<p>D just got an email--she's in! Will be getting snail mail packet with any fin. aid etc. during the week of March 21.</p>
<p>I just got my email as well.
I am so excited :]</p>
<p>I got my email today too! I was surprised because I thought the decisions weren’t going to come out until April :)</p>
<p>Got my email yesterday!!! (:</p>
<p>OMG its starting…aaaaahhhhh the anxiety!!!</p>
<p>Big CONGRATZ to everyone… keeping ma fingers crossed for mine and yea BC1117 i thought that as well.</p>
<p>Oh the paranoia. Do the rejections come out last?</p>
<p>S got an acceptance email on the 7th, same as Upstatemom’s daughter, with snail mail info to follow the week of the 21st. We’re all delighted!</p>
<p>Anyone else getting nervous, because I am. I checked out the admitted students facebook page for the class of 2015 and they already have 325 members. This just makes me more nervous about my chances because last years entering freshman group had 578 students, so Clark might accept around the same number this year. so the class of 2015 is surley filling up and I still havent got any word :(</p>
<p>P.S give and take prob 50 or so students who got in but arent apart of the group on facebook. :(</p>
<p>DMA, remember that many of the kids on that Facebook page have been accepted to more than one school. While they all love Clark enough to join the page, they may choose to go elsewhere. Every school lets in a lot more people than actually attend.</p>
<p>Breathe deeply!</p>
<p>So true researching…my D is still waiting to hear from 5 other schools and has already been accepted into 4 (inc. Clark). She said Clark would be her #1 choice if it were not in Worcester. Any financial aid will also play a huge roll in the final decision, so nothing is set in stone.
BTW researching has your D made a decision yet?</p>
<p>No decision yet. She’s waiting on two more schools and then will decide. I foresee several pro and con lists come April 1! If I were in Vegas I’d put my money on Clark, but anything is possible.</p>
<p>She’s a city girl and so has no issue with Worcester.</p>
<p>What exactly is wrong with Worcester? I’ve read comments in other threads about how unsafe it is there for the students and about students being mugged and I’m really concerned, cuz if I get in i’d like to go there and if it’s unsafe then that will really affect my decision.</p>
<p>DM, Worcester is an old city with many wonderful points, but the neighborhood right around Clark is on the poor side, and there have been some grab-and-run-style muggings. This is, however, the case at a great many fine colleges, from USC to Yale to Trinity. </p>
<p>Clark provides an escort service in the evenings, and it sounds like as long as kids don’t walk alone at night on certain streets, it’s perfectly safe. That is true in any city. </p>
<p>My D is an LA girl, so she does not understand the concern about Clark. She’s visited twice and felt very comfortable. Of course she wouldn’t walk alone with her iPod at night through town, but she wouldn’t do that near her high school, either. And the city brings so many other benefits: music, theatre, good little restaurants, shopping, museums… Worcester appears to have all of that, plus the consortium of other colleges.</p>
<p>We drove by Holy Cross, and that neighborhood looked more run-down than Clark’s (it’s maybe a mile or so from Clark?), and for some reason you don’t hear people worried about that. Maybe it’s more walled-off. But I think it’s great that Clark makes such an effort to be part of the community.</p>
<p>Thank you so much researrching, this really put mind at ease.</p>
<p>Safety isn’t an issue for us. My D hangs in Boston and NYC all the time, in fact Boston is really where she wants to be. Clark has what D calls the “Yale” syndrome–we visited Yale and New Haven last year, and she crossed it off her list because, although Yale is fantastic, it’s basically “the only game in town” meaning it’s THE college in the city and there aren’t a lot of other schools with their diversions like Boston or even Northampton/Amherst MA have. And yes, we know about the consortium of colleges in the area but it’s still not the same. Plus the other issue is proximity to Boston; D would like to be there or be able to get there quickly. </p>
<p>Maybe we are wrong, but we did not see much of what researching stated above–“And the city brings so many other benefits: music, theatre, good little restaurants, shopping, museums… Worcester appears to have all of that.” Would love to know more about that; would put Clark in a better perspective.</p>
<p>Upstate, I don’t have any first-hand knowledge of Worcester’s perks, I’ve just read about them here and elsewhere, and my D got a look at the actual downtown when she traveled there alone last fall. All I’ve seen is the area around campus, which does not have theaters, museums, movies, etc, although it does seem to have some good, cheap little restaurants. Apparently you have to travel the mile or two downtown for the good stuff, and I believe Clark has a shuttle to get kids there.</p>
<p>My D took the commuter train from Boston to Worcester. The good news is the price, a very reasonable $7. The bad news is there are a lot of stops, since it’s a commuter train. So it takes about an hour and 15 minutes. Driving is faster, for those who have cars.</p>
<p>researching–just tried to send you a PM and it said your mailbox was full.</p>
<p>thanks for telling me-- I just cleaned it out.</p>
<p>Bump thread</p>
<p>Is clark still sending out acceptances?</p>
<p>Well according to another thread, the regular decision admission thread for the class of 2015, Clark sent their acceptances on 03/07.
:(</p>
<p>So i guess I didn’t get in :(</p>
