Mount Holyoke College ED 2019

Another ED II’er here! Any idea when the decisions will be out? Btw, good luck to all the ladies here :slight_smile:

Feb 1st I suppose… What’s your stats btw :smiley: @xxlestrangexx‌

@dyingseal hmmm i believe MHC almost always sends decisions to ED applicants before the ^actual^ deadline…usually, ED 1 decisions come out by 16th-18th Dec while the official date on their website is 1st January…last year for ED II’ers, it was 17th January…I’m worried sick here! :-&

Here are my stats:
ECs
-I am running an awareness campaign on Anorexia; the campaign is called ‘Beauty Fits All Sizes’. It aims at highlighting the media’s influence on body image and how its strict and almost preposterous standards of female beauty are causing deadly eating disorders for young teenage girls. Wrote a report and drafted a resolution. Presented it at the school MUN. Got it approved with and overwhelming majority. Planning to send it to the WHO at UNOG.
-I am currently writing a book on a psychological disorder called Body Dysmorphic Disorder where the afflicted individual is excessively concerned and preoccupied with the way they look…I’m planning to get it published soon :slight_smile:
-I am the Student Ambassador of the ‘Women’s Digital League’.The League works to empower both urban and rural women by providing digital services. I update their media page on Facebook & write press releases.
-Won First Prize in a debate competition held at Mari Petroleum Company Limited.
-Was an organizer as part of the publications dept at the Roots Ivy Olympiad. Wrote press releases for the three day event.
-Wrote for the school magazine 'Eye On Roots".

^I know the ECs aren’t alot but that’s what they are :neutral_face:

Grades
Did my O Levels in nine subjects; got 2A*s, 6As and 1B. Currently in my A Levels.

@xxlestrangexx‌ Realy? THAT early? Omg then maybe it’s already out by now… (I’m not sure if I wanna know the decision) Do you know how they notify us?
I’m from Vietnam :smiley:

@dyingseal yeah it does come THAT early lol :slight_smile: They usually notify by sending an email that ‘decisions are available’…and YEAH I am FREAKED OUT …dont particularly know what to expect…i really REALLY want to get in though :slight_smile:
What major are you applying for? @dyingseal

@xxlestrangexx‌ it’s still indicated on the portal that online decisions are available on Feb 1st :-/ I’m applying for Women’s and Gender Studies :wink:

hmmm that is true @dyingseal …whenever the decision comes, i hope we get in! …I’m applying for Mathematics btw :slight_smile:

Do you apply for financial aid @xxlestrangexx‌ ? Can I message you coz I don’t wanna bug anybody by asking too many questions :frowning:

@dyingseal‌ yes you may! Sorry for my late response! Email me at sarahangelaa001@gmail.com

@dyingseal yeah i did apply for financial aid…and sure you can message me…I’ll be happy to help where i can! :slight_smile:

Hi, I’m from Paraguay (South America) and I also applied for EDII. I was checking my financial aid status and the chart that was there is already gone. Could it mean the decisions will be out between tomorrow and Friday?

@xxlestrangexx‌ Kay thanks <3 @android789‌ Mine’s not there either. Quick question: Why tomorrow?

I’ve heard in Bryn Mawr they’d be sending out decisions by today or Friday. Just guessing. But, probably it’d be next week.

@android789 Last year it was out on Jan 23 :-s So nervous…

@dyingseal For all of us, i think nervous is an understatement :slight_smile: I’m really hoping we make it! and yeah my financial aid documents aren’t visible too…which means that decision is near… :slight_smile:

Hey @xxlestrangexx‌ @android789‌ have you guys submitted your mid-term reports yet? Mine just came out yesterday and it’s gonna take a week or so to get the English version from my principal. I wrote them to ask if sending it in so late will affect my application and this is what they said: “Thank you for your email. Mount Holyoke College does not expect the Mid-Year Report to be available at this time. MHC monitors a student academic progress throughout her senior year, therefore the Mid-Year Report is a required part of the application and is reviewed once it is received at the Office of Admission.” I’m really confused, they just asserted that they needed it concerning the process but not expected it now. :frowning:

@dyingseal All colleges -even for RD decisions- want to make sure that you don’t start doing really poorly after the pressure of acceptances is gone. Some colleges are very strict about it, and people have had their acceptances rescinded for getting Ds or Fs. Anyway: I think what they are saying is that they don’t expect your mid-year grades right now (since for many students that would be impossibe!) but they WILL want to continue to see your grades as the year progresses, should you be accepted or deferred to RD.

@Staceyneil Thanks Stacey for your response! :smiley: Do you have any idea when the decisions will be out?

I’m not sure: my D applied RD last year. However, if you are correct about the decisions coming out on the 23rd last year then I would expect them today. But I’m not sure where you got that: from last year’s thread it looked to me like the ED2 decisions came out on the 17th… in that case I’d have expected them either last Friday, or tomorrow. For whatever it’s worth, RD decisions came out last year on a Friday around 5 or 6 pm. They were online before my D received an email. It’s a good sign that the portal info has changed. I’d guess you will hear before the end of the week. Try to do something to occupy yourself, I know it’s so hard! Good luck…

@Staceyneil I would be really greatful if you could share your D’s stats (of course only if you wanna) THANKS IN ADVANCE!
