<p>Is there an exact date when we find out because the site just says ‘by January 31st’ and I really hope that doesn’t mean exactly Jan 31st. :-S </p>
<p>Has anyone who applied EA to Marist found out already? </p>
<p>I asked at a tour if it would be any earlier than 1/31 and they said if anything it’d be 1 or 2 days before :(</p>
<p>Oh, I was hoping they weren’t exact about it. D : I’m about to enter a real dry spell for college notification for like two months.</p>
<p>@lottechar same here! I’m about to find some schools with rolling decisions just to get some kind of news! :lol: joking. But seriously, this is going to be the longest month of my life. </p>
<p>is Marist everyone’s top choice? </p>
@courfeyracs that’s why I applied to Purdue, haha
Marist isn’t my top choice, but it’s up there. I don’t actually have a top choice; I just have a group of colleges that I’m sure I’d be comfortable at. That’s why I’m nervous to actually have to decide in April :-S
@lottechar lol! anywhere that let me apply free, I applied :)) couldn’t hurt! haha.
@laurrodes yep, it’s my top choice! I’m going crazy waiting for this letter though 
Where else did everyone apply? I applied to Arcadia, Fordham, Emerson, NYU, Manhattanville, Rollins, Ithaca, Muhlenberg, Stonehill, Siena, and Pace.
I love fee waivers but I probably should have restrained myself more than I did! D:
I applied to: Marist, Brandeis, Purdue, Washington Coll., UNH, UVA, Dickinson, Kenyon, Rice, Bowdoin, American U., and Champlain
Manhattanville is an awesome name haha!
@courfeyracs Did you find out your Arcadia decision? I got in there
I applied to Marist early action too. Did any of you guys get contacted for an interview for the FFE program?
No, but I didn’t apply for the FFE lol
