<p>for anyone with past experience w/ Taft, do they e-mail as well as snail mail or no?</p>
<p>email ..for sure</p>
<p>Exeter gave me a username and password so I could check the decision on their lionlinks site. SPS' MySPS site says that decisions will be out at 9 a.m. EST March 10th, but in their letter it says 3 p.m. Which is it, does anybody know?</p>
<p>wait.. exeter is online?????????
</p>
<p>Bearcats... are you absolutely sure about Taft? They email both acceptances and rejections?</p>
<p>my sister got her acceptance through email last year, while my cousin got her waitlist email last year</p>
<p>At Taft I have not recieved a letter that they had notification by e-mail. I am not worried because there is no correlation between being "accepted" and getting an e-mail.</p>
<p>Oh, sorry eell45, I guess not. They sent me an email and I guess I misread it.
It said:
"At the Lion Links menu you may select either "My Application
Materials" to view the status of each part of your application or
"My Appointment Information" to view the date and time of your
on-campus appointment (if scheduled) or that you have requested
an off-campus interview."</p>
<p>I thought that it said something about being able to see the admission decision on the site, but I guess I was wrong. Sorry for any confusion!</p>
<p>"With our January 15 deadline behind us, the Admissions Office is now carefully reviewing the 1,300 applications received to date. Decision letters will be mailed on March 10. We will not inform candidates of our decisions by phone or fax until March 15. Second Visit Days are scheduled for Friday, March 30, Monday, April 2, and Thursday, April 5 for those students admitted to Taft. Admitted students are asked to notify us of their enrollment plans no later than April 10."</p>
<p>Remember, the notification process for international students varies from U.S. student notifications at many schools. It's possible that Taft uses some expedited notification for international students (on-line, e-mail and/or express delivery) that is not used for U.S. applicants, which is the case with all other schools that I checked with regarding international student notifications.</p>
<p>The above statement is silent as to e-mail notifications...but I suspect, bearcats, that your family members who received e-mail notifications were international applicants. I think U.S. applicants should expect the notification to come strictly via U.S. mail postmarked March 10.</p>
<p>(Frankly, I think that's kind of silly for Admission Offices to have people come to work on a Saturday, perhaps after weeks of long hours, late nights, and short weekends, just to make sure that the postmark says "March 10" when they could send their people off to the post office on Friday afternoon and let them take a well-deserved full two days off. Hopefully, they bring everything over on Friday and have the post office postmark letters on Saturday.)</p>
<p>only 1300? that's a small number</p>
<p>How many does Hotchkiss usually receive?</p>
<p>according to our school newspaper this year, Bill Leahy (the director) said around 1600-1700 have been processed so far</p>
<p>I'm applying to:
Andover
Exeter
Deerfield
Concord
Milton
St. Paul's
St. Mark's
Groton
I've only gotten information on how to view my decisions online from St. Paul's. Has anyone gotten information for any other of those schools?</p>
<p>I know that Groton, like St. Paul's, has an on-line announcement process that was announced via U.S. mail.</p>
<p>I know that (for U.S. applicants) Andover, Exeter and Deerfield do not have such a process.</p>
<p>I don't know about Concord, Milton or St. Mark's.</p>
<p>I got a letter from Andover about viewing their decision online. You have your own account and stuff. But I think it said its for international students only</p>
<p>That was a very interesting point D'yer maker made about the 10th being on a Saturday, do you think that since it is not a "regular" work day that they will just mail the letters on Friday afternoon? Hmmmmm.....</p>
<p>No. If you go to a boarding school you would know how it works..at least i know at hotchkiss. </p>
<p>The admissions staff are going to bring the letters down to the school post office on friday. The school post office staff are going to bring the letters down to the local post office on saturday. </p>
<p>The IT staff are also going to prepost everything on friday online, but it's not visible to applicants yet. On saturday, just a button, all the decisions will be shown online.</p>
<p>The IT department and the school post office are open on saturday always. The admission office is not. You realize the school office is basically a USPS chartered post office run by hotchkiss staff. We have 4 USPS trucks on campus.</p>
<p>p.s Do you guys also know if you try to bombard the adcoms with extra material, it's not only making the adcoms more busy, but our dear post office staff? I remember on the day of the application deadline the post office was PILED with stuff you cant even imagine how much stuff there was</p>
<p>Are we going to make another Prep School Decisions thread only for prep school decisions closer to March 10? We should'nt use this once since it's pretty much used only for discussion.</p>
