@hmbmomof6 can you start a new thread for this chance? THis is a decision thread and it makes it difficult for folks who want to understand who got accepted/denied and their stats if the thread is clouded with non-decision posts. Also, if you start your own thread, you are more likely to get people to respond because your “chance me” wont be hidden in a decision thread. :slight_smile:

@MorganN75 They will close from Dec 22 - January 2 and no decisions will come out during that time. The bulk of decisions will be after the holiday, usually mid January thru the end of January.

I forgot to include PreCalc on my SRAR so they rejected me for not having the right classes and I got everything worked out and my application resubmitted but am I going to have to wait for this whole long process again

State:MA
White male
Several AP and honors
Does anyone know how much the deposit is?

Cw82200 how did the admissions office know that there was an error on your SRAR? I thought they wouldn’t be matching up the SRAR to the transcript until the student was admitted and sent in a final high school transcript - is that not correct?

That is correct. No way of knowing there was an error.^^

I knew there was an error because my portal said I was rejected because I lacked required classes so I reached out and the admissions counselor said I was missing PreCalc and I told her that I was in fact enrolled in PreCalc and may have forgotten it on my SRAR and she said she would resubmit my application

Gotcha - good luck!

Did anyone apply coalition and hear back yet?? I applied coalition and my application status still says that they are receiving a large volume of applications, my application hasn’t even been reviewed yet. I applied October 12

Kdgw22, Have him check the portal for next steps. Last year it was about $375 ish? But do pay it quickly as housing is assigned in order of paid acceptance. The day you pay the deposit will have an impact on his ability to get his first choice in housing.
