
Congrats to all and to those waitlisted or denied, it’s going to work out. Hang in there???
Accepted! No merit though.
31 ACT, 3.7 UW GPA
recs, essays, and ECs probably stood out the most for me.
