Mount Holyoke Class of 2022 RD

If many haven’t received it they’re probably still doing it case by case. Anyway, you guys, I’M CHEERING FOR ALL OF YOU!!! #MHC2022

I didn’t get an email dang :confused: I got so excited for a moment

Mine starts with T. And it came at 4:45 Indian time- not sure what’s that in Eastern Time

have the only people been accepted been international students?

Do you think since they did early writes this year, they are releasing in spaced out waves?

@shaeglo im sure its possible, i guess the only question then would be just how spaced out the waves are

Oh no, I’m an international that didn’t receive an email. Guess it means bad news :frowning:

I dont think i would assume that quite yet. Only 2 people have heard here.

@filipiyes im sure its okay! they might be releasing by region or randomized groups or last names, i dont think anyone knows whats happening currently

Is financial aid portal linked to the admissions status page?

i didn’t receive an email too…

Perhaps call the admissions office in the morning (or morning here there at least) and ask about it. Can’t hurt.

Maybe they had the goal of notifying today, but as someone suggested, it took longer than they thought. So, maybe they are doing them manually, in batches. Or the early writes first?

To be honest though, I would think that in this day and age, they don’t have to send emails one-by-one. Who knows. Are they trying to torture us? Or trying to build maximum excitement? Best of luck to everyone. Maybe go to sleep and tomorrow will bring our answers?

@Westcoaster2018 if you get admitted there’s a link at the bottom of the page. Otherwise you can access it with a mail that MHC’s financial services sent a few months ago

It seems their page is different than last year so i am wondering if they have new programs., maybe thats the glitch.

Whaaat? I didnt get an email omg
