Congratulations to those accepted! Good luck to those who haven’t heard backk yet!
I think it’s pretty obvious that they look at more than just your stats, it’s really more of a ”fit” thing. GOOD LUCK!</p>

<p>WOW! Congratulations everyone! I can’t believe this is actually happening!</p>

<p>aww congrats rebama peaches and adele.
im rejected :slight_smile: but its been wonderful to talk to u guys here
good luck next year</p>

<p>hi… i currently go to private school in California but im not a US citizen nor a resident.
I remember i applied as an international student
but i didnt get any email…
do you think they sent me via paper mail? </p>

<p>im confused… i thought all international students were supposed to get an e-mail.</p>

<p>We can’t help you with that, twilight. Contact the admissions office.</p>

<p>Many of my friends have applied to all-women’s colleges, to my surprise and have gotten in (i.e. Wellesley, Smith) ED. I’m so thrilled for everyone right now. I was just thinking today how great it would be to continue the tradition of an all women’s college. I’m really proud of my friends.</p>

<p>Peaches and Rebama congratulations. This is so exciting. I was originally gonna take a gap year except now I am not so sure. I am super excited!!! </p>

<p>To those in the states, good luck, I really want to meet all of you.</p>

<p>adelez and rebama - CONGRATS AGAIN!! is anyone going to the admitted students orientation in april?</p>

<p>twilight12 - only girls living outside of the united states get the email. regardless of your application status as an international/out-of-state/in-state student, the email is only for people who have to wait +5 days to get an acceptance letter.</p>

<p>Kiwi_Nights – you’re absolutely right. another generation of young women will make a difference in the world, regardless of what women’s school they go to. (:</p>

<p>Angelath, I’m so sorry! But good luck with the rest of your college process! I’m sure you’ll end up somewhere you love. :)</p>

<p>Angelath, I’m really sorry too. Don’t worry about it, I’m sure you’ll love the school that you get in to.</p>

<p>Haha, I might, depends on how much school my school let’s me miss. I already missed a lot for MUN so I don’t really know. </p>

<p>OH WOW. I just found out my step-sister got accepted too. THIS IS AWESOME!</p>

<p>Angelath - I’m sorry to hear that. But nevertheless, chin up; you’ll find a school that fits you just as well that you’ll be just as happy in!</p>

<p>(Sorry this wasn’t in my last post)</p>

<p>AHH! Congrats to those of you who have been accepted!!
Good luck to those of you waiting. I am sooo hoping I get it in the mail today… that would make my YEAR.</p>

<p>hey guys, im an ED applicant but i havent recieved anything yet… do you think i should call the office? im not international, if that affects it at all.</p>

<p>p.s. to everyone who got in – congrats!! to those who didnt, im sorry =( im sure you all were accepted to other amazing schools</p>

<p>They only sent it out Friday, so most of us will receive it Monday or Tuesday. I wouldn’t worry yet. Only internationals found out (through email) yesterday.</p>

<p>For those of you in the States, what time does your mail come?</p>

<p>mine usually comes around 1 :30ish or so</p>

<p>Oh, that’s soon!!! Let us know!</p>

<p>AHHHHHHHHHH i got in!!! stats to come soon, im too excited to fill that long thing out!</p>

<p>good luck everyone!</p>

<p>(btw i live in the ny region so dont freak out if you didnt get it yet)</p>
