So last year there were people who got in on the 31st of January and I’m assuming that there will be a similar release date this year. I asked my school to send my transcript with my new grades and they still haven’t sent it even though they said they would last Monday. At this point do you think it’s to late to have my grades looked at for that date or do you think if my counselor sends them when I go back to school Tuesday I’ll be fine?
No one really knows. Just because decisions were released on the 31st last year, doesn’t mean they will be again. So, it could be too late, or it could not be. Don’t base everything on what happened last year, these things are subject to change. Get your grades in, and then relax.
Basing expectations on prior year dates, especially multi-year patterns, is very reasonable. A late January, early Feb set of acceptances is expected.
