@jeanduck I thought I recognized your username from somewhere! I was flat out rejected from both Reed and UChicago, and I’m waiting to hear on Barnard. I really hope we both get lucky with this one.
@slaythedogma Though I empathize with you, I don’t think one can ever say “that money is the reason I’m out of all of those places.” I know many domestic students who don’t need aid with scores higher than yours rejected from schools such as Grinnell and Macalester. It doesn’t always make sense from the student’s perspective, but remember you have a FULL RIDE from a very good school–this process has hardly been “horrible” to you. I know far too many American families with strong students who will be going into a great deal of debt to send their children to school. Please count your blessings.
@homerdog I’m not sure if my demonstrated interest was enough. I talked to my admissions rep at a college fair at my high school, kept in contact with him, and pushed hard to get an interview, which I think went well. I also went to a Kenyon event in my city, but I never visited the school itself, which I know is a pretty big part of interest. I just never had the time to go all the way out to Ohio.
@“Arhin Jeffery” @gigichuck I saw how last year F&M waitlisted 2600 people, so I’m not really hopeful on that front…
@barcelona74 Of course we will, brother
@abdelaney I think I’m at 0-7-1 at this point, but I’m also waiting on 6 (including Kenyon). We’ll persevere
@lacmom71 Some say it’s a crapshoot, others say it’s yield protection, I say it’s my lack of demonstrated interest ;(
So, does anyone know if results are coming today after all?
@amendoim Nothing official. We know that on their Twitter account, they said it would be this week, and their website at Admissions says mid March. One user above called them today, and they said within the next 24 hours, but I would not say that was official. So, I would think it would be soon, but it’s still educated speculation.
@Anxiousdad53 thank you. It’s quite late where I live, so as there is nothing official I think I’ll go to sleep. I hope we hear back tomorrow. Good luck to all!
askddjd pls be today…,…
Still waiting 2 rejections so far Northwestern and Swarthmore but accepted to Denison.
Good luck everyone! I was accepted ED, I hope to see everyone there
Does anyone know what they could be doing right now? I’d assume decisions were all made by now, but apparently not because it seems as if they’re rushing to get them done?
Maybe they’ll be out at 6 PM Est?
@soliantu Even if all the admission decisions have been made, they have to coordinate with the people that determine merit awards and financial aid. It is a herculean task.
im guessing its not today… didnt get an email
well, looks like it’s tomorrow
It could be 7PM, but if not guess tomorrow
a lot of schools release their decisions at 7 (williams did) so I would still wait it out for today
i called this morning. they said 6pm or bust.
@JulienEd that’s so odd!
maybe it’s running late? aghhhh. I can’t stop stressing about this until I know!!!
