OMG, who has time for that crap? Seriously, like these kids donât have enough time on their hands already, keeping up with their course loads, some heavy ones. What about kids that right now are having a tough time with remote learning or unemployed family members or food insecurity? This is just one more thing that puts kids at a disadvantage because they may be trying to deal with more pressing issues then spending time logging in to just look at a portal that has nothing to look at? Especially when they tell you the EA date isnât until the end of January, or February or whatever!! And who the heck even wants to track that garbage. Sigh!

Someone remarked a few days ago about how the ED threads were oddly silent. At least on the Amherst thread, the nervous chatter has finally picked up and there are lots of kids sitting on pins and needles waiting for Friday night.
Almost nothing there a week ago.

Congrats to all who got good news yesterday! So exciting. We are anxiously waiting for (ok, I am anxiously waiting for) UMASS EA to come out this week. They said December 6-12 and nothing was released Sunday or Monday. Ugh!
I have a funnyW&M story. A coworkers daughter goes there. When I asked him where she was acceptance he told me, he followed with âsheâs most excited because Jon Stewart went thereâ. I racked my brain to remember which founding father or major historical figure he was⊠yeah TV host you dummy.

I apologize if this topic has already been discussed or if itâs not allowed here. Just rejoined as I have a senior applying this year. Wondering if anyoneâs child is using the âadditional sectionâ for anything other than explaining special circumstances that have impacted grades?
Also, congratulations to parents of students who got into W&M!

@3sailaway @inthegarden @MOMom3XYs Big Congratulations to your children. So happy that they got into their dream school.
When we visited with our D18 my wife and I loved the school and the traditions they have there. Unfortunately we could not get either D18 or D21 to apply.
It is a great school and Iâm sure your children will thrive there.
