Congrats @rayrick! I thought it was awfully antiquated of them…particularly since the letter directs you to a special URL to register for the audition (which you then have to manually type in)! 
Son’s portal now has a place where he can apply for the Great Conversations programs. Wonder if that means anything??
Oooooo. My daughter’s does as well. I think that is a VERY GOOD sign!
Why is it a good sign? Is that something that only enrolled students can apply for?
It is only for admitted students and a required freshman course. There is no reason to have anyone NOT admitted choose which one they prefer. It is not part of the admissions process.
Olaf does not announce decisions via the portal; they send home a mailed envelope. I can only assume the envelope is on its way…
It isn’t a required freshman course, but I do agree it is a good sign an envelope is on the way.
There are three conversations you have to choose from as a Freshman: American Conversations, Environmental Conversations (new) and Great Conversations.
You are right, these are NOT required, however they are only available to admitted students.
Son’s portal now says that they are awaiting a $300 enrollment deposit. Now that Has to be a good sign!
@collegesearchmom Her portal still shows choose your Conversation course. Nothing about a deposit needed. Is this showing on the same screen?
Yep same screen
No change here. Hmmm
I am sure that it takes time to update all the portals
Got the enrollment $300 deposit update on the portal today. I think we can say “she’s in.”
@TytoAlba, was your D regular decision or ED II?
@rayrick Regular Decision
Hey, I can finally join the fun - my D’s portal wasn’t updated until today. I know this because I’ve been checking every day since I last posted on this thread. She just has the “Conversations and Learning Communities” section - she doesn’t have the $300 deposit thing yet. You should check again, @rayrick.
Will do, @choirandstages. Need to get my son to do it, though, because he’s got the login info! You’re an intriguing data point, because your D is a fellow invitee for a music scholarship audition. I had been hypothesizing that that might be one thing that made my son’s case different than those that had posted.
Large gold envelope just came in the mail! Son won’t be home for four hours…
dd’s came today, as well
DDs came today with Presidential Scholarship and $500 travel voucher to visit for some scholarship event.
