Hi! Didn’t see a thread for this. Applied RD, I’m an international student. Super excited and even more scared tbh. Any idea about the notification date?
Probably the last week of March
I emailed admissions and was told that Oxy will release decisions “midweek” next week. So maybe Wednesday?
Sounds right, last year they were released Wednesday 3/22.
Got waitlisted at Williams, counselor never submitted my mid-year grades to them, I think I’m good for oxy though.
How do they notify, is there a portal? Email? Snail mail?
I’m thinking its portal. @BeantownSchool
anybody receive the email?
March 21st at 5:00pm. Just got the email today.
@ScoutMom7 thanks for the information. Do you know if the Financial Aid notification comes around the same time? Thanks!
OMG ever since I found out we get notified on Wednesday I’ve been totally freaking out. I was wondering if anyone could give any input on what they think my chances are?
GPA: 3.7 UW, weighted I’m not sure, but I’ve taken 5 AP classes and gotten mostly A’s and some B’s in them, one C my whole high school career in precalculus, which I was a year ahead in math.
SAT: 1090/1600 (LOW, I know, I have bad anxiety especially when test taking)
EC: drama club 3 years, choir 2 years (but in 3 choirs), My Voice Music organization (leader), Project Lemonade (leader), maintained a part time job consistently since March of 2016, landed a secondary role in a feature film that premiered at Sundance Film Festival and will be in AMC theaters June 29th (though I don’t think I put this in EC, I believe I put it in one of my short answers? I didn’t think to put it as an EC)
I live in Portland, OR.
I also am a first generation college student and a foster child of 10 years.
I am graduating in the top quarter of my class.
My SAT is what’s really dragging me down, but do you think anything else I’ve accomplished makes up for it? I sent an email to the admissions counselor explaining why my SAT wasn’t up to par and why I don’t believe it demonstrates my academic abilities.
Thoughts please?! I’m freaking out and this is my top choice! I applied way back in October but selected RD because I had thought I was applying LATE to colleges for some reason!
Did the email have the title “The Wait is Almost Over”? I am trying to figure out if this title implies good news for my DS…of if they send that teaser title to everyone.
@Stitchsmom i got it too. i doubt it’s an early write 
Today’s the day! Fingers crossed
5pm pacific time?
yup yup! @BeantownSchool
