<p>JMIONE1:
We receivd an email dated the 25th at 15:01.
I think it is becasue my DD is attending a school abroad and is somehow receiving all the international stuff, which many school do by email.</p>
<p>She had received the Feb 15th dated likely letter around the 7th, but no Echols call or email.</p>
<p>To give some of you hope, her SAT IIs were ranging between 610-760, but our school does not teach the same curriculum as US schools and they may adjust for that.</p>
<p>Bump, this may come in handy.</p>
<p>I think all the non-Echols and non-Rodman people have already been posting in the thread titled "RD Decisions Finally Posted".</p>
<p>rejected....out of state, asian female, 1450 sat, 750 writing, 750 math IIC, 660 history, 3.85 gpa on 4.0 scale, or 94.5 on 4.0 scale, great recs, great essays,good ec's....so whats up with that</p>
