<p>Would anybody know when Pitzer is announcing its admission decisions?
Is it by mail or online?
Does anyone know what the admission packet looks like if its by snail mail?</p>
<p>By looking at previous year threads, it seems some received phone calls, others email, and yet others snail mails. Perhaps calling the admissions office would be a good idea!</p>
<p>^^ Well before calling them I'll see if any CCers have the answer..
anybody know? Help a french student out...</p>
<p>mailed today by snail mail.</p>
<p>^ How do you know? That means I'll get mine tomorrow!</p>
<p>The admissions blog reveals all haha:</p>
<p>Admission</a> Unpeeled</p>
<p>Oh man, this is so exciting and nerve-racking at the same time!</p>
<p>I am so unbelievebly scared. Once again, the admit rate went down. GAHHHH!</p>
<p>Erdnase: thank you for the link! Very interesting. I love Pitzer's community feel and I can't believe their 20 percent acceptance rate.</p>
<p>Good luck to all!</p>
<p>WAITLISTED! I was hoping for an acceptance… CMC waitlisted me, and it’s much more competitive. I showed very high interest in the school. I interviewed there and had a great talk with the admissions counselor when she came to my school. I sent in my “keep me on the waitlist card” 20 minutes after receiving the letter, so it should arrive at Pitzer 1st thing tomorrow.</p>
<p>^^ Good luck to you jenny! If I am admitted I won’t attend so they will surely give you my spot no worries!</p>
<p>Accepted, in maryland, got the letter today!</p>
<p>ahhhh still haven’t gotten my letter in IL! looks like I have to wait until Monday…</p>
<p>I live in Hawaii and I got my acceptance today.</p>
<p>My D is waitlisted…anybody know if/how much Pitzer has gone to their waitlist in previous years? It’s her #1 pick but she doesn’t want to get her hopes up for nothing. The letter doesn’t indicate any waitlist number, so it seems like a real gamble at this point.</p>
<p>IN! With the Trustee Scholarship! Does anyone know this year’s acceptance rate? And how many students get the Trustee scholarship?</p>
<p>No idea when it comes to the scholarship, but the acceptance rate went down from 22% to 20% this year. As posted by Justin (one of the admission reps.):</p>
<p>Total Number of Applicants: 4079
Total Number of Admits: 822
Admit Rate: 20%</p>
<p>In State Students: 46%
Out of State Students: 54%
Average GPA 3.9</p>
<p>Rejected. Just got it in the mail today. I didn’t even know it was coming today. Whatever though, I got into Cal and UCSD and I would rather go to both of those over Pitzer</p>
<p>Waiting for news as well.
Note that # of applicants is about same as last year: 4032 for 2008, 4079 for 2009.
Slight fewer were accepted this year which lowers the acceptance rate (an easy stat to manipulate; just add more people to the waitlist).</p>
<p>Last year D was waitlisted and then received letter that they were taking no one from the waitlist because they had sufficient acceptances from their first round of offers. D decided to take a gap year, volunteer in Honduras and New Zealand, and got accepted this year with Trustee Scholarship and great FA. The tough decision to take a gap year paid off for her. Good luck to your daughter.</p>
