Decisions will be out this week. Can’t wait. :-S
They are already out for RD
are there any internationals still waiting?
That I don’t know. Sorry! I guess I assumed everyone heard at the same time? We heard about three weeks ago for RD
I still have not received decision from St. Olaf. However, there are two sections that was added to my portal, entitled “Learning communities and Conversations,” and “300 enrollment deposit.” Is anyone familiar with this, and what it means. Thanks
YES, I think that is VERY GOOD news. Why would they ask you for a deposit if they did not admit you???
My DD saw that the same week she received her acceptance.
You’re familiar with St. Olaf’s great conversation courses, right? As a Freshman you can apply to one of them (the Science conversation program is for upper classmen) and as part of these groups you are housed in the same dorm. Click through the links for more information.
But I do think Congrats are in order!
YEAH @“Ba Ali”! And don’t freak out if you log back into the portal later and those links disappear. For my daughter, the links kept appearing and disappearing on a daily basis. This is also why people who don’t see the links shouldn’t assume anything.
@TytoAlba Thank so much, that was a helpful info. I will patiently await the result.
Waitlisted
@Rhiann @Hakeemh97 another intl fellow here. have any of you got any emails?

@Splitter. Your stats are impressive!
Anyone hear anything about music scholarships yet?
